The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

The Dead (2011)

Starring: Rob Freeman, Prince David Oseia
Director: Howard J. Ford, Jonathan Ford

Premise:
A plane crashes off the coast of a war torn African country. One man survives and takes to the land, which is full of zombies. He meets a soldier who deserted the army to search for his son. The two men combine forces to try and survive.

My Take:
The story isn't reinventing anything with zombie lore. Men are trying to survive and find their families. But it's well done and so are the special effects.
And since the movie was shot in Africa it makes new social questions and has amazing scenery.

Rating: So Good
