Deceased

In the ever-expanding genre of zombie apocalypses, "Deceased" emerges as a refreshing and thrilling pilot that captivates from the very first scene. Directed by a promising new talent, this teen-focused series masterfully blends horror, humor, and heartfelt moments, making it a standout entry for both young audiences and seasoned zombie enthusiasts.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world where a mysterious virus has turned a significant portion of the population into flesh-eating zombies, "Deceased" centers around a diverse group of teenagers who navigate the chaos with a mix of bravery and naiveté. The writing is sharp, capturing the essence of adolescence while skillfully layering in the harrowing realities of survival. The characters are well-developed, each possessing unique traits that contribute to the group's dynamic.

One of the pilot's strengths lies in its balance of horror and comedy. The tension of zombie encounters is expertly punctuated by clever one-liners and witty banter among the teens, creating a viewing experience that is both exhilarating and entertaining. The pilot's pacing is commendable, with each scene carefully crafted to build suspense while allowing for character development.

Visually, "Deceased" is stunning. The cinematography captures the desolate beauty of a world ravaged by the apocalypse. The special effects are impressive, with makeup and prosthetics that bring the zombies to life (or death) in a way that is both terrifying and oddly fascinating. The sound design enhances the atmosphere, with eerie background. The stunt scenes are some of the best with amazing action sequences.

This show left me wanting more! Highly recommend!

I'm one of the actresses on Deceased and I love the storyline, the acting and of course the awesome director. The only thing that I would say that needs work is the audio. It's chopped at times with it going up and down. During filming it was hot and lots of loud bugs and because of this we had to do a lot of ADR. Great job by the way and I look forward working with everyone again. I'm not trying to be harsh at all. I want to try and be professional. Everyone should be proud of themselves. The actors, the stunt team, make up, and even the director. Give yourself a pat on the back. See you guys.

A fantastic, fun ride!!! The entire thing is watchable as hell and both terrifying and a lot of fun. The young adult angle of teenagers adjusting to the zombie apocalypse is a nice change of pace from the zombie shows that just focus on the horror. My favorite aspect though is definitely the zombies themselves. So many zombie shows just rehash the same lore of slow, stupid creatures that while terrifying and horrific are easily outsmarted. I Iove how the zombies in DECEASED mimic predatory behaviors and characteristics actually shown in real biology. A VERY creative new take on zombie lore. And the stunts were absolutely incredible. Would love to see a full season of DECEASED. You do yourself a huge disservice if you miss this!!!

Already stunning and brilliantly written, this pilot leaves the viewer desiring more. I deeply hope that this show receives the recognition it deserves so that it can progress into the full length marvel it is clearly meant to be.

Deceased has the perfect blend of all the essentials, and a pace that keeps the viewer highly engaged at all times, awaiting the next turn of the plot. Clearly this pilot possesses a lot of well written characters, who surely deserve their time in the sun so that we may see them fully flourish and come into their full potential.

I highly recommend Deceased, and wish it well into the future.
