結合活屍類型諷刺視錢如命的資本主義社會,將「愛錢」是種傳染病表現的張力十足。成功地以創意補足小規模製作可能遇到的問題,類型成熟度高,血漿撒好灑滿看了大快人心。

In Taiwan's funeral customs, in the last memorial ceremony for the dead, one does not forget to beg for the wealth of future generations, how ironic it is to not forget to ask for money even after death, and how realistic and selfish the living people's pursuit of money is.

This film uses Taiwan's local cultures and integrates diverse and cross-genre elements, such as zombie films and black humor to create different genres, giving audiences unexpected combinations of genres, presenting a Taiwanese movie that has both local style and genre movie elements. Using different photography styles to present the humorous and entertaining nature of the film, and to present some satire on social phenomena. In this way, not only brings entertainment, but also brings some reflection to the audience.
