Creepy as it is beautifully majestic and sentimental, Handing the Undead is a zombie film like no other, as it focuses on the impact of both losing a loved one and gaining them back, instead of the outbreak as a whole. With an ensemble cast of protagonists, freaked out and then amazed, that their family members are back, only for it to grimly set in, that they are back as brainless murderers, and who they were pre death will never be reawakened. Patiently and methodically directed by Thea Hvistendahl, with gorgeous eriee cinematography, realistically felt dialogue, a cast of the likes of Renate Reinsve and Anders Danielsen Lie of The Worst Person in the World (2021), and a rush of slow burn terrifying horror and special effects, set in the real world - Handling the Undead is a new zombie classic, and a powerful reenactment of real pain and real grief. 9/10.
