I'm a massive fan of the zombie sub-genre but I'm also one of the first people to say the genre is a bit on the tired side and needs a massive dose of freshness pumped to give it some 'life'. I'm all for directors trying to be slightly different like Zack Synders Dawn Of The Dead (zombie's can run),28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later (virus) even to a lesser extent Stake Land turning people into vampires. We've see sci-fi, post apocalyptic go arthouse style what about zombies? Di Ingon Nato (Not Like Us) is a new Filipino attempt at the undead genre, taking the more artistic approach and actually looks pretty impressive attempt to be different. Philippines is one of those countries of the world where new upcoming directors are embracing film and exploring new genres approaching those familiar genres in a different way breathing that fresh air into them.
I always remember someone telling me when I was younger "there's nothing wrong about been different, if your happy your not upsetting anyone plus you get the final outcome you want, why not?" It's a saying I use very much nowdays, enjoy the trailer which has English subtitles!
In a remote mountain village in Cebu, Philippines, a farmer will commit murder, a young doctor will lose her first patient, and a baranggay captain will find a girl, brutally murdered in a cemetery. Within the next few days, a mystery surrounding the entire boondock will be unraveled, and they will have to rely on each other to survive. And so begins the string of horrific events that is Di Ingon Nato, a film by Brandon Relucio and Ivan Zaldarriaga, which accounts the last days of the townspeople, and how they respond to an incurable afflication that can take away the living, as well as breathe life to the dead. Di Ingon Nato is a gritty ensemble piece (Lead by Rez Cortez, Mercedes Cabral, Franco Reyes, and Donna Gimeno) portraying how people cope with the death of their loved ones. It is also a film about how they react when their loved ones return......
