ZOMBIE MOVIES – Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Leave a comment

Night of the Living Dead is the movie that started it all. We all owe George A. Romero our thanks. He started what become a billion dollar industry with less than $120,000 dollar investment in Night of the Living Dead.

Its been several years, actually decades, since I watched Night of the Living Dead, and I was actually surprised how well it holds up to the years. The action starts quickly with Barbra, played by the lovely Judith O’Dea, visiting a cemetery being attacked by one of the dead. Her brother quickly falls to the first zombie, while Barbra flees. A short car crash later and the stage is set for the rest of the movie.

Barbra finds a farmhouse not too far away, where she meets Ben, played by Duane Jones. While Barbra struggles to cope with what is going on, Ben has already come to grips with the fact that the dead are hungry.

The characters are well rounded, and each of them has their own struggle and motivations. In the end, this is really the heart of every zombie movie, how do the survivors deal with the undead, and with each other?

Night of the Living Dead really does an amazing job at showing the conflict inherent in any human interaction, and then how stress magnifies those emotions.

If you haven’t seen Night of the Living Dead, its is a much watch, and scores a 100/100. It is Worth Your Time.

ZOMBIE MOVIES – Rise of the Zombie (2013)

Leave a comment

Rise of the Zombie is a tale about an Indian wildlife photographer who gets kicked out by his girlfriend, and slowly turns into a zombie as he wanders the woods.

While our main character is in the wilderness he gets bitten, and then slowly turns into a zombie. Simple concept, but this is an incredibly slow moving movie, and doesn’t really have a lot going on until the last ten minutes or so.

The acting and filmography was actually good, but couldn’t save Rise of the Zombie from scoring a 9 out of 100, putting it into the un-savable, Just Bad category.

ZOMBIE MOVIES – Last Rites / Gangs Of The Dead(2006)

Leave a comment

Gangs of the Dead was originally released as “Last Rites”. I’m not sure why the changed it, but my suspicion is that they were trying to dodge some less than stellar early reviews?

Gangs of the Dead has some decent zombie attack scenes, but the whole thing just doesn’t quite click. The acting is above average for a low budget zombie movie, but the camera and lighting work makes it hard to watch. There are a lot of washed out scenes and scenes that are too dark to really see what’s happening.

Save Gangs of the Dead for a rainy day, maybe one when you are also drinking a little, as Gangs of the Dead scored a 38/100, putting it at the lower range of Rainy Day Movies.

ZOMBIE MOVIES – It Stains the Sands Red (2016)

Leave a comment

It Stains The Sands Red is not your classic zombie movie, but in a good way. There are no hordes of the undead, for a long portionof the movie there is just Molly, played by Brittany Allen, and Smalls, played by Juan Riedinger.

Molly has survived the initial outbreak, but she’s stranded out in the Nevada desert, a tortured soul being tormented by her past, and by a lone zombie that won’t stop tracking her, relentlessly following her as she struggles to survive.

The move answers a lot of questions you have thought about, but felt it was too weird to bring up. Will women have a lower survival rate based on having a menstrual cycle? The logical answer would be yes, and the writers of It Stains The Sands Red clearly agree.

Brittany Allen does an awesome job holding this movie together. There aren’t really that many characters, so she is the cameras only focus for long stretches of the movie, and yet it works.

After surviving Smalls, escaped convicts, and deciding not to get on a plane that has been repaired by drug addicts, she heads back into the populated world to rescue Chase, her young family member.

Overall, It Stains The Sands Red was a well done zombie movie taking a different approach that worked well for it. It Stains The Sands Red earned itself an 79/100, making it Worth Your Time.

ZOMBIE MOVIES – Day of the Dead 2: Contagium (2005)

Leave a comment

The fact that they could put Day of The Dead in the title of this movie is a travesty and an insult to the original Day of the Dead franchise.

Day of the Dead 2: Contagium has a thin plot, but one the writers/directors got really stock on. In the 60s zombie virus broke out at a Pennsylvania Hospital. Forty years later, the hospital is now a psyche unit with a wide variety of young adults in various mental states.

We are almost forty-five minutes in before the residents of the hospital open the thermos full of the old zombie virus and we get some kind of biting action.

What I would think of as a zombie movie doesn’t really get started until around the hour and ten minute mark, and that is just too long to wait. We didn’t need all the psyche hospital drama that lead up to the story at that point. Because of the long delay and strange focus on the mental disease part of this. Overall I’m giving Day of the Dead 2: Contagium a 26/100, earning this a “Just Bad” rating.

If you want to skip a lot of the needless story and just see some zombie gore, skip to the 1 hour, 10 minute mark.

