The contrast of then and now is effective, with their memories full of bright colors and cheerful smiles, only to be replaced with dark lighting, moody outlook, which shows the sadness and evolution of the character. The acting is also crucial, and impressive, with our main character portraying real heartbreak at losing her girlfriend after just five weeks, which we know to teenagers can seem like forever. The sadness and realness of this emotion makes this story stand out and work so well.

As she talks about the things that make her happy and how Molly transformed as a zombie, we are effectively able to have compassion for her and to relate to that feeling of loss. The language in the letter moves the story along perfectly and it is completely believable, while still cleverly using falsified world.
It focuses on emotion giving this story and tone an absolutely unique feel, with an incredibly engaging execution. It also sets the tone of a romance story rather than just the sheer horror of living in a zombie plague. The narration through the letter works really well in this film as the character recalls how she and Molly fell in love and how it all went wrong. The story is told through the letter and various flashbacks detailing the story of how the two girls fell in love during the plague and how they were separated – only for Molly to return as a zombie. Our lead character is protected against this as she has received a cure. The film opens with an unexpected upbeat song and images of zombies, as a teenage girl starts a letter to her former girlfriend, during a zombie plague. This short film takes a new, completely unique look at the zombie genre, prioritizing tone and character over what would often be considered the more traditional zombie tale.
