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!
