I happened to sit down to try to get through the 2017 for the second time again now in 2020. I tried it the first time back in 2019, but had to give up out of boredom. And I managed to sit through it now in 2020. And me giving up on a zombie movie is almost sacrilegious.
Right, well "Les affamés" (aka "Ravenous") was by no account an overly interesting movie, and for a zombie or infected people movie, then it was just outright rubbish. And I have no idea what writer and director Robin Aubert was trying to accomplish with this storyline. I mean the infected people - or zombies if you will - were constructing tower-like monoliths out of chairs or toys. What was that all about?
The storyline as a whole was pretty straight forward as the zombie / infected people movies tend to go. So there were no surprises or twists along the way. And in that aspect, you know what you get here, as it is all very generic and predictable.
As for the characters, well, this is where the movie definitely snapped for me. Because the character gallery is just so very bland and pointless that you don't even care an inch about them. It is hard to tell where one character ends and the next begins, as they just blended into one massive faceless mass.
"Les affamés" wasn't running heavily on the usage of special effects, in fact they were scarcely seen throughout the course of the movie. This was also something that took away from the overall enjoyment of the movie.
I managed to sit through the entire movie this time around, but I was by no means overly thrilled or entertained by what the movie turned out to be. My rating of "Les affamés" ends on a mere three out of ten stars.
