The Dead the Damned and the Darkness

If you have bought this film but first went seeing these reviews I am afraid that I have some really bad news for you... this movie is so, so bad, horrible, lousy and heinous that you better throw it rapidly to the dust bin without blinking or even seeing it (undoubtelly a smart decision... believe me!).

Goodies: The zombies looked like clowns and the blood rotted Ketchup.

More goodies: Appalling wardrobe and laid-back/nonthreatening zombies.

Pace: Infinitively slow.

Cast: They were just doing their job for some bucks.

Script review: Flawed from the beginning, clichéd remarks abound everywhere, no credible tension and stupidity all around. A really cheesy B-movie!

Opinion: Don't waste your money or your precious time seeing this utter rubbish. Summing The Dead the Damned and the Darkness it's just three Ds filled with a big S!

Iren Levy made this film watchable. If she had of been killed off in the movie I would have stopped watching at that moment. You could have made the whole movie about her running and hiding from Zombies and somehow fighting off the male survivors. The fact she was playing as a hearing impaired person added to the movie. This was a good idea. Maybe could have been played up even more. Iren has the girl next door look and her personality shines through even in this movie. The other actors were not terrible by any stretch. The old man came across very authentic and likable. The main character and his suit not bad. The metal (or whatever it was made of) crotch cover was not so good. But for a low budget film you can't expect perfection. The helmet though very good and cool looking. Just the type of zombie protection you'd want.

Shouldn't there be a comma in the title? Whatever. Zombies move slowly, so does this film. Zombie films are all much the same. So is this one, mostly. The central character is a soldier, only there is no army left because the entire planet has been taken over by these infernal things; we learn why towards the end. On his travels he picks up a deaf girl, and an older bloke who always looks on the bright side.

Clearly there can be no redemption although there is a happy ending of sorts, and if you watch it all the way through you will be happy to reach the ending.

There is no real plot at such, little in the way of characterisation, but the soundtrack isn't bad, and deserves to be attached to a better film.

When I started watching "The Dead the Damned and the Darkness," I was genuinely intrigued by its promising beginning. The initial scenes set the stage for what I hoped would be an action-packed and thrilling movie. However, as the film progressed, my excitement quickly faded.

I anticipated a lot of action and intense fight sequences, but instead, I found myself watching three characters aimlessly wander around without any real purpose. The lack of a coherent plot and engaging content made the movie feel incredibly monotonous.

Despite its promising start, "The Dead the Damned and the Darkness" ultimately failed to deliver. It was a disappointment, with very little to keep me engaged or entertained. By the end, I was left feeling bored and unsatisfied, wishing for the action and excitement that never came.

...but wow, this is bad.

If you were expecting the high quality acting, script writing and special effects of your average you tube fan fiction garage edited production, you are setting your sights too high.

Horrendously bad scripting in combination with horrible acting. The music could be worse(trying to add a positive) but even that is being kind. Costumes straight out of a Halloween store. Even the actors shambling around in the rubber zombie masks were bad.

I really wanted to find something to like here, even if it was Plan B level like...
