If Planet Terror hit the spot, these will too

Both keep coming back to the same thing: zombie
The difference: Takes it somewhere less melancholy than Planet Terror does

The same preoccupation in both: grief
The difference: Trades the momentum of Planet Terror for an angle of its own

Both land dread and unease at once

Robert Rodriguez directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Leans harder into crime than Planet Terror does

Kinetic where it counts, tense underneath

One thread runs through both: grief
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Horror with a pulse of melancholy, in both cases

Dread-soaked thriller, and it commits to that
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Planet Terror does

Action built on unease, twice over

Both lean on tension more than on horror

In the mood for more dread?
