ShangLuda Admirable film.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Seb In this movie people living on the edge of the mangrove swamp find their food becoming scarce and venture into a dangerous part of the swamp. This sets in motion an entertaining zombie bloodbath with plenty of splatter effects and proper groaning moaning shambling zombies.I have to mention the soundtrack which keeps up a great beat during the action and is nice and eerie when they're in the swamp at night. It definitely adds something to the movie.On the downside there are two old people in this movie who seem to be played by younger people with unconvincing latex masks which is a bit odd. One of them (the old lady) has a very annoying voice and much too much screen time. Other than that I liked the characters, mainly because they do a pretty convincing job of looking terrified. Especially the older fisherman, his sheer terror at being trapped in close quarters with the living dead is totally believable and funny to watch.

Daniel Rodrigues Saying that this movie resembles Braindead, is exaggerating... "Mangue Negro" is a low budget Brazilian movie, with non-professional actors, with some flaws...but it's enjoyable...The zombie characterization is very disgusting, in a good way...the blood scenes are very well planned...and the movie only slows down in the beginning...but after the first zombie appearance the movie continues very well paced...I enjoyed it...and I think many of you will too.But keep in mind, that if you are going to see it because you've read that this is like Braindead you will be disappointed...but if you see it for what it is, a very entertaining zombie flick, you will enjoy it very much...

Claudio Carvalho In a polluted mangrove swamp, the locals recall the time when they could fish and catch mud crabs to sell and feed their families and themselves in their isolated community; now the swamp is dead and they can hardly find a fish or a crab in the dirty water. During a night, dead bodies raise from the swamp, attacking and biting the dwellers that transform into aggressive zombies. The local Luís (Walderrama dos Santos) fights against the monsters to survive and save the life of Raquel (Kika de Oliveira), on whom he has a crush.The Brazilian"Mangue Negro" is a trash movie so gore that recalls Peter Jackson's "Braindead". The story is very simple, but the make-up and effects are surprisingly great and the hero uses a hatchet to get rid of the creatures that threatens his and his beloved lives in a bloodbath in the level of "Braindead". His romantic declaration to Raquel is hilarious. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Mangue Negro" ("Black Mangrove Swamp")

With every bite, parents, friends and brothers, become awful creatures.In front of a horror that doesn't move back, not even with the daylight, that doesn't exempt fish or crustaceans, an obstinate and fearful survivor is revealed, skillful with the ax and terrible when the moment comes to declare to the brunet who makes his heart beat.
