Dead Men Walking Trailers

A viral outbreak turns those who are infected into the walking dead. Soon, the undead are contained, being kept in a maximum security prison. However, those who contained the undead are also trapped in this zombie-infested prison. Their only hope is to escape; but once you're inside this prison, there's really no way of getting out safely.

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
lastliberal I wouldn't either if I was laying on top of Bernadette Perez. There just wasn't anything going on that was more important at the time. I can't wait to see her again in Werewolf in a Women's Prison.But you are not here for that. What about the movie? It seems to be a remake of Dawn of the Dead/Night of the Living Dead, except this time in a prison, where they hid someone who was infected. The whole prison goes down, including the favorites. Now, that is just a crying shame, as you have to root for Perez, Bay Bruner, and the cat-burglar. No tears for the dude who's "top of the food chain."Maximum vomiting and entrails all over the place. If you like blood, you'll love this one.
rust37 For me the movie went down the drain pretty fast after and due to the lack of scriptwriting talents few obviously infected convicts were forced to the canteen, so the hell surely broke loose. Nevertheless the idea of zombie epidemic in a high-security prison was still interesting to follow.Apart from the script, the camera, most of the acting and especially sound work were killing the concept frame by frame. Ten repetitions of guts being pulled out of the bodies... Constant green toning of the picture, why?.. Gunshots poorly synchronized with video.. I don't know what was making me follow - I guess it was the concept itself again.But somewhere in middle of this bad taste pride parade I was brought back to life by one totally brilliant scene. It was a shotgun slaughter with classic piano concert in the back (something from Tchaikovsky's "Seasons", I guess). It was so perfect match of time, picture and sound, although this trick is not a novelty (check e.g. The Silence of the Lambs). So while making your mind please take into account that I added one extra star for Thaikovsky.
perkin2000 Dead Men Walking...Nope, not the Sean Penn film where he plays a killer with hair so fantastic it deserved it's own billing, but a play on the prison term used when someone walks the 'Green Mile'. (Oh gosh, I watch too many films). Y'see, after a 'bio-toxin' (YAWN!) infects a guy who gets sent down, he unintentionally spreads it, and before you know it, the whole place is crammed with zombies in denim. I speak as someone who had a passion for zombie films a long time before 28 days later and Dawn Of The Dead 04 re-fired the collective film going interest in them, but for fuggs sake, it's getting a little tedious now. It seems that everyone with a camcorder and a pot of latex is trying to make their own un-dead classic. Me included. Bugger. The difference between most of them and this film, is that the script, at times, struggles bravely to throw in the odd good, or believable line. The gore is pretty fun, and the whole thing almost over comes its obvious budgetary restraints to turn into something quite worthy. Well, I liked it.
chucktum This is the worst attempt at film-making I have ever wasted my money to see. Were the directors on crack or not paying attention to what was going on in front of them? They had a great plot and misused any potential. Like the last comment posted I love low budget horror films. But give me a break. It was close to a bad comedy. A repeat of clichés even the "Night Of The Living Dead" ending.(Also used in "The Cabin" I thought that was bad enough) These people topped that and should be embarrassed. Griff Furst or Brick Firestone. They both were listed playing Johnny was the only decent thing in this nightmare. If you could even call It that. The film wasn't even entertaining. I went to the last scene Just to make it go away. Then a friend came over and wanted to see it. Well He now thinks I have lost my taste in picking movies, Sorry Robert.
