Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
chaosbaron The film market today is absolutely flooded with zombie films, shows, games, and other media and they all seem to follow the exact same formula and tired clichés. With most zombie media, there is a skip strait to the apocalypse, this being the reason that it just doesn't make sense how such a thing could spread. This film actually attempts to show the slow transition, which is appreciated for the simple fact that it is different. There is a degree of suspense building and some decent character establishment before the action kicks off. The acting is acceptable, with nothing detracting from immersion. Camera quality is clearly lower budget. It can employ the shaky and rapidly moving camera technique during action scenes which is a bit annoying. I have to comment on the music choice during the initial action scene which was some indie track. Not a fitting choice, and made the scene kinda feel less intense. Overall, not a bad choice for major zombie fans, otherwise, a pretty average horror film.
Uriah43 Diseased rats infected with some type of virus are attacking people in New York City causing the residents to transform into ravenous rat-like zombies. In one particular apartment complex on Mulberry Street the residents take up a defensive posture hoping to survive long enough for help to arrive. "Clutch" (Nick Damici) is a former boxer who essentially tries to lead in this endeavor. His daughter, "Casey" (Kim Blair) is a wounded combat veteran of Iraq who has just gotten out of the hospital and is trying to make her way to him through the streets of New York. "Kay" (Bo Corre) is a waitress at a nearby bar who lives up the stairs and is attracted to Clutch. Likewise, there were other characters with similar life stories which the director (Jim Mickle) did a pretty good job of setting up as well. So much so that I was a little disappointed with the ending. But since I don't want to spoil the film by saying which characters live and which ones do not, I won't go any further. What I will say though is that this movie has some very fast action which made it a bit difficult to fully absorb at some points. Additionally, zombie purists may not consider this film to be a "zombie" movie in that it follows more along the lines of "28 Days Later" than the standard zombie formula. But even so, I thought this was a pretty good movie all the same and I recommend it for those who enjoy a film of this type.
terminatorjenkins "Mulberry Street" is perhaps the only movie I have enjoyed in the "8 Films To Die For" Series. Maybe this sounds like it is winning admiration by default, but no: really, it is entertaining.Think zombie movie only with rat people instead of zombies. Do I really need to say more? The picture is a little too fuzzy dark, but it does not kill the tension, though I would not say it adds to it. I appreciated the movie for being more of a "throw people into a crazy scenario" type of event as opposed to a trying to explain everything that is going on concept. This makes the characters more interesting than the plot, which is exactly what is needed in a horror movie that is not trying to turn the basics of the genre trappings on end. Casting leans more towards adults in a fight for their lives than the general teens in peril route and this was refreshing as well. The acting overall is good stuff with no one trying to out do themselves or the others, one nice melded together group. The musical score was pretty cool too.The special FX get better as the movie goes along and I was very impressed with the scope of what they were able to pull off. I really got the sense that Manhattan was being overrun by killer rat creature people things."Mulberry Street" is a bloody street worth visiting. I thought it was an entertaining romp, even though the ending was lacking the final punch I was hoping for. Perhaps I would not "die for" this movie, but I would check out a sequel, or be more open to giving other movies in this series of releases a chance if they employed the same filmmakers.
bababear I'd been curious about this because when I was small I read TO THINK THAT I SAW IT ON MULBERRY STREET, and so it had my attention from the get-go based on that.The template is, of course, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and, before that THE BIRDS. A group of people is trapped together while under attack from external forces.The thing is, this is a very interesting group of people played by excellent but unknown actors. This is actually a benefit: if big stars were cast, you'd have a pretty good idea what the life expectancy of various characters was.The main character is Clutch, a former boxer. He lives on Mulberry Street in New York City- and this is actually New York City, not Toronto- in a neighborhood that is undergoing massive change. Real estate developers are chasing off the locals (i.e. poor people and/or minorities) to put up luxury buildings. But what they can't get rid of is the rats. In the heat of summer they are thriving, and they become bolder and begin attacking people. When people are bitten they become monsters and attack other people, thus spreading the disease more and more quickly.Clutch's daughter, Casey, is coming home bearing the scars of war in the Persian Gulf. She gets to Manhattan, but when the subway trains stop running due to the epidemic she has to make her way to Lower Manhattan to find her father and his friends.I can't believe this movie was made on such a small budget. Wow. If there were any justice the people who worked on this movie- the actors didn't get paid, most were friends and relatives of the director and writer- would all be millionaires.
