Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh The three leads manage to keep the audience engaged in an entirely contained and isolated reinvention of a zombie story. Rated: 4/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Anton Bitel Projected Figures Here character, rather than creature, is key – and as though to underline the film’s refusal to deliver on straightforward genre thrills, frustration and disappointment are made prominent themes. May 26, 2014 Full Review Anton Bitel Projected Figures stand[s] out as a welcome oasis amidst the arid uniformity of so many other zombie films. The apocalypse may be equally bleak wherever you go, but it is at least a whole lot more original, intense and internalised in the Argentine wastelands. Aug 27, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The Walking Dead it ain't!!! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member A claustrophobic ménage a trois character study featuring video diaries, tattoo addiction and suicide by zombie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Took me a while to find this one on Flixster as it's called What's Left of Us in the UK which I think is a far better title than The Desert. Any how, this is a zombie movie from Argentina but for a zombie movie it does have a distinct lack of zombies. I counted 2 in the whole movie and we only hear the rest. None of this really matters though because the post apocalyptic zombie filled world is just a back ground filler really to the 3 central characters trying to survive on limited resources in this new world and the fact that there are only 3 of them brings tension to the story. Fairly decent human drama centred on what we must sacrifice in order to survive. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member About the decay of love, apparently. Pretty depressing, more about the futility of life (in a zombie apocalypse) **1/2 #ff13 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
