for france this is realy good

[gabmcking · 5/10 · 24 August 2018]

The movie is bad(like most zombie movie) but made with a certain profesionalisme. the one thing that is suprising is that it's made in french,something you never see from them.just for that it's something to see: the only french zombie that is watchable

A semi-decent indie zombie flick? Who'da thunk it?

THE TRIP is an indie zombie flick from France. Before you groan with disbelief, I should say that it's one of the better ones of its type that I've watched, a lot better than I was expecting in fact. It's too cliched and predictable to be particularly good, but for an indie movie the atmosphere building is surprisingly decent and there's some build up and plotting here, rather than just mindless action. The fast-paced story is about a contaminated water supply turning ordinary townsfolk into a slavering horde, with some good set-pieces including the storming of a hotel by the undead. There are lots of gory moments and better make-up than the budget would have you believe, too.

Under influence

It is so obvious that this film was made by a dude under the influence of Jean Rollin or even George A Romero. I remember LES RAISINS DE LA MORT, given by Rollin in the late seventies, a kind of pre zombie horror film set in the deep French mountain country side, where it was also question of contaminated liquid, wine in the Rollin's film. And i must admit that I find something of this here, same atmosphere and clumsy acting too, but that belongs to this precise atmosphere so French and fun to watch. The audience has to be indulgent with this kind of films, most of them being short length movies, made with tiny budgets and never released in movie theaters for most of them. This one makes no exception; thanks to Amazon to give this feature a "window" to be at last shown. Netflix does the same, fortunately. Except the ending, which is not dark enough for my bloody taste - after all it's a horror movie, a French one, supposed to be brutal and radical - except the ending, I was very pleased by this film, despite the awful acting. I hope I will see more of this kind in the future.
