The Living Dead is one of those blends of genre that probably sounded really cool when it was pitched. We are going to take a group of thieves, have them attempt a heist in an Undead infested estate, and see if they can survive.
What could be cooler than a heist movie with Zombies? It is interesting to not that this movie came out a year before Army of the Dead and Army of Thieves. Clearly that extra year of thought (and much higher budgets) paid off for the “Army of” movies.
This isn’t your standard Zombie Movie. It is quirky and at times hard to follow exactly what the writers were going for.
The Living Dead Scoring
Trust me when I say you can bypass this movie, and thank me for taking a bullet for you in the process. I’m giving The Living Dead an 18/100. It is slow, not a great blend of two genres, and the story and characters overall aren’t well done.
