Ataun of the Dead

About This Movie

Ataun of the Dead is this quirky blend of political satire and absurdity that you don't quite see coming. Set against the backdrop of the Third Carlist War, it takes a wacky turn when two Carlist scientists accidentally contaminate a local cheese winner, which leads to all sorts of chaos in the small Basque town of Ataun. The tone dances between the comedic and the bizarre, with a pacing that keeps the laughs coming without dragging. The performances are a mixed bag, but the distinctiveness lies in its practical effects and the off-kilter charm that infuses every scene. It certainly captures a unique slice of Basque culture, albeit through a very warped lens. It's not your typical zombie flick, that's for sure.
