Zombie Reddy follows the story of a set of people turning into zombies In the eye of the pandemic and in a quest for a vaccine. What is the cure? The story has a novel value to it as it is set against the backdrop of Covid-19 pandemic. The screenplay is such that there is a slow buildup in the first half where almost nothing happens. There is a subplot that unfolds during this period. Now the thing with the Zombie genre is that you want to get into the thick of things right from the beginning. But you sit there patiently for the eventual apocalyse to set in. Here I would like to mention that as a standalone feature, the subplot was not too bad, the only drawback being this was a Zombie film. Cut to the second hour and things begin to speed up as the Zombies are in play. The second hour more than makes up for the inactivity of the first hour. The tension is palpable and so is the humour with several twists along the way. I was also convinced about the ending, there were shades of mythology to it which was refreshing to see. The screenplay was a killer in the second hour.
