Finally, After Some Years...A Really Good Zombie Survival Horror Epic!
The past few years, American zombie horror movies have since fallen into the area of mediocrity. Even the recent fan favorite “Zombieland” wasn’t all that great. Even the proclaimed zombie maestro George Romero (watch me get hate mail for this) have fallen with his “Survival of the Dead”. I looked into the pages of comic books and found the excellent zombie epic “The Walking Dead” but there really wasn’t that much in the way of cinema until the French …

*** out of ****    "The Dead" possesses all the bare essentials of a zombie movie. That shouldn't be enough for it to succeed, yet here we are; with a respectable and well-made horror film with part-time elements of a road movie. Howard and Jonathan Ford (credited as The Ford Brothers) direct this familiar and not-so-original but nevertheless exciting take on the genre of the undead, demonstrating that they can uphold the task of making a few movies in one. Their film would not …

Set in Africa, a zombie outbreak has taken form and the population is being wiped out. An American soldier by the name of Lt.

ZOMBIE SURVIVAL FILM IS ONE OF TEH BETTER ONES
      THE DEAD      Zombie movies seem to be coming out like crazy over the last couple of years. And with the success of "The Walking Dead" on AMC I am sure they will continue to come out. For me personally I love it and if this film is a sign of things to come then thank you "Walking Dead". I say that because it seems like more serious zombie films are being made. Don't get me wrong I like most of the horrible ones but I love the …

   With the success of AMC’s recent outing with a serialized zombie drama (“The Walking Dead”), there’s been a chorus of folks – critics, mostly – crowing about how interest in stories involving zombies comes and goes over the years.  I think that’s incorrect.  I, on the other hand, maintain that there’s always been an interest in zombie pictures.  Why?  Because zombies are the perfect ‘scare’ for average folks, …

This is not really a horror movie per say as it is much more a survival film and a really good one at that. I have to give credit to writer/director Ford Brothers for going with the less is more type of thinking here. Of course budget may have dictated that but still.
