is a very satisfying when you know nothing about a certain movie and after viewing discover that it is actually a pleasant surprise, even more so when the film is a shoestring budget but manages to make us forget its few means we are seeing something quite cut as money is concerned.
The same was the feeling that left me "FLICK", a film made in the United Kingdom in 2008 that little recognition is not worth having, even for film fans to dump what horror films and zombies.
Without hesitation rather pay a movie ticket to see this rarity that many of the crap, the genre or not, that place regularly in the movies, unfortunately not all people think that way and melted by see upcoming shows mindless people like Michael Bay, Stephen Sommer and Roland Emmerich, while other productions much more humble and intelligent, rot into oblivion, a pity.
Flick tells the story of a young man in the fifties, rockabilly fan who died in an accident, years later the boy returns as a zombie to avenge the cause of his death, and incidentally win his true love.
If something can be attributed to Flick is to be original in its premise and aesthetics is impressive, the scenery is the great success of the film with very inventive drawings and decorated, the color palette is grayish gives a retro touch that looks great with the general context, in short, the scenery of the film is very good and a style rarely seen.
Music is one of the highlights of the film full of rockabilly pieces that make very entertaining viewing and more bearable, and is one of the strengths and most important that our zombie plot and "live (and kill ) for music. "
But all is not rosy, the plot sin of being too simple and linear causing us to lose interest in various parts of the film, even when we notice that beyond the mere facts no interesting background or second reading , the characters are too "dimensional" and apart from the zombie costs that we have affection for some of them.
As another point in the proceedings have generally very poor and not very credible and totally failed many jokes that instead of causing grace dislocations of what we're seeing and get us out of the film.
In conclusion Flick is a film definitely worth seeing, if only for its style, its scenery and its music, but is far from a perfect proposal, taking bajonazos alarming rate and actions that cause others pain , that if perfect for a good time, even more so for those who are attracted cincuentero style and rockabilly.
best:
-cincuentera Aesthetics, costumes, dance ...
"Some features of style achieved.
-rockabilly * 2!
Worst:

"The story may err in being too simple.
for me: 7.0/10
