REVIEWS:
“Brain Freeze builds upon the traditional zombie outbreak formula and tropes, adding regional specificity and a modern twist that keeps it breezing along with biting humor and self-awareness.” www.bloody-disgusting.com
“A very different type of zombie film, this French-Canadian production has an eco-message but doesn’t get bogged down with it, preferring to get straight into the neck-munching. There is an alt-right radio DJ who gives the filmmakers more chance for some satire. Writer/director Julien Knafo opts for fast-moving zombies but gives them some algae growing on them. For the most part, it’s an amusing and well-made movie, but don’t be expecting a gore-filled romp.” www.starburstmagazine.com
“It’s attractively packaged with good cinematography and it makes good use of locations both indoors and out, but it lacks that je ne sais quoi necessary to distinguish itself from the horde, and once it’s shambled away you’re unlikely to give it much thought.” www.eyeforfilm.co.uk
