10 Best Movies Of Grimmfest 2016 Ranked

10. What We Become

The first of three zombie films on this list, and to prove there is still life in the old genre yet, three very differently themed films. What We Become plays out similarly in tone and style to early episodes of Fear The Walking Dead, when confusion and ignorance were rife, but manages to maintain a sense of originality despite the obvious references.

Quarantined in their home during what is initially thought of as a simple viral epidemic, things go from bad to worse for the Johansson family. Infected neighbours, an aggressive military and surprising levels of stupidity coupled with a real lack of any common sense leads them into situations that become increasingly dark and dangerous; on more than one occasion you'll find yourself questioning their life (and death) choices.

Playing on our fears of the unknown and enforced captivity, What We Become is, however, an intelligent zombie film that, while following many of the tropes and themes we are used to, still manages to blend them together with an atmosphere of tense oppression. A decent entry into the genre, and one which carries a finale almost unbearably bleak in its futility and despondency.
