It's not that Mutants is the goriest thing I've ever seen (though it is pretty damn gory), it's just that it is so consistently gory, without pause, with thick, syrupy blood constantly splashing around in just about every frame of it, with no humor or character development or even conversation for that matter, that it just left me dizzy and queasy. It's so relentlessly gory that it's hard to even be scared by the things jumping out at you while you're still recovering from gagging and grimacing. The lighting is well done; the entire movie seems to appear through a light blue filter. I want to say that the acting is good but there isn't much acting beyond crazed zombies akin to those from 28 Days Later flailing around aimlessly and biting and eating human flesh, and screaming and running and fighting and some arguing. The notion of the relationship between the woman and her infected man gives this a new spin but otherwise this is just a pile of bits and pieces taken from other zombie apocalypse movies piled together into 90 minutes of blood splatter.
