Granny of the Dead

I suspect that viewers in South Wales will get a lot more out of this film than a general audience.

Some of the performances are quite OK and zombie make-up is occasionally pretty good, but the whole thing is very patchy.

The biggest problem is with the structure of the scenes and the editing. I think the director and editor were trying to create the feeling of frenzied panic, but at times it's just a bit too chaotic. Random face close-ups cutting to other random face close-ups. More establishing or medium shots would have made the whole thing "flow" more evenly.

As low budget zombie films go, though, this kept me entertained and amused.

Good effort. Some of the other reviewers should lighten up a bit. This ain't supposed to be Tarkovsky.

"Granny of the Dead" is a lame senseless amateurish garbage with fake reviews in IMDb. The plot does not make any sense and the cinematography and acting is terrible. The IMDb User Rating is overrated, maybe with the use of robots. Advice when most needed is least heeded, but stay away from this flick. My vote is one (awful).

Title (Brazil): Not Available

Badly acted, badly shot, cheap pointless drivel. I can find little to praise in this sorry effort.

I am suspicious about the positive 10 out of 10 reviews.

Granny of the Dead follows a group of teens who wake up one morning to the surprise that the elderly in their town have turned into zombies! Fighting to stay alive, this outlandish humor of this spoof reminds me of Shaun of the Dead. This parody has the pop up scares, gore, and surprises you want to see in a scary movie. It also has the laughs, unique story line, and twists and turns you want to see in a parody. I loved the scary movie group of friends aspect as this film focused on each friend and what they were going through at their own home. The special effects were crazy and unlike anything I've ever seen! I loved this movie and I recommend it to any who wants to see a fresh take on a zombie movie.

I'm a huge zombie movie fan but my interest in the sub-genre is waning. The reason? Too many zombie films being released and far too many of them are dreadful. This welsh effort certainly comes under that category and is a failure on every front.

Unfunny comedy attempts, practically no storyline at all and so poorly made it could be confused for a student film.

The idea of the "Granny" zombies is short lived and quickly descends into yet another low budget zombie film with no identity and nothing to set it apart from the rest.

The Good:

Neat Jurassic Park reference

The Bad:

Those accents!

Terrible camera work

The premise isn't followed through with

I should avoid welsh cinema for a while
