In response to despair and pain, the titular “undead” appear in deserted houses to sleep in their beds again and let their hair be combed, or they receive visits from their loved ones in the hospital. Although they are surprisingly calm and gentle zombies, the realism with which the filmmakers present their posthumous state is chilling, and it is not special, as befits someone who has just been dug out of the grave. Thea Hvistendahl’s feature debut breathes new life into the worn-out genre, because by making zombies heroes, it redirects our attention from the living dead to the living dead – people who have lost their loved ones. It is despair that alienates, pain that prevents contact, suffering that takes away the will to live, guilt that torments endlessly – all this makes you a resident of an existential limbo, a real ghost. Oslo, immersed in summer delirium, also has the status of a zombie. And the city in the summer, as we know from the cinema, is a special place.
