The world is overrun by zombies, and Boy (Jeff Dylan Graham) is just
one of them ... or maybe he isn't, (not yet dead) people who know him say
there's something poetic about him, something that helps them make sense
of the weird world of theirs, he might even be the next messiah. Because
you know, there's something different about Boy, he almost seems to have a
mind of his own - which of course doesn't mean that other people don't
just want to shoot him in the head ... Moderngrumble is
a very unique zombie movie, inasmuch as it doesn't focus so much on the
usual bloodshed as such, and especially not on humans trying to cope with
the zombie plague, but on an individual zombie himself, who might have a
whole lot more depth to him than one might suspect. And a beautiful and
lyrical directorial effort and a compelling performance by Jeff Dylan
Graham actually do make this work, too. By the way, part of Hillbilly
Horror Show - Episode 3.
