Dead Again

Ok, so lets get things right: when judging a movie, especially an underground one, please take the budget in consideration. Clearly this one had perhaps a few thousands ready to spend, but I doubt there was any more.

Thus the final product is weird and divided: a first half consisting in nothing more but dialogue with some humor every now and then, and a second one that transformed into a shooter for some reason. Sure zombie movies are cheap and easy to do, they also threw the abandoned building in the mix, so that saved a lot for location, some cheap blood special effects and that was about all.

Anyway, hard to watch, impossible to recommend, it is a movie that tried to take itself serious and perhaps that was its biggest flaw. It just didn't work out, sorry.

Cheers!

Few guys got together and one of them said "Hey I've got an idea. Let's butcher Sean Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz and World's End all in one go".

This atrocity is the result.

The acting at the beginning was pretty good. I liked the interplay between the retiring officer (Tony Fadil ) and the newby (Elliot Cable) .

The greenhouse gent (Mark Wingett) was a treat of over the top caricature.

The rest... well.. Weird news clips of real political commentary taken out of context, unexplained filters, the sparker of doom.. weird disconnected cuts to various actors for their line.

Overall, it made us laugh a couple times with cheesy lines and low budget filming. Some of the special effects were ok.

Don't think too much about it and just enjoy the gems you can find in it.

I like bad films. I have a huge bad film collection. The best are the ones that rise above the badness. This did not rise, it flatlined.

The entire plot of the film could have played out in a 15 minute short.

They should have had the person who edited the trailer edit the entire film. Even with better editing I'm not sure it could have been saved.

I'd say it was...

80% nothing happening... 10% what?

10% meh.

0% worth it.

Most of the dialog was tedious.

Through the runtime I found myself asking, "Why am I still watching this?"

Still, I continued to watch, hoping for something to happen that would make it all worth it. Then the credits rolled.

Rats.

The two stars are because I liked the two cop characters - mostly - and wish they were in a different, better film.

The intro is too long and boring, real life politician statements are you serious, really? What a disaster, I only watched for 10 minutes and I couldn't take it anymore, waste of my time nothing else!
