RyothChatty ridiculous rating

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Leofwine_draca THE NEON DEAD is an offbeat, low budget comedy horror about a woman whose home has being home to some sinister zombie demons, causing her to call in the services of a couple of paranormal exterminators in order get them exorcised. The original title of this film was INVASION OF THE UNDEAD before the new title, linking it in to THE NEON DEMON.Whichever way you look at it, this is pretty silly and hampered by the non-existent budget. I appreciate that it marks an attempt to do something different but overall the effect is less than the sum of its parts. The film has a distinctive visual style with lots of vivid colour schemes and sepia flashbacks which recall the likes of Lovecraftian fiction. The zombie puppets are quite arresting with their glowing eyes but in the end they are just that, puppets, and the mannered acting is more grating than anything else.
