Handling the Undead

98 min 2024

Have you ever felt the presence of a departed loved one lingering in a quiet room? This profound, unsettling feeling is the beating heart of Handling the Undead, a 2024 supernatural drama that redefines the zombie genre. Instead of focusing on apocalypse and gore, the film presents a quiet, melancholic story where the recently deceased begin to slowly reanimate in their own homes. We follow three grieving families in Oslo as they are suddenly presented with a second chance, or perhaps a cruel echo, of those they have lost. Is this a miracle or a new kind of torment? The movie masterfully blends elements of horror, family drama, and psychological thriller to explore themes of love, loss, and the unbearable difficulty of letting go. The atmosphere is thick with a poignant dread, asking whether having a loved one back, even in a changed form, is a blessing or a curse. Directed with a delicate and haunting touch, Handling the Undead is a thought-provoking piece of cinema for viewers seeking a deeply emotional and atmospheric experience. It’s a film that will linger with you long after the credits roll, a quiet meditation on grief that is as beautiful as it is heartbreaking.
