We bury the dead (2 Stars)

This is the eleventh film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.

An American weapons test has killed everyone on the Australian island of Tasmania. Soldiers and volunteers are sent to the island to dispose of the corpses. What they discover is that most people are dead, but a small number still walk around in an undead state, becoming violent when approached. They're zombies, although the film never uses the word zombie.

The film follows a woman called Ava who's looking for her husband. It's a road movie.

The idea behind the film is interesting, but there are so few zombies that it's boring. Most of the time we see Ava and her companions walking carefully between corpses. The attacks by the zombies are too seldom to make the film exciting.
