Mutants reviewed in Variety

Mutants (2009)Variety has posted a review of MUTANTS, a French zombie film released in its native country earlier this month. According to Jordan Mintzer, the film is far from ground-breaking but manages to entertain anyway:

A gory crossbreed of “28 Days Later,” “Dawn of the Dead” and several other zombie reprises, “Mutants” is far from groundbreaking but a worthy enough addition to the recent trend of screamers from Gaul. Writer-director David Morley’s debut — about a corrosive virus that turns humans into gut-munching, blood-vomiting monsters — is fast, extremely dirty and rarely boring, despite routine plotting and few new surprises. Well-tuned low-budgeter performed weakly on May 6 local release, but could morph into potent homevid chow for horror fans in France and beyond.
