Beautiful People

This movie lured me in with its rather interesting cover art. And truth be told, I am a sucker for everything zombie. So of course, I had to sit down and watch the 2014 movie titled "Beautiful People" from writer and director Brini Amerigo.

While this is definitely a zombie movie, it was not one of the more astounding or memorable zombie movies. It was watchable, sure, but it was a slow movie, and it took a long, long time before things got interesting. In fact, it took so long that I thought this was just a home intrusion movie.

And when things finally did happen, the movie ended. So that was sort of anti-climatic.

The zombie make-up in the movie was adequate, just a shame that it was only in the last quarter of the movie that things took off and you got to see the zombies. Well, aside from the deformed face, which was so obviously just a latex mask. But hey, it worked out well enough.

The storyline in "Beautiful People" wasn't particularly impressive. And truth be told, it was actually the news footage montage as the movie ended that had the most punch and impact to it.

I am rating "Beautiful People" a four out of ten stars. While it is a zombie movie, it is one that came and went without a moan or a bite.

The cover art (both versions) is really fantastic. Props to the artists on those. In regards to Dead House/Beautiful People you may only like this if you enjoy films like Hostel, Funny Games, or A Serbian Film. The movie works hard to make you feel unpleasant, and for that reason many people will not enjoy it.

Positive notes: Effects were fairly decent. Zombies looked interesting. Practical effects always a plus Acting was acceptable, though a bit hammy (save for the soldiers at the end sounded like voice actors right out of the original Resident Evil)

Negative notes: Despite being advertised and listed on a number of sites as a zombie or monster movie, it is not. At least, not for 90% of the film.

This has got to be the worst movie I have seen pure garbage bad acting story ending just a true waste of my bloody time !

"Who is the real monster?" Beautiful people is a movie I picked up because of the cover. Big mistake. While the monsters, in my opinion, looked pretty cool the movie itself was one of the worst horror movies I've ever seen, and it appears they tried really hard as well. The plot was messy, the characters were confusing and annoying, and I overall hated this movie.

Even for a movie entitled "dead house" this was worse than expected. I went into this expecting a b-rate typical zombie movie... but this. The very first scene I was like, hmm ok, this movie os going for the twisted thing, this could be fun ala hostel, but that quickly dissipates. Most of the movie is dialogue of one of the bad guys forcing families to say/do things. While gritty at first this gets boring after 20 minutes. The lead-up to the zombies is idiotic. There are SOOO MANY PLOT HOLES in this movie! It feels like it was written by a fifth grader and shot by a couple freshman in college film class for a project over the weekend.
