Thoughts on The Horde
Thoughts – The Horde is an action horror that will take us into the zombie world where a group of survivors must fight off an endless number of undead to survive against the odds, using the environment to their advantage, this time a tower block. When it comes to the zombie styled horrors, they are kept on the simpler scale of storytelling, as we will see people needing to put their differences aside to make it out alive, with them needing to overcome more difficult challenges along the way. The action sequences are relentless, with the bodies piling up, the blood splattering, giving us a truly entertaining style to everything we see. The actors all commit to the relentless action required, giving us some over-the-top moments, which do feel deserved for the film.
Final Thoughts – The Horde is a relentless action horror that never holds back on the blood splatter.
