Just when you think there’s nothing new that can be added to the zombie film genre, director Mark McQueen comes up with a bit of brilliance: zombie pakour. The film is set in the near future, where a big British corporation has come up with a new energy drink product to help people get through their busy day. They test it on 30,000 people and 29,999 turn into the flesh eating undead, only flesh eating undead that are jacked up on the energy product so they’re not only strong and fast, but over-caffeinated to the point of leaping and jumping over everything in their path (that they aren’t eating). It’s not played for laughs, but for the high-octane thrill, which adds to the dark comedy of the situation as the few survivors try to get the one non-dead test subject to a lab so they can make a cure from her blood.
