Featured reviews
I stumbled upon "3 Hours Till Dead" by random luck. I saw the movie's cover and of course I picked it up and gave it a watch right away. After all, I am a huge fan of all things zombie.
Right, well without having heard anything about the movie, nor knowing about its existence prior to stumbling upon it, then I had little expectations as to what I should expect from the movie.
Sure, this was a low budget production with a clear amateurish touch to it. But that actually worked in favor of the movie, because it helped add to the atmosphere of the movie. It felt like this entire project was established and executed by people with a genuine love in and for the zombie genre.
Storywise, then "3 Hours Till Dead" doesn't move any boundaries. In fact, this was pretty much reminiscent of George A. Romero's classic "Night of the Living Dead", for better or worse.
The special effects in the movie were good. Sure they weren't massive Hollywood blockbuster good, but they served their purposes and for the most parts they were good and came off as being believable. However, one thing stuck out like a sore thumb in my eye, it was when newly turned infected start jumping and running. That just doesn't sit well with me or the zombie lore in general.
As for the acting in the movie, well people were doing good jobs. However I somehow feel that the movie suffered from having Vladimir Zaric in the lead role, because he wasn't the most prominent or outstanding of acting talents that they had in the movie.
All in all, then "3 Hours Till Dead" is good entertainment, just keep in mind that this is a low budget production. But it has the heart with it and the heart is in the right place - until a zombie devours it. So I must say that writer and director Jason Mills actually pulled this movie off quite well.
Acting- terrible Story- terrible Set- OK I guess, can't hate on it too much since it's ripped straight off from Night of the Living Dead
The "Lead" if you wanna call him that is the absolute worst. He can't even talk, he mumbles smh when he does try to talk it sounds like his mouth is full of peanut butter. Have you ever kicked your lower jaw out then tried to talk? You know like making fun of Marlon Brando in the Godfather? Yeah that's this guy only ten times worse.
Not to mention he's a worthless turd. He let's 2 of his friends become human beef jerky and what's worse is the first one he did it to be was trying to save him! Nope, this guy froze up and let his buddy get chomped on, only then does he snap out of it and kill the zombie eating his friend. His friend was pathetic too, he got bit on the shoulder and then somehow couldn't walk after that? The first loser guy is trying to crutch walk him back to the house and this guy can't even manage to barely stay on his feet. Dude, you got bit in the shoulder, what's that got to do with your ability to walk? See the stupidity?
Then they take a tumble and loser number 1 just ends up leaving him there as a group of zombies come rushing at them to let them finish what they started on this guy who was only out there trying to save him to begin with. Picked a crummy friend to try and save.
Then he runs to a car and gets in and a horde of them surround and trap him in it. But don't worry, after awhile and nothing has changed he decides he can just open the door and push them off and get away scott free and squeaky clean. Yep, it's really that bad and stupid.
Then he gets back in the house and calls for one of the girls in the group as he let's a ton of zombies in the house and practically leads them all right to her then just he side tracks her and let's the horde of zombies that he let in the house chomp away on her! That's friend number 2 for those keeping count that he just let the zombies have at em. Yeah real great lead guy.
The movies awful, the acting and actors are more awful and the story line is the worst. Skip it you'll be doing yourself a favor.
Okay we have Zombies who are sloth like and others like they are trying for next Olympics Seriously they sprint to their victims.
So a lot of innocent people die and at the hands of zombies AND some by Human Hands (sad face).
Special effects are very cool and that leads me to the finale Amazing,Was worth the almost 90 minutes before building to this AWEsome end.
