Better than "Dead Next Dooor" but Worse than "Dead-Alive"
|
As far as independent zombie flicks go, this one is waaay above par.
But considering the multitude of unwatchable ones....that's not saying much
What made this particular film painfully frustrating, was its potential to be excellent.
The gore was remarkable!! Especially for a no-budget zombie flick!!
(There are 2 gorrific scenes that are off the charts.)
And with any number of nods toward it's influences. (Fulci, Romero, etc.) it should have been the next great independent zombie flick.
But.... cardboard characters and and a stale script
effectively killed any sort of tension the movie should have had.
There was no sense of dread, panic, or hopeless despair.
Which is really peculiar
considering how vicious the zombies in this flick were supposed to be.
In fact, the undead didn't look undead at all!
More like people just running around covered in blood.
The story (or lack there of)
takes a turn for the retarded about 10 minutes before the conclusion,
And the cliffhanger "To Be Continued" ending,
was the most insulting cop-out in recent memory.
Especially when you consider the 75 minute runtime!!
This mountain of shortcomings essentially nullified all the excelllent gore scenes, the films only saving grace.
The final nail in this flicks cinematic coffin was the terribly epileptic camerawork,
which I'm certain was done to make the film appear like it had a higher budget than it actually did.
It was almost like the shutter speed was slowed down, so everything appeared to be unbearably spastic.
(This technique would have been more effective if it was reserved specifically for moments of tension, and not used for the entire film.)
In all honesty, it initially made my eyes hurt.
So much, I considered shutting it off 3 minutes in.
And as unbelievable as it sounds, the cinematography actually had me & my wife sick to our stomachs. (And we sat through Tetsuo!!!!)
Only for serious zombie fans,
No one else need apply.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
The only good zombie,
is the one bleeding from it's neck-stump.
