The Dead Inside

"The Dead Inside" boasts 'post-Romero packed with punch' on the DVD front cover. You have to look really long and hard for anything even remotely close to what Romero have accomplished with any of his movies. And paying £10.08 for this movie on Amazon is a rip off, because this movie is downright and blatantly bad.

Everything in this movie just screams low budget and inferior production. The camera-work was questionable and most of the time downright annoying. I don't pay money to see a movie that is shot by a camera operator with Parkinsons disease. The camera-work in "The Dead Inside" was all over the place.

The dialogue was mundane, and delivered without any punch or conviction, which just added fuel to the fire that was characters that had no appeal, no charisma, no dimension and characters that you didn't care about or relate to in any way.

As much as I enjoy zombie movies, then the running zombie aspect of the zombie mythology is just wasted on me. Personally, I am more to the staggering, slow zombies that walk with a gait. And zombies should at the very least look like they are deceased individuals, not just people painted with some grey make-up and splashed with fake blood.

"The Dead Inside" had nothing interesting to offer, nor did it prove interesting in any single way. And as much of a zombie aficionado as I am, then this movie was just a swing and a miss.

Don't get suckered and fooled by the somewhat interesting and appealing DVD cover, because it has nothing to do with the actual movie itself. And the zombies in the movie doesn't even look like on the DVD cover at all. The zombies in the movie were just regular people milling about with bad make-up.

Stay well clear of "The Dead Inside", because there is very little to be had here...

I've watched this video twice now and it is almost as good as Night of the Living Dead. I might even rate it the same, but I've watched a lot of zombie movies and I'm jaded and critical.

The actors were good. There was tension and a few jump in your seat moments. The requisite gore was there. It built empathy for the characters. The dialog was realistic and didn't have me sitting there saying what's wrong with these people like a lot of zombie movies do. It's better than the remake of Dawn of the Dead, so if you like that, you'd like this.

I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a good zombie flick.

This is not a masterpiece, but definately above the meridian. I was indeed positively surprised.

The script and directing work. For once, the heroes are no rambo's (i am so sick of heroes who can always perform and constantly rise to the challenge) - characters are rather realistic. Apathy, uncertainty and frustration are well depicted. Too many times they forget these.

Rather realistic action, good pacing, solid editing. Characters realistic, and the acting perfomances are ok. Acting perfomances are ok.

The movie promises little, but delivers all. Worth the watch, if u are a friend of zombie fiction.

I don't usually write reviews but I thought this film was a bit under-appreciated. I came across this film on Amazon prime after some late night flicking through the movies and thought I'd give it a go. If it had of been American I probably would not have thought it was so good as I think English people would enjoy this sort of film more being that it is set in a very English school and village which people from other countries may not think is very flashy but it is quiet real... Until the zombies obviously! The settings, such as in the homes and in the school are what English schools and homes actually look like, which I think makes the film feel more relate-able therefore more scary. The actors are all pretty good as well seeing as how (after a cheeky bit of googling) none of them have really been in much else - yet. So yeah good film well worth a watch.

They just kept doing dumb shiat and asking stupid questions. This is the perfect movie if you like cursing at the TV. Not one of these people are likeable so you really can't root for any of them except maybe the leader military guy. You can make a good movie on a low budget, but it has to have people that act like a normal person would.
