… a charming, superbly crafted, feel-good film

While it might lack the jump scares and body count of a typical zombie film, Handling the Undead has a beating heart that delivers a surprisingly tender story …
... nothing more than a derivative, predictable entry into a genre filled with many that have done it better before.
… a subtle but very real atmosphere of foreboding …
… a poignant and relevant tale of class, and the attempt to be part of a world and society that, unfortunately, may never accept you.
… between the unfortunately mismatched casting, the rote dialogue, and overall unimpressive storytelling, there’s not much to recommend here.
...a wonderfully sick and twisted freak-ride...
A stunning depiction of an Australia not frequently seen on screen...
… emotional… heartbreaking… war movie painted in shades of David Lean.
...makes for a mighty fine cinematic dance partner...
