Review: Fubar: Mother Russia
Stalingrad. 1943. One baby. One rifle. Two million zombies. A soviet sniper risks her life to protect something she hasn’t seen in a long time: A perfectly healthy two year old boy who has just stumbled right into the middle of the zombie apocalypse.
Zombies in Stalinist Russia, in one of the worst defeats of the German Army is genius. If you look close enough, there is some degree of authentic appearance in both the zombies, and the few living humans. Honestly you can tell, they wanted to keep Fubar: Mother Russia as authentic to the actual events as possible, with the exclusion of the zombies of course. That focus gives the entire story a sense of history, and realism.
The same sense of realism continues, with the dress of the characters. Even the weapons they use are historically accurate in their drawing. Despite the lack of color,that gives the world and contributes to the odd hopelessness the characters probably feel in the cold Russian winter.
