Mud Zombies (2008) is a gritty horror film that dives into the grim atmosphere of a polluted mangrove swamp where the dead don't stay dead. The film's pacing feels deliberate, building tension as the night reveals its horrors. Practical effects are a highlight here, with the transformation of the victims into zombies offering a raw, visceral quality that's sometimes missing in modern CGI-heavy fare. The performances are pretty solid for a low-budget flick, especially Luís, the local fisherman, who embodies that desperate fight for survival. It's not all about jump scares; there's an underlying commentary on pollution and its consequences. This film stands out for its environment and the way it uses the swamp as a character in its own right.
