Gory. Brutal.
The title of the film is taken from a Colonial term for the measurement to determine one's indigenous status. In this film the term twists in this zombie film where the members of a distant tribe are rendered immune to the disease, but are quickly overwhelmed by the survivors and the undead both. The Reservation's Sheriff tries to maintain control while his two sons are divided by their approach to the crisis.
This film goes for the jugular from the outset, the film opening in the outset of the crisis with a gruesome exhibition of guts and blood. The film has a lot to say about Colonialism- Too much to unpack in one review, but the film isn't subtle about any of it. But it never allows the message to overwhelm the absolute horror of the story itself.
8 out of 10, strong recommend.
