A virus has spread across France, wiping out most of the population. Paramedic Sonia and her boyfriend Marco try to survive as they head toward the hope of safety at a military base.
I'm starting to think that filmmakers are trying to do too much with the zombie sub-genre. Mutants tries to inject a little romance into the equation but I never really bought Sonia and Marco as a couple so I didn't get into their relationship, and the "trouble" they ran into didn't really have an impact on me. What I did like about this plot device were a few scenes where Sonia's frustration came through, like "I regret taking on this extra hassle of my boyfriend and his addictions." Their connection also played out nicely toward the end of the film.
Mutants starts off promising in its first few minutes, then slows to a crawl and doesn't pick up again until the final 25-30 minutes. The gore is minimal but nicely done when it's there and I liked the setting and cinematography. I'd kind of like to know why the mutants' noses apparently grow shut after infection - that's the thing that bothered me the most (probably not what the filmmaker was going for). As zombie movies go, you could do worse but you could definitely do better.
