Zombie-Beginning (2017) offers a unique blend of horror and romance, woven together with a distinctly Japanese aesthetic. The film centers around a scientist in the Japanese army conducting unsettling experiments on corpses, which creates a chilling atmosphere right from the start. The pacing lingers deliberately, allowing the tension to build as the scientist's moral dilemmas intertwine with a budding yet tragic love story. Practical effects stand out, lending a visceral quality that’s reminiscent of classic genre films. Performances vary, but there's a raw earnestness from the cast that adds depth to the narrative, making its exploration of love and loss amongst the undead more poignant. It’s definitely not your typical zombie flick, which makes it a curious watch for genre enthusiasts.
