Not the worst movie I've ever seen

Easily better than the last 10 Adam Sandler movies.

Plus, the guy playing the professor kills!

Pretty Bad

Amazon's description: "Start with throwback horror techniques, mix 2 parts Night of the Living Dead, 1 part Phantasm, & 1 dysfunctional family and you get: Locked Away." Yeah no. This is certainly no Night of the Living Dead, and I don't know where the hell they're getting Phantasm from, because this is NOTHING like that film.

Basically this is a pretty standard low budget zombie flick, generally awful, adds nothing new to the genre, and has no scares to speak of. Weirdly, though, I liked the lead actor, but he's the only decent element in the movie. Otherwise, the dialogue and acting are completely atrocious. I've seen far worse films, though, and if you think you haven't, then you haven't looked hard enough.

NO NO NO

I have NEVER seen a worse film. You won't last 2 minutes into this abomination. Complete and total garbage!

Family Strife...

LOCKED AWAY is a low-low-budget zombie film. For the amount of money spent, it's not bad at all. The zombie makeup ranges from acceptable to very good. The story, about a family's battle against the undead horde, is decent. The strong relationship between the two brothers is the heart of the movie.

Though it does drag in parts, and the acting can be spotty, it's quite watchable. Also, the final conflict is far above that of most similar films, There's also no cartoonish, CGI gore to worry about!

EXTRA CREDIT: For the novel / unorthodox method employed to exterminate the shambling flesh-eaters.

Recommended for lovers of the genre who are looking for something different...
