Anger of the Dead

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.

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

As soon as I saw Uwe Boll's name attached in the opening credits as a producer, I knew I was in for another garbage fest. I wasn't wrong. Horrible writing. Horrible dialogue. Horrible acting. Horrible scoring and choices for where score should even GO.

Don't waste your time.

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.

(2015) Anger of the Dead SUSPENSE HORROR

Written and directed by Francesco Picone which opens with an expected mother, Alice (Roberta Sparta) losing her child to one of the already infected zombies after her child opened the door. She then cross paths with a young man, Stephen (Marius Bizau) who saves her by running over a zombie with his vehicle, they would then go on the path in the pursuit of looking for other sane survivors, along with another subplot.

Low production values, second rate acting and unconvincing gore effects, and does not add anything new to the genre of zombie apocalypse.
