While we can imagine some viewers feeling like the action arrives a little too late, we believe the payoff to the slow burn makes Forgive Us All just about worth seeking out for genre fans.

A frustrating attempt to tell an overly familiar story, sadly Forgive Us All fails to ever get out of first gear.

It is fun to see an effective zombie horror that is virtually without zombies. As we all know from all zombie-fiction, the real danger are the humans, and the zombies are just the catalyst for this. This is perfectly true in this movie, and the core narrative does not need to have the zombies on screen to work; the humans are bad enough. At times the acting is a little flat, but that might just be the directing, or the editing, but the movie is solid, and when the zombies do make their appearance they are a bit "I am Legend", a bit "28 days later" and a bit of "Train to Busan". It is not a bad mix.
