To Kako (Evil) - 2005 - 6/10
AKA - Το Κακό

Zombies overrun Athens.
Filmed for what looks like $834.00, the movie compensates with energy, heart and restraint.
Yes, restraint. Early, when potential meals start running, the film goes split screen.
Awesome! And, to their credit, the creators only do this a few more times.
There are sequences shot from the zombies p.o.v. Again, only done a handful of times.
I have seen so many horror flicks that reuse trick photography until you say, “Enough already.”
Several good (funny) combat standoffs include the outdoor cafe, and hideout.
The audio commentary is another highlight.
3-4 of the creative crew discuss the cast, budget limitations, camera tricks, audience reception.
And what inspired them, including Ang Lee, Lelouch’s “A Man And A Woman” and Bergman’s “Persona”!!
Unarguably, the best Greek zombie film I have ever seen.
