What Doesn't Kill Us

About This Movie

What Doesn't Kill Us plays with the mockumentary format in a surprisingly fresh way. The film tackles social issues through the lens of rehabilitated zombies, which is both humorous and unsettling. The pacing feels right, with a blend of awkward interviews and candid moments that let the characters breathe. There's a distinct atmosphere—part comedic, part poignant—as it explores themes of acceptance and the absurdity of prejudice. The practical effects are quite impressive for a low-budget film, giving the undead a relatable, almost sympathetic quality. Performances are uneven but genuine, which adds to the charm. It's this mixture of humor and social commentary that makes it stand out in an over-saturated genre.
