I like how it's black and white, but the picture of the family is in color. I really like the symbolism there. ^.^

I like that one little splash of color in the photo she's holding. Β Like her one little bit of hope.

It's quite consistent throughout the stories, the "before" moments are in colour and the "present moment, zombie madness" sequences are mostly greyscale.
