A young man has been stuck in an elevator for what only seemed like minutes, but the world he returns to is not the one he left: The whole city seems to be totally deserted, and there are traces of violence everywhere. Eventually, the young man finds a corpse, horribly mutilated, but what's worse, the corpse comes back to life, as a zombie. And after a short while, our hero runs into other zombies as well, and they seem to be hell-bent on killing him and eating him up. Cornered by the zombies, the young man is only just saved by a man with a gun. The two of them try to make it to a save haven, wherever that may be, and along the way, pick up another guy and a woman - both of whom soon fall prey to the zombies though. Eventually, our two heroes find a car and continue their escape to god-knows-where on wheels, until a (clearly not zombified) hitchhiker blocks their way. They want to give him a ride, but the hitchhiker has other ideas, shooting the man with the gun dead with his shotgun, then chasing the young man away ... and finally, the young man too becomes a victim of the zombies ...

 

The tried and true carnivorous zombie-narrative, stripped to the bone: No explanation (which is just as well, as explanations in zombie-movies usually suck), very little dialogue, but many close escapes, much running and shooting, much dying and quite a bit of violence (though not as extreme and/or explicit as in other zombie flicks). This all makes Era dos Mortos a very straight-forward but also a very blunt film, as it offers literally no variations on its main theme. That said, the film's main saving grace is its short running time (no more than 40 minutes) - and if you ask me, it could just as well have been even shorter -, which means it ends before it outstays its welcome ... so if you like zombie entertainment for its own sake, expect to be entertained, but don't expect to be surprised - and don't expect a masterpiece ...
