Zombies and physio

We Bury The Dead [IMDb] is an arty, poignant … zombie film? With a physio scene!
Many horror fans hate this film for being “boring,” but it’s exactly what I want out of the genre: genuine, emotionally mature human drama in a crazy context.
And then there was the physiotherapy scene. 🙂
Daisy Ridley plays a physical therapist … someone begs her for shoulder help … she reluctantly goes to work, and … massage. And hurts-so-good massage, of course. “It’s horrible, don’t stop.”
Interesting.
Not that I expected the plot to pause for an interview and physical exam, of course, but I thought was a fascinating oversimplification. Sore body? Rub it! Dig into those sore spots! Duh!
Great movie overall.
