Fun zombie splatter movie from Brazil

In this movie people living on the edge of the mangrove swamp find their food becoming scarce and venture into a dangerous part of the swamp. This sets in motion an entertaining zombie bloodbath with plenty of splatter effects and proper groaning moaning shambling zombies.

I have to mention the soundtrack which keeps up a great beat during the action and is nice and eerie when they're in the swamp at night. It definitely adds something to the movie.

On the downside there are two old people in this movie who seem to be played by younger people with unconvincing latex masks which is a bit odd. One of them (the old lady) has a very annoying voice and much too much screen time. Other than that I liked the characters, mainly because they do a pretty convincing job of looking terrified. Especially the older fisherman, his sheer terror at being trapped in close quarters with the living dead is totally believable and funny to watch.
