FOLLOW THE DEAD

Last night, On Prime Video, I watched this Irish Zombie Horror Comedy that was not even a Zombie type movie but a Dramedy that has the Undead as part of the background story and you don't actually see any of the walking dead until the last quarter of the movie.
It is incredibly low budget which is not a bad thing, the actors did a good job in their roles, even if I've never heard of them before. they were funny in all the best parts of the film, but don't expect any gore or blood as such as it's very mild horror and even kids can watch this and not get frightened by it.
The Undead have attacked Dublin, but a group of people in rural Ireland believe it to be fake news and it could just be a terrorist attack instead, but something else is happening in Southern Ireland and they must decide on what to do, either stay at home and live through what is going on outside as nobody else cares or actually get out of dodge and find shelter. This is a funny film and the drama and comedy is brilliant until the shit hits the fan and for me it was slightly disappointing in a horror sense of a film.
This is NO "Shaun of the Dead" or "The Walking Dead", but it is a decent Irish comedy and they do make some decent horror films.
I shall rate this movie a score of 5/10, not because it was a bad movie but I was expecting a lot more from this. But it is still good!
