Brain Freeze (3 Stars)


This is the 35th film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.

The film takes place on an island that belongs to Quebec. I thought it was called Peacock Island, but I haven't been able to find an island with that name. It's a place where rich people go to play golf. A special fertiliser is used to make snow melt in winter and allow golf to be played all year round. This contaminates the water supply, and people turn into zombies. This is only a temporary state. When the illness progresses, people turn into grass and die. Yes, grass.

The film is satirical, making obvious references to Coronavirus. We have quarantines and lockdowns. There's a right wing radio host who tells people that the residents of the island have to be sacrificed to save Quebec.

Zombie films aren't pretty. This isn't a pretty film. Maybe you'll like it if you're a a fan of zombie films.
