See, now this is a movie that makes me proud of being a Dane! This is the third zombie movie that I have seen, but the previous two were low budget movies made by amateurs, whereas "Sorgenfri" (aka "What We Become") is a movie of proper budget and with proper acting talents.I am glad that Denmark finally made it to the zombie world map with a movie that actually is worthwhile being remembered for. And director Bo Mikkelsen really managed to secure a good position on the map with his handling of "Sorgenfri".What starts out as a fairly slow-paced movie, actually turned out to be rather interesting and thrilling. So stick with it, even through the slow and semi-dull first third of the movie or so. It is all part of the director's plan to build up the movie. Personally I think it took the movie a bit too long to get up in gear. But once it did, it was worth the wait.A small rural community becomes plagued by a mysterious disease, which seems to spread like a wildfire. With the military moving in and placing the town under heavy quarantine, the citizens become prisoners in their own homes. And during confinement they can only listen to the newsfeeds to get information about the disease that is ravaging their town. However, things are being kept in the dark, but things can't stay buried forever...The story in "Sorgenfri" was a good one, once the movie picked up in pace. And it is a story-driven and character-driven movie, although spiced up with occasional action. There isn't really much gore and zombie effects, come to think of it. But director Bo Mikkelsen managed to more than make up for that with clever storytelling and presentation of the story visually.They had some good actors on the cast list, and I must admit that I was more than surprised to see Troels Lyby in a movie such as this. But he really stepped up and surprised me with his delivery of performance in a zombie movie."Sorgenfri" is a movie well-worth watching if you enjoy zombie movies, and don't mind it not being a movie with a standard English audio. "Sorgenfri" was a surprise to me, and I am glad that I happened to find it and got a chance to watch it.Hopefully there will be a sequel to it, because it does leave the audience with a sense of something more is to come.

Seriously, how can anyone be into this, calling it better, original, a nice surprise? It has the same moves, gestures, look like any other zombie movie done with a smaller budget.I got bored out of my mind waiting for something to happen, hoping for a twist, a better ending, anything that would remotely make me feel better about spending time in front of What We Become, but nothing came. The movie is as predictable as possible, from head to toes, bringing nothing new whatsoever, and don't tell me it focuses more on the reactions of the people and not so much on zombies, cause I've seen that too, and way better also.I won't recommend this one, tho I usually like the non Hollywood productions, as I find them bold, cruel and raw. But here I kinda knew nothing would develop and all it takes is around 30 min for you to realize it too. So if you wanna drop an eye on this one, do it at your own peril. Cheers!

By now, you probably know the plot: a family of four is quarantined inside their neighborhood as a mysterious flu-like virus begins to spread. The good: the film is nicely shot and doesn't have the cheapness of a low-budget. The acting was very good and the characters (for the most part), were not stereotypes.The bad: the film isn't really very scary. A lot of the supposed scary scenes were shot in broad daylight in bright sunshine, which really didn't scare me. Though the film wasn't very scary, what really ruined the movie for me was this...Unfortunately, the film was ruined for me by one monumentally stupid decision taken by one of the characters which pretty much set the entire zombie apocalypse in motion.I won't spoil what that decision was or when it happened, but when characters do insanely stupid things in a movie, it really takes me out of the film and ruins it. Had the zombie apocalypse happened in some other way, that would have worked much better.All in all, a decent effort which would have been much better had it not been for the stupidity of one of the main characters.

Don't you get tired of the stereotypes in zombie movies: You can almost immediately tell who's the hero, the main characters take stupid decisions in turn like wandering off, at the end of it it's just a series of slaughters, uh oh another scary zombie?This one escapes those stereotypes.There are no classical heroes. Everyone makes mistakes, are idiots, turn out cowards, or die by "realistic" factors like simply being outnumbered.The main characters generally stay almost calm and don't just wander off one by one. The one exception to do it in panic makes it back alive. The irrational choices are mostly made out of love for family members.It's never just "a series of slaughters", as most kills are entirely unseen, those who are are mostly slightly out of the camera or audible only etc.And best of all, it's not really the zombies that are the antagonists for the better part of the movie. It's the heavily armed and cynical welfare society! Civilians get quarantined and told almost nothing. Those who do not stay inside get shot. With one exception, there are no zombies in the movie for quite some time.Liked it a lot.
