Dead Shack

This film is much better than it has any right to be and that all comes from writing and characterisation. They clearly didn't have the budget or time to put together something truly polished, but what they made is pretty much better than many horrors out there today.

The fact that you actually care about the characters and what happens to them is remarkable, and it doesn't have to rely on a crazy villain or nudity to get your attention. The dialogue is immature, but it is meant to be, seeing as how the leads are all adolescents. The only real downside is the pacing and editing as both are a little jarring and detract from the overall quality of the production.

Overall I would definitely recommend this movie to any comedy horror fan. It isn't the most hilarious or gory, but it is smart and clearly the effort was made to produce a unique story, and it works.

Good so close to being great . Loved the humour ! The horror was good but the ending needed a little more work but what made it for me was the actor who played the father he was actually brilliant ! Would of loved to of seen more of him

I did not watch the trailer I just watch the movie so I was surprised. The acting is pretty good along with the special effects and makeup. It was a little slow at the start but I was not bored with this movie. I would definitely recommend you watch this.

Roger takes his two kids, Summer and Colin, and their friend Jason to a vacation cabin in the woods. Summer hates her young stepmom Lisa. The kids take a walk and find a house with disturbing evidence. A woman (Lauren Holly) brings home two douchebags and the kids spy her feeding the two men to her zombie.

Summer and Jason are a little bit adorable. Colin is annoyingly stupid. Stupidity is one of the more annoying tropes in teen characters if they're not funny at it. Roger is also really stupid but at least, he can blame the alcohol. I'm actually with who gets killed. I wouldn't mind if we lose one more specific character. This is a low budget comedy horror indie competently made. It's not horrible but it's not good either.

DEAD SHACK was a random pick that had the sort of honest reviews on IMDB that make me watch a B grade movie on purpose. I didn't know Lauren Holly was in it until her name popped up at the start and she's still got that certain something.

Some parts of the script had very deliberate, very cringe inducing *crickets* moments. Some of the dialogue was so natural you'd swear they were just having a dysfunctional family argument at times. It is also over the top, ridiculous and contains some proper laughs. It's a Zombie flick after all, and it treads the path competently.

Lots of flaws but fun enough for you to forgive them.
