GamerTab That was an excellent one.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Paul Magne Haakonsen When I bought this movie from Amazon I hadn't heard about it before, and I came upon it by sheer luck as I was browsing through a search of zombie movies. So I read the description and thought it sounded alright.Now, the term zombies was used, although I think that term is relative. Because the creatures in this movie aren't really zombies as per the typical zombie term. They are showing some level of intelligence and they are quite fast and agile, running around at high speeds. For me, that doesn't really work and doesn't qualify as a typical zombie. No. For me, zombies are slow, shambling, brain-dead undead beings, husks of their former selves.Putting that aside, zombies or not, "Mutants" isn't a bad movie. It was shot in a very nice location, and there is a sense of isolation brooding in the movie. And the movie is good in building up a slowly growing sense of dread, as the events occur.And mind you that the movie is in French, if that might discourage you. I didn't catch up on that fact before I got the DVD and checked the backside of the cover. I don't mind foreign movies at all, just a friendly heads up if you got a thing against movies in other languages.I wasn't familiar with anyone in this movie, and that worked out well for me, because then there was no associating the actors/actresses with other of their previous roles. And the people in the movie actually did good jobs with their given roles."Mutants" had a good special effects crew on it, and the mutants (or zombies, as you prefer) did look good. However, I don't fully understand how Marco's face could have changed that much in so little time. But hey, who am I to understand how this disease works? There is a lot of good action scenes in "Mutants", and they are well executed. And the movie also holds a good amount of character building and lets you get to feel for the characters.All in all, "Mutants" is a good thriller, however I was sort of disappointed as I was expecting more of a typical zombie movie. "Mutants" isn't a bad movie at all, just don't watch it with the expectations of a Romero zombie movie, "Mutants" is more in the likes of "28 Days (or Weeks) Later".

poe426 Long before George Romero and Company redefined the zombie in fright films as flesh-eating ghouls, one often found (in the pages of comics and in some of the "lesser" sci-fi movies of the '50s) what were then called MUTANTS. Whenever a story called for lumbering, diseased human monstrosities, they were mutants- usually the result of some Atomic test or other type of radiation on the loose. We've now come full circle. MUTANTS is a variation on a very familiar theme (the zombie movie, more or less), done exceptionally well. The mutants are ever-present ( their presence suggested, early on, by an effective use of sound) and, when revealed, live up to one's wildest imagination: the makeup fx here are GREAT, and the MUTANTS literally LOOK like they're rotting away even as they attack. (These aren't the stereotypical zombies we've seen in movies like THE HORDE, either: they have to be seen to be believed... Their gradual decomposition gives them a blackened, necrotic look that's downright unsettling to see. It's a graphic dissolution, make no mistake about it, and it rings true. The look also reminded me more than a little of DESCENT.) We also get to know (and therefore to care about) the leads- a rare thing these days (where most characters are simply fodder for makeup fx or cgi). A VERY solid 10.

Coventry Since there have been more zombie movies than talk shows coming out during the past ten years, it's becoming very difficult for directors/scriptwriters to surprise the fans with something new and original. This French effort tries to achieve this through blending the zombie mayhem with a tale of true love. Like "Zombie Honeymoon" already tried back in 2004, "Mutants" revolves on a woman who loyally stands by the side of her man even though he's going through several phases of "zombification". In a completely desolate and daunt snowy landscape, ambulance drivers Marco and Sonia are ambushed by mutants (victims of a worldwide virus) and Marco gets infected. Sonia, who is strangely immune for the virus, takes him to an abandoned army facility and tries to delay the impact of the virus as long as possible. "Mutants" is slightly better than the aforementioned "Zombie Honeymoon", simply because the atmosphere is much grittier and the situation more hopeless. As a viewer, you also grow to care for Sonia a lot more than you would for the averagely stereotypical protagonist in any other random zombie movie, and it definitely helps that the gorgeous Hélène de Fougerolles gives away a wonderful performance. "Mutants" is also a very gruesome and gory flick, although without being exploitative. The gratuitous zombie kills/killings are kept to a modest amount, but the make-up effects are excessively nauseating. That's a positive comment, mind you! In all honesty, this is a very decent and admirable horror movie, yet for some reason I can't be overly enthusiastic about it. The wholesome felt very derivative and mundane, definitely not a film I'd bother to see again or even recommend to someone else.

BrackusStudley As a huge fan of Zombie films, I was excited to get into Mutants. It being French didn't really matter to me. The shooting was well done, great gore, okay acting, but the storyline left me thinking "COME ON". The events that took places were just plain stupid. And somehow the main character ,a poor little white lady, survives.*SPOILER ALERT* She kills a SOLDIER. Really a skilled person in the military? It was the French military, but even still. A paramedic shooting a really brute soldier in the face for no real reason? Come on. The main character also watched on two separate occasions people get eaten alive while she was holding a fully functional weapon. Then when she escapes to out of the building through a vent into a small area surrounded by fences, she wastes time trying to pull the lock when she had all the time in the world to climb over. But get this, the zombie catches up to her, and DOESN'T attack her. He sniffs her. Then she kills him. I was completely confused. But GET THIS. The zombies surround the fenced area. Just then the army comes, shooting them. Bullets fly everywhere, yet shes unscathed. It all seemed too cliché with the army coming to the rescue of the little innocent pregnant white lady. It all left me shaking my head at what could have been a spectacular zombie flick. 4 out of 10. Yes the storyline was that bad.
