Anger of the Dead

Anything that even remotely reeks of zombie, pardon the pun, catches my interest. However, unfortunately, the zombie genre is flooded with countless less than mediocre or low budget attempts. "Age of the Dead" (aka "Anger of the Dead") was no exception.

This movie is unfathomably slow paced and has very little of any interest to offer a genre drowning in sub par additions. Truth be told, it was a struggle to stick with "Age of the Dead" to the end.

The storyline is not particularly appealing and doesn't really throw anything to lure in the audience.

"Age of the Dead" committed the two atrocities in the genre; fast, agile and running zombies, and the Classic error of doing zombie make-up on the face but forgetting about the rest of the body. And when I first saw a female zombie with fairly impressive zombie make-up on the face, but with smooth, non-decayed skin on the arms and shoulders I was just ready to give up on the movie.

The characters in the movie were as about as detailed as a blank sheet of paper. There was no background story, no character development or anything else of any noteworthy thing to make the characters feel real.

"Age of the Dead" failed to impress or leave a lasting impression in any way that hasn't already been failed in other similar low budget movies, and it is not really a movie that you just got to own in your zombie movie collection. There are so many better zombie movies available.

Terrible, bad screen play, weak acting, No clear start, No clues given on how it started, Really cheesy opening. Then flashes of cheesy medical experiments, no clue as to what's going on with them. Terrible ending. I love a good Zombie film but this WTF, reminded me of cheap takeoffof walking dead but with no budget or good actors. The film was all all over the place, creating a confusing storyline. Film camera angles were terrible as well. The side story of the woman held prisoner left a confusing ho;e in the story and the group trying to get to the port were making simple disappointing decisions nobody in an apocalypse like that would make .. TERRIBLE GARBAGE.

Complete garbage. Same horrible special effects and makeup. Acting by most of the actors was terrible. Zombies were ridiculously cheesy. Just another cheap horrible zombie film. Why do people keep making these things the same horrible way? Everyone is trashing this one particular zombie film and these producers thought"hey let's do the exact same thing they did"! Unlikable characters survive together after well it's not clear what happened but now there's zombies and medical experiments on humans. The story jumps back and forth a lot and is easy to get confused as to what is going on.The camera angles were also pretty bad too. Only good thing I can say about this film is the music score was decent.

Anger of the Dead (aka Age of the Dead): This is the full length film inspired by the short but little remains of that apart from the bridge scene. A pregnant woman and two men make there way across the Zombie infested countryside in the hope of reaching a ferry to an island refuge.

In a parallel story-line a woman is kept captive and experimented on by a Walking Dead Governor type who hopes to find a cure for his Zombie wife.

An adult film with some gruesome scenes, even though the worse is implied rather than shown. 6/10

I'll preface this with saying I'll watch mostly anything if there's something I can glean from it, then it's worth it to me spend an hour or so kicking back to an ok zombie film (it's my favorite genre). I have definitely watched worse ones and will do so again.

Same as other reviews - poorly written script with too many plot holes, dialogue/acting was choppy, lack of a strong theme throughout (unless they theme was to show off the writer/director's unconscious hatred for women, then...nailed it!)

It's fine to make a statement about the strong vs. The weak when society breaks down, especially in a post-apocalyptic flick, as most of them do. But really - we get it - and got it about 20 minutes in. Didn't have to push it down our throats every 5 minutes. Your audience is intelligent enough to pick up on what you're trying to lay down.

Was there some other point that could have made? If it was something to do with hope and despair then it didn't quite get there. If it was that there is no point, that didn't resonate either.

If you want to just put something on, then this works, but don't expect anything meaningful. If you are looking for an overarching theme, something that makes you ask a question, spark a conversation, is thought-provoking, a new perspective or spin, entertaining, or something that delivers some purpose at the end, then this film is not for you.
