Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

joancalkins-18345 Just to give you an idea of my investment in Zombie genre movies, 50 years ago in 1968 I saw " Night of the Living Dead" (1968) at a drive-in theatre and I was hooked for life. Few have come close to that classic and most attempts have failed miserably. "The Dead" (2010) and "The Dead 2" (2014), both directed by the Ford Brothers, give zombie ophiles hope that the genre is on the rise. Both are a return to the classics~~~ Slow moving, devil-blue eyes, body parts everywhere; There is no discussion of why, or how, or zombie patient-zero, or antidotes, no attempts at humor, or any of that nonsense. The stories are simple~ Man racing to find their loved ones while battling the Undead. The Ford Brothers have mad skills~~~ excellent casting, visually appealing, understanding that less is more in the dialogue dept; Both movie's endings shared a special "Fordism" by showing the viewer that the protagonist's end is imminent...OR IS IT?

DogFilmCritic Great example of how to make an effective zombie movie,I don't mind the how's and whys of how a zombie epidemic occurs I only care how they unfold the story with this film I thought it was really good, it's the journey of a guy going to point A to point B and the wilderness he has to face in a country unknown to him, what makes this film so intriguing is where it takes place in Africa a continent full of conflicts, were civilization is plagued with war, diseases, poverty, genocide and now with zombies .Making it the worst place to be in earth.Unlike other movies or shows were our protagonists are in there hometown where they can find supplies and food and places to hide, this movie goes the extra mile in a land with high rate of poverty and chronic malnutrition, where government, law and order simply do not exist and warlords rule the land, and people are killed by the dozen every day, where HIV/AIDS and the Ebola virus are everywhere to be found and no medical treatments available, now add hordes of zombies running wild your chances are little to non.An American Air Force Engineer washes up on the shore as the sole survivor and has to find his way to a plane, he encounters a village were your not sure if it was the zombies or guerrilla that destroyed it from there he fixes a car and stars his journey, there's nothing in sight only the landscape of the African flatness and zombies, he encounters an African soldier and the two of them work together to survive, the scenery is breathtaking taking place in sub-Saharan Africa there's little to non-civilization to be found making it a lonely place to be, good part of the movie sets the characters surviving the wilderness more than the zombies, Rob Freeman gives a great performance as Lieutenant Brian Murphy a guy that just wants to go home. You will be surprised as how good this movie is specially to zombie fans this is one of the great ones.

bowmanblue 'The Dead' - a pretty simple title for a pretty simple film. As many have commented, it feels a lot like an early George A Romero zombie movie. It's got no major stars or film-makers attached, so there's a chance you probably haven't heard about it.As far as story goes, there's not much to tell - zombies have risen and are taking over the world (mainly Africa here). The last US-based flight out of the country crashes and the sole survivor - a mercenary - must make his way across Africa in the hope of escape.Since 'Dawn of the Dead' (remake 2004), '28 Days Later' and, most recently, 'World War Z,' we've been spoiled for zombie movies - all of which are big budget, fast-moving action affairs with big-budget effects and set pieces. The Dead is not one of these. It's been made on a shoestring budget, so don't expect much in the way of action.Personally, I really enjoyed it, but, judging by the other reviews, opinions are divided. It's lack of action does make it 'slow.' If you don't like 'shuffler' zombies and no real shoot-outs, then you may not go for this. Plus there are only two major characters (and they're the 'strong and silent' military types), so don't expect too much in the way of dialogue from them.Then there's the scenery, or rather the setting. The deserts and villages of Africa make a welcome change to the usual American/British towns and cities normally featured in zombie films.If you can stomach another zombie movie among so many and you don't mind a slow-moving (and beautifully-shot) one, then you might like to give this one a go.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

Scott LeBrun You definitely see plenty of the title characters in this outstanding horror film from Howard and Jonathan Ford. As numerous other reviews attest, this is a refreshing return to the days of the classic zombie film: the zombies themselves are slow and awkward yet still undeniably deadly if they catch up to you. They're proliferating in war torn Africa, where an American Air Force lieutenant, Brian Murphy (Rob Freeman) has survived a plane crash off the coast. Just when it looks like his ticket is about to be punched, he meets up with another survivor, Daniel Dembele (Prince David Oseia), who saves his life. Daniel is a sergeant from a local tribe in search of his son, who's managed to escape the onslaught. And the relationship between these two young men from different cultures forms the basis for the balance of "The Dead". It's nice to see a film like this that maintains a careful balance of both very human moments and the traditional bloody carnage that zombie fans demand. And there is a respectable amount of gore to enjoy. There is some political commentary on hand, but the Ford brothers never beat the audience over the head with it or allow it to overwhelm the story or the central dilemma facing two men who over the course of their journey develop great respect for each other. In fact, a substantial portion of the running time is devoted to what is essentially a two character drama. And the two main characters receive very efficient, low key, and believable performances. Oseia in particular has a commanding presence. Filmed on location in Burkina Faso and Ghana, there's a rich amount of incredible scenery, all impressively photographed by Jonathan Ford. The music score by Imran Ahmad is full of flavour and perfectly reflects the emotions of each scene. Particularly effective is the way that the Fords combine some jump scares with some wonderful, traditional moments of suspense. There's one moment where we know a jump scare is coming, yet when it happens it still works. There's also little in the way of exposition, or preamble; the filmmakers know how to begin this with a bang, and establish a tone that is grim yet not without a glimmer of hope. And that's the real joy of watching something like this: the way that it combines action, violence, and drama into a stimulating whole. Recommended for any lover of zombie cinema. Nine out of 10.
