Our take
A Spanish zombie thriller about a man and his cat surviving a rabies-like outbreak. Dialogue includes bite-transmission talk, monster labels, f-word panic and a kiss message. Siege tension and infected attacks sit in familiar genre territory. The peril stays outbreak-and-isolation focused rather than extreme torture horror. Best for older teens who can handle zombie violence.
Uplifting themes
Loyalty to a pet and to neighbors surfaces briefly. The positive thread is light against the outbreak backdrop
Story (may spoil tone)
When a kind of rabies that transforms people into aggressive creatures spreads across the planet, Manel isolates himself at home with his cat, relying on his wits to survive; but soon they must go out in search of food, by land and by sea, dodging many dangers.
