Art of the Dead

A lot of these reviews are suspicious, not just the positive ones. Two of the 1star reviewers have never rated anything else either. I wonder if this is all a friends vs enemies of the cast/crew. It's not a 1star movie or a 10star movie. I'd rate it a 6. It's entertaining and doesn't go where I expected it to go. Sure, some things could have been done better, but it's still a reasonable watch.

Ok so its a low budget horror so set your sights at the appropriate level and your review skills.

Its actually a fun horror with a lot of humour and a very weird setup. Some of the creatures are actually quite unusual like the snails and the pig creature as well as the setting and many of the scenes are just bizarre which adds to the overall fun of it all.

Yes its bad but actually it has some quite ingenious ideas and settings and I have to admit I found the art itself to be very interesting and unusual which gives it another star alone. The acting is ok and is in tune with the film which does not take itself too seriously; unfortunately some of the reviewers have taken this movie seriously as pure horror which it is not and its tongue in cheek style and over the top gore which is well done. Even the end credits show the writers have a sense of humour - I know once the film is over most people just get up and leave but I always stay with my bruvv to the very end and glad I did as the credits were as funny as the film with all 30 of the snails getting a credit as "speedy" and many others get wacky credits - see if you can spot em all - it almost gets an extra star for that but the overall fun of it all lets me give it a well deserved average 5/10.

Nothing about this movie is good. It's an insult this has an 8.3 right now. The horrible acting really compliments just how boring this is. This is coming from someone who loves awful horror/ horror comedy.

Before I get to the review I have an idea that could perhaps, if not eliminate, greatly reduce all these fake reviews by people involved in the production of the movies they review with "10" 's.

1) All ratings from new accounts do not count towards the sum total until the account is at least 3 months old and the account has rated let's say 500 movies.

2) All reviews are not visible until the account is at least 3 months old and the account has written a minimum of 20 reviews.

These are simply examples of what could be done to remedy this wildly out of control trend on IMDb from members of production wasting our time with their fake reviews and further wasting our time by fooling us.

Why did I write that? Because even though I should have known better, the fake rating of this movie actually fooled me into thinking this was a decent movie. As I write this, there are 126 votes of "10" and 133 votes of "9". And if the 259 people who thought this movie was near perfect or perfect are not somehow involved with the production I will eat my hat.

This movie is simply awful.

Horrible acting from people who should seriously look into other career options as they will end up waiting tables for their rest of their lives and a washed up Tara Reid who at one point in her career actually had some promise but let alcohol and endless bad decisions lead her to these types of movies.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this, it's not even a "so bad it's good" type of movie, it's just dreck.

Might be good if you are high on bath salts! There are adult films that have better acting, which is surprising as there are actually several good actors, all of who were having a bad day? Maybe it was meant to be a film of study - what not to do when making a film. Maybe the actors were blackmailed and forced to do this?

Special effects, lighting, sound and filming was actual decent as far as bad movies go. Not even a B movie or remotely close to being a cult classic. Better luck next time!
