This film was film was creepy and underrated. It definitely had an "It Follows", "Final Destination" vibe to it. The fact that bodies kept coming after the protagonist often in the form of people that she knew and never saying anything just slowly following after her definitely reminds me of It Follows and I personally believe that's part of where the premise of the film came from. At the same time there's an undeniable intelligence with intent controlling the bodies that kills people who like the protagonist survived death, witnessed a murder it committed or got to close to the truth/is a threat to it, which definitely sends Final Destination vibes. Despite the undead aspect of the film it doesn't have a zombie feel to it nor does the word zombie ever come into mind during this film. The climax which leads directly to the ending is full of so much tension it can be cut with a knife. The sense of dread the protagonist has as literally anyone whose recently died can reanimate and come after her is unnerving to say the least. I won't spoil the ending but I will say the protagonist's demise is one of the greatest and most tragic in film history. There is a sense of impending doom whereas the protagonist was always going to die like in the films Drag Me to Hell or an American Werewolf in London. Its sad and haunting.