ZOMBIE MOVIES – The Evil Dead (1981)

Leave a comment

The Evil Dead should be mandatory for everyone who loves zombie movies. If your an old b*stard like myself you will also get a kick out of seeing Bruce Campbell’s baby face. It’s been a decade or two since I last watched this classic, and I was honestly a little worried it wouldn’t hold up to the memories.

Thankfully, it holds up well for a movie that is almost forty years old. If you can’t enjoy a classic movie that isn’t remastered in ultra 4K, this may not be for you, but as a classic, you have to appreciate what this is, and that it was made in an age when special effects weren’t all CGI, and they still used actual film to record.

A group of friends have headed up into the mountains for a weekend getaway. The music and ambiance builds until Ash, played by the lovable Bruce Campbell, finds a book in the basement of the cabin, as well a recording made by the cabin’s original owner.

Sure, if you want to argue about demons versus zombies, we could, but as far as I’m concerned, once your dead, and you start biting people, that qualifies the monsters as zombies.

Overall, I can’t give this a 100/100, even though part of me wants to, as I feel I need to score it based on today’s standards, but even then, it scores an 80/100, which puts it well into the “Worth Your Time” category.

ZOMBIE MOVIES – American Zombieland (2020)

Leave a comment

Apparently American Zombieland was originally titled Fat Ass Zombies, I can’t imagine why they changed it.

The movie starts off with a cute teacher supporting her boyfriend who wants to be a zombie film maker. Unfortunately, the exciting news that his movie was picked up, isn’t’ quite true.

The first twenty minutes are actually pretty depressing.

We then get to see our first zombie, who also has nasty gas, which leads to the beginning of the outbreak.

This feels like someone watched Zombieland, drank like a fish, maybe smoked something not legal in every state, and wrote a script that is supposed to be funny, but just never quite gets there.

There are a lot of scenes that might have looked funny on paper, but somehow they just don’t work.

If it is a rainy day, and you have nothing left to watch, put American Zombieland on, but save it for a rainy day when you have nothing left to do, as it scored barely into “Rainy Day Movie” territory with a 36/100.

Sam, played by Samantha Walker, you were one of the few bright spots in this movie, so if your reading this, you are one of the reasons this wasn’t a total bomb.

ZOMBIE MOVIES – Life After Beth (2014)

Leave a comment

Life After Beth has an all star cast. For a silly zombie movie, this had an amazing number of big stars in it. Everyone from Paul Reiser, Aubrey Plaza, to John C. Reilly and Matthew Gray Gubler from Criminal Minds.

The plot is fairly straight forward. Beth dies, and Zach, played by Dane DeHaan is deeply depressed. He desperately misses his girlfriend. At the peak of his grief, she mysteriously returns – but Zombie Beth is slowly getting more erratic and violence, and she’s not the only one.

There are a couple of scenes that were funny…

and a few that were touching, but in the end there is a bit of a mixed message. Is this a romantic comedy? Is this a zombie apocalypse movie? It kind of switches three quarters of the way through the movie.

I’d save this movie for a Rainy Day, as it scored a 59/100.

ZOMBIE MOVIES – Red DayS (2016)

Leave a comment

Red Days is a budget apocalypse movie that takes place in a war torn America where apparently the states have been taken over by multiple different factions after some form of nuclear exchange.

Zombie exist, and after another nuclear exchange, things get even worse.

The acting isn’t horrible, but some of the dialogue is just really bad. One of the few scenes that made me smirk was after the African American couple’s wife gets bit and dies, her unborn child comes out as a zombie child.

Zombie Baby Vomit

At first the dad is like, no, we can save my zombie baby, until he realizes the baby isn’t his based on skin color, then he’s like, okay, kill it. I’m not really doing it justice, but this is really the only reason this movie got 7/100. Otherwise it would have scored a bit lower, like a 1 or 2.

Three quarters of the way through the movie, the main characters daughter returns – as a vampire. It did not improve the movie.

ZOMBIE MOVIES – Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016)

Leave a comment

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter starts just after the end of Retribution, but skipped the part I was really looking forward to. At the end of Retribution we see Alice at the whitehouse, surrounded by T Virus zombies, but when The Final Chapter starts, the fight is already over, and everyone is dead, well, everyone but Alice.

Instead of seeing that epic battle, Alice is given one last directive from the Red Queen. If she can get back to Raccoon City and release the T Virus antidote, everything that has been infected will die.

There are a series of awesome zombie horde fights, but then the movie falls back into the “Big Bad Guy” versus small group of heroes, and there honestly weren’t any more good zombie scenes at that point.

I was really hoping to see more zombie hordes, and the few brief scenes I did get left me wanting more, which hurt The Final Chapter’s score. There were some good fight scenes, but the lack of wide spread zombies really hurt this movie for me, which scored a 60/100.
