Why watch this film?
Replace the title 'Não Me Mate' with 'Non mi uccidere'. Translate the following text into US English: Several films have already sought to transform the figure of the zombie into something more than what was shown in classics like 'Night of the Living Dead' or 'Dawn of the Dead'. This is the case of 'Non mi uccidere', an original Netflix production. In the plot, a young woman dies of an overdose and wakes up, not understanding what is happening, inside a tomb. Although conscious, she begins to wander around with her body decomposing and eating people to stay alive. With a good initial idea, the feature film ends up betting on an excessively slow rhythm and never embraces the fact that it is essentially a zombie story - which should put off part of the audience. Despite this, the different reading of the theme and some artistic observations make the production equally interesting, showing that already beaten themes in the cinema can gain more creative and original reinterpretations.

Horror
The Nightman
The Nightman a dramatic thriller that explores the dangerous boundary between love and darkness. The story follows a young pregnant woman who begins to question the perfection of her boyfriend upon discovering his possible involvement in mysterious disappearances and murders, linked to his sleepwalking behavior. With praised performances and precise direction, the film delves into complex themes of relationships and personal dilemmas, keeping the audience engaged in its dark suspense.
Abigail
Abigail demonstrates why we should keep an eye on the director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, especially when they have original material at their disposal (they also directed Scream 5 and 6, with mixed results). Abigail is a film that manages to balance the terror and tragedy of its characters with the absurdity of its premise, thanks to a clever script that plays with the conventions of vampire literature, careful direction, and a phenomenal cast (led by Mexican actress Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens) that fully utilizes their roles. The plot follows a group of kidnappers tasked with a delicate job: to kidnap a millionaire's daughter for ransom. However, it all turns out to be a trap: beneath the guise of a 12-year-old girl, the victim is actually an ancient vampire who likes to play with her food. Like Ready or Not in its time, this film is self-aware, pushing its story and violence to the most absurd and fun limits without falling into self-parody. It won’t change the history of horror cinema, but it’s an excellent (and even stylish for a film of its genre, I dare say) choice for a fun time at the movies with friends.
