MULBERRY
STREET-2006-A virus carried by rats turns residents of NYC's Lower
East Side into blood drinking, flesh craving zombie rat people in
this horror film that uses a lot of character development to cover up
the fact it's just another 28 DAYS LATER rip-off with very jerky
camera effects. The zombies are fairly grotesque but not very
powerful as a bar owner beats a few of them up with a frying pan. The
lead character is an ex-boxer named Clutch (Nick Damici) who takes
out a few zombies with punches. Meanwhile his soldier-daughter (Kim
Blair) wanders the city trying to unite with her dad. Once again the
ending seems to say it might have been caused by our evil government.
Writer/director Jim Mickle does a competent job handily the cast and
gore but it's too dark and frenetic.
Thanks for reading!

I thought this was better than usual and appreciated the attempts at (gasp!) characterization. Nice change of pace compared to other recent genre films IMO. It's definitely not without problems. The shakycam was awful!
Welcome back and hope you had a great Christmas / New Years!
