Renate Reinsve in Handling the Undead
Zombies get a bad rap. Beyond all the flesh-eating and attempts to turn the living into the undead, the fact of the matter is these shuffling masses were once loved. We often think of zombies in terms of losing loved ones, when on the other side of that coin, it’s an opportunity for a second chance with the ones we love. At least, that’s the concept behind Handling the Undead, directed and co-written by Thea Hvistendahl, alongside co-writer John Ajvide Lindqvist of Let the Right One In fame.
This phenomenon is happening around the city, and yet, instead of fear, these people are glad to find those they’ve recently lost returned—a sorrow averted. As we watch the living comforted by the return of the dead, Handling the Undead asks whether or not it’s better to have a shell of a person we love for our own comfort, or let them rest in peace instead?
In addition to feeling fairly similar to Les Revenant, Lindqvist and Hvistendahl’s screenplay can’t help but remind of Lindqvist’s other work and how those other films were able to maintain a level of underlying dread, but with a narrative that still went further than what Handling the Undead is doing. Let the Right One In and Matt Reeves’ Let Me In both managed to set that tone, but tell a captivating story that played with the conventions of vampire tales.
