O Homem que Gostava de Zombies is a fascinating dive into the mind of Eurico Bernardes Catatau, a figure often overlooked in the evolution of Portuguese cinema. The documentary's tone sits somewhere between reverent and playful, capturing Catatau's unique obsession with zombies and how it shaped a niche genre in Portugal. The pacing is a bit uneven, which actually adds to its charm, giving you time to absorb his quirky insights. The practical effects, though limited, are surprisingly effective, especially when contrasted with the more mainstream horror tropes. Interviews feel genuine, revealing a passionate spirit that permeates the film. It’s not just about zombies; it’s about the love for film, the underground culture, and the creative spirit in a country still finding its footing in genre storytelling.
