ESP 31 Days of Horror - D13: Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End (2024)

All right, runtime is hour and fifty-eight minutes.

When I first saw the runtime, I was like, "Damn, this is long for a zombie movie." But you guys know me, bitching and complaining about horror movies being too long.

[smacks lips] But I did really enjoy this film.

I got some more stuff, uh, to say about it.

This might be a quick episode.

Uh, and a sh-- a strange disease has spread across the planet, turning people into violent creatures.

Manel, who-- I think that's his name, [chuckles] who lives in isolation after the death of his wife, will have to manage to survive in this apocalyptic scenario with his cat.

All right, this came out October fourth in twenty-twenty four.

Uh, it's all in Spanish, but you can switch it over to, uh, an English dubbed.

It was on late, so I, I just stuck with the English dub.

But, um, I'm usually a guy that likes to read movies, but I was tired, and I didn't feel like reading.

So-- But anyway, [clears throat] yeah, they have it here: horror, action, drama, adventure, suspense, thriller.

Yeah, I can go along with all of that, but, uh, IMDb, you-- [sighs] I think it's Manel.

I think that's how you say his name, right? I, I didn't really catch it.

Is sheltering from a rabies-like disease which sweeps the planet until he is forced to leave and meet unlikely but essential traveling companions.

This is directed by a Carlos Torrens.

I think that's how you say his name.

Uh, written by Angel Agudo, Manel Loureno.

I think that's how you say these names.

And this stars Francisco Ortiz, José María Ya- Yapicz.

I think that's how you name.

And Ira del Río, Berta Vas- Berta Vazquez, a Marta Providén, uh, Am- Amelia Gómez, and a bunch of other people.

All right.

Well, th- there's usually another summary over here.

Uh, reviewers say Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End delivers engaging zombie entertainment with excellent performances, particularly from Francisco Ortiz.
