Beautiful People

Don't waste your time. Terrible movie. Horrible acting and plot

The description for this film makes it sound like a good, solid, zombie movie. In fact, it is barely a movie. It's 40 minutes of sex,and threats of murder followed by 5 minutes of "hey, there's a zombie lab in the basement!" followed by 15 minutes of running from zombies. That's all. No real plot, sad dialog, and terrible zombie makeup. Oh, and the credits are interspersed with a news report of a zombie apocalypse which ends with...never mind, I said no spoilers and besides, you already know what happens.

I love a cheesy zombie movie This is just pathetic. Don't bother.

Even for a movie entitled "dead house" this was worse than expected. I went into this expecting a b-rate typical zombie movie... but this. The very first scene I was like, hmm ok, this movie os going for the twisted thing, this could be fun ala hostel, but that quickly dissipates. Most of the movie is dialogue of one of the bad guys forcing families to say/do things. While gritty at first this gets boring after 20 minutes. The lead-up to the zombies is idiotic. There are SOOO MANY PLOT HOLES in this movie! It feels like it was written by a fifth grader and shot by a couple freshman in college film class for a project over the weekend.

I thought this movie was pretty good. Yes the ending was cut a bit short but at least it tried to explain it when it cut it short. The movie was worth watching none the less .

The cover art (both versions) is really fantastic. Props to the artists on those. In regards to Dead House/Beautiful People you may only like this if you enjoy films like Hostel, Funny Games, or A Serbian Film. The movie works hard to make you feel unpleasant, and for that reason many people will not enjoy it.

Positive notes: Effects were fairly decent. Zombies looked interesting. Practical effects always a plus Acting was acceptable, though a bit hammy (save for the soldiers at the end sounded like voice actors right out of the original Resident Evil)

Negative notes: Despite being advertised and listed on a number of sites as a zombie or monster movie, it is not. At least, not for 90% of the film.
