I only write reviews of movies with low rating, which actually are not that bad. Give them a chance!

I didn't expect much of this movie, and at the end I realized it is just as I expected - watchable low-budget movie about apocalypse. I like movies about apocalypse and post-apocalypse, so that is the main reason why I watched it. If it was other genre, I would probably quit, but I managed to stay awake till the end.

This is not a great film, it is slow and boring sometimes, but if you like post-apocalyptic movies you might enjoy it. Story is OK, nothing special, but yet different than other similar movies. Acting is fine, too.

5/10

I really enjoyed this film, I was pleasantly surprised.

If you are after gratuitous gore, and amazing special effects, then maybe it's not for you.

The acting is fairly solid, with a few cringe worthy moments, but over all pretty convincing. It's a horror flick done right, I was heavily invested in the characters, and felt anxious when they were faced with dangers.

This is by far one of the better low budget, apocalyptic films made in recent times, beautifully shot, brooding score, and likable characters.

If you liked films like The Road, or Stake land, I think you will enjoy this.

Hey all, Just a quick review here to say, WOW, what an intriguing movie. I seen the review score prior to watching this movie, which did throw me off a bit and as a result I was quite sceptical before watching. However, I have just finished watching this movie and I must say, it is well worth a watch! No 'AAA' Hollywood budget here but credit where credit is due, this movie is worth a watch and more! If you are looking for suspense, horror, intrigue and a well directed script this is the movie for you In my opinion this is definitely a 7.7/10!!!! A severely underrated movie, ignore the low scores give it a view, you will not be disappointed!

UK title - The Living Dead. When my friend lent me this on dvd he did warn me that it was slow & boring. And he wasn't lying! Three survivors of a zombie style apocalypse are holed up in a large, abandoned building. Zero marks for originality. This film focuses more on the relationships & interactions of the three rather than the infected, so is as much a drama as it is horror. Your typical zombie fan will feel somewhat short changed. Acting, production values etc are OK. A short sex scene does liven it up briefly, nice hooters! Overall though, it's a bore and offers nothing new to a sub genre that's been done to death.

This is a very slow-moving, character-based post-apocalypse horror. The pacing isn't as big a problem for me as the sound levels. The dialogue in the first half of this film is frequently inaudible buried, as it is, under the atmospheric mood music - the second half is fine and infinitely more enjoyable.

The direction, locations and acting from the small cast is impossible to fault. When incidents do occur, they are well staged and brutal - they are just very few and far between.

'The Living Dead' won't be for everyone - even less will stick with it due to the early sound issues, and that's a real shame. My score is 7 out of 10.
