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.

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 … more

A successful and very gory zombie road movie for all die-hard zombie movie buffs to enjoy!

*** 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 … more

Felt pretty alive and well to me.

Brian Murphy (Rob Freeman) finds himself stranded in the country after a failed escape attempt. He joins up with an African soldier by the name of Daniel(Prince David Osier), and together they try to survive the zombie horror. -summary Amongst horror fans, I think it can still be agreed that the foreign regions such as Britain, Canada, and even France … more

ZOMBIE SURVIVAL FILM IS ONE OF TEH BETTER ONES

ZOMBIE SURVIVAL FILM IS ONE OF THE 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 … more

THE DEAD: Killing Time on the Dark Continent

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, … more
