Art of the Dead

The writing is what spoils this film. The plot, character work and dialogue is extremely poor. The plot is too simple and is expected from the beginning. The characters are stagnant and have no growth. The dialogue is just poor. Writing is a 2.

The acting is better than average and deserves a 6.5. Once again they were not given a lot to work with.

The Director should have made dozens of script changes and failed to do so. I'd give him a 6.

The Cinematography was a 6.5. My advice stop using just one main viewpoint.

In the end it was ok.

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.

Thoughts while watching this film.

• Jessica Morris. I remember her from Bloody Murder. She got even more beautiful.

• Nice to see Tara Reid is getting work.

• Im watching a guy drink from a hose to death. Interesting.

• Two little kids turn into snails. OK
• The unpopular dorky girl looks pretty damn good to me. Could they not find a unattractive girl?

• Its not great but worth the dollar I paid for the DVD.

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!
