Dead Again

I don't know how to describe this movie. It's a new take on zombies. I fell asleep watching it.

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.

In a quiet rural English community, a zombie apocalypse is unleashed and the various locals are forced to deal with it.

It's an English zombie comedy. So my initial thought is Shaun of the Dead and this is nothing like that. It's nowhere near that level. The comedy is rather flat. If it's anything, it's more like the Night of the Living Dead but still not as good. It's really an uninspired indie made by a run-of-the-mill film group. It's a good step above student films but it lacks any aspect which could make this good.

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!

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!
