Dead & Rotting

If not for the terrible acting, this could have been a decent horror movie. But, as it turns out, the actors here destroy this horror movie with, at best, local theater acting. Terrible!! I mean, did you see the great job Shugi did? Oh, and what about Pox, the cat/man, who drinks milk like a cat, but rides a bicycle? Absolutely stupid. And what is the worst part of the movie is when we get to see the old bag witch naked getting into a tub of shit. YUK!! Scenery was pretty though. By the highway sign near the middle of the film, I am guessing this was filmed somewhere around Canton, Ohio. Oh, the soundtrack was awful. You have to see this one to believe it.

I love Full Moon movies a great deal. I've been a fan of Charles Band's works in Empire and then Full Moon since the beginning. I've seen every single one, how could i not be a fan???

I have no idea why a no-budget horror movie like this got released by Full Moon. I honestly enjoy B-movies if they are good. Dead & Rotting was a true pain to sit through until the end. I got the impression this was made for under $10,000 and it looks like it too.

Where to begin? The entire look of the film just does not look ricorrect. I guess this was shot on digital camera, and i despise that cheap look. The acting was another bad thing, almost every performance was atrocious and shallow. Bad acting can work in some instances, however bad acting and a mediocre script will almost always fail. Well there's Troma films, but D&R isn't even similar to their low-budget comedic style. D&R's main problem is a script that is too slow with nothing new or inventive for the genre.

I give Dead & Rotting a 2 stars rating out of a possible 10 stars rating. I've seen worse horror movies before, but not very many.

So I was looking for a decent horror. I see the cover of the film and I say to myself, "this looks promising". I pop the DVD in and watch the first few minutes of truck action. I start to fall asleep already. Not being one to leave something unfinished, I stuck through from No Trespassing to the end.

The premise of the movie was usable, it had great potential. What the director turned it into was a snoozefest of Serta proportions. If you get the chance to see this movie, pass. You'll likely end up sleeping through everything but the little chant they added which was about the only decent thing in the entire film.

The title doesn't lie. The entire script is dead and rotting.

This has to be one of the worst "horror" films i have ever seen...and i've seen hundreds! I could name tons of "B-Horror Films" that are more professional and entertaining than this piece of garbage. First off, the plot is so stupid it's not even funny. Secondly, the acting is pathetic even for a super-low-budget movie. Thirdly, the "Monsters" in the film couldn't even scare a pre-schooler! I'd be more entertained sitting in silence than watching this again. Oh yeah, the film clocks in at 72 minutes in length...and that's 71 minutes too long!

Just posting a slight warning about this Full Moon release to all you zombie movie lovers. Although it somehow doesn't quite reach the depths of awfulness as such stink bombs as Zombie Lake and Oasis of the Zombies, this zero budget videotaped horror effort (shot somewhere in the bowels of rural Ohio) is definitely one to avoid. The story is silly (and full of VERY obvious lapses in logic and general coherence), the photography is terrible, the direction is bland and devoid of imagination and the make-up is pretty average. What's even worse? The acting! What an insultingly untalented group of 'thespians' they gathered up here!
