The Dead Inside

This movie caught me off guard when looking for a random movie years ago. I watched it and was blown away. The actors are amazing and the plotline jumps from one to another... I also love the musicality in it! It's a hard to find movie but well worth it! Watch it if you get a chance!

I caught this at the Anchorage International Film Festival. I went into it not knowing much about it and in the end was very pleasantly surprised. The acting was good and the story was interesting. After the movie my boyfriend and I were trying to figure out comparisons, however, we came up with nothing. The movie is actually quite unique in many aspects. The songs were good although it was sometimes difficult to understand the lyrics, but that may be due to the sound system at the theater. The zombie scenes were hilarious at times, sad at others, and was an interesting way of connecting the two stories going on within the movie itself. Overall, a very romantic, funny and sad film.

I absolutely love this film so much. I actually watched it four times in one night once it has a completely unique plot with absolutely lovely music that is very captivating and fun to watch and hear. The actors which basically there's only two actors in this film more fantastic especially the woman. This is probably my favorite film all time for those I didn't like it they probably don't understand it. It is a complex and unique storyline, but the more you watch it the more you pick up on subtle details and hidden gems in the background. The more you watch it and the more you hear these songs and analyze it the more little nuggets you will pick out. If you like this movie, you may also wanna check out a movie called Low from the same Director. Both of these films were absolutely fantastic with absolutely tragic endings.

Money makes movies says Hollywood. Sure it helps to have a shipload of cash but money makes nothing. Creative people with ideas make movies. And in this case there is about a creative idea a minute. You think you are watching a funny movie it twists left to horror, twists right again to make it a musical to take another turn to make it highly philosophical to go back to classical drama.... and never is it out of place. How weird is that? Just two people experiencing the end of the world as they know it.

Granted it is not everybody's cup of tea. So if you want a Hollywood blockbuster with a standard story you most definitely will be disappointed. The special makeup is pretty good but no limbs will be flying in this movie.

This is what history will be calling 'a classic cult movie on par with Rocky Horror'.

I have to say I wanted to love this film soooooo much. Great acting, great story, great idea but I just hate musicals period!!!! I even hated West Side Story which should tell you that me giving this film a 5/10 is amazing. I loved everything about this film until that dam singing would pop up. The only time singing worked for me in a movie was when Joe Bob Briggs did the audio commentary about the Incred Strange Creatures who stopped liv......but that was from the early 60's and this is now. This movie just rocks in every department but I cannot recommend due to the musical numbers abound and I mean jaw dropping numbers. Only for the crowd that really appreciates the esoteric.
