Lack of good storyline.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A-maz-ing

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

13 Eerie is not Citizen Kane, but then it does not hold itself out to be. The film is a totally decent entry in the ever-expanding zombie genre and features the strikingly alluring and always interesting actress Katherine Isabele (Ginger Snaps) who does not appear to have aged a day in two decades. Surely she would be starring in main stream Hollywood cinema had she the right connections.Writer/Director George Romero pretty well covered and exhausted the zombie concept with Night Of The Living Dead (1968) and Dawn Of The Dead (1978.) There have however, been a few additional movies which have added additional and novel dimensions to the concept, such as Shatter Dead (1994), Les Revenants (2004), and The Vanguard (2008.) 13 Eerie does't break new ground; typical to the genre the theme is the usual evasion, pursuit, and fight for life from and against the undead. But 13 Eerie IS eerie and sinister, unfolding its events against an overcast, dark blue-grey sky, during those late November days in which decaying autumn leaves on wooded hillsides take on that purplish color. It's an isolated landscape of forgotten outbuildings, hex signed old barns, and dead winter trees; a place where every window faces away from the sun.This movie is a first full length release effort from the writer, and on a par with Corman's production of FF Coppola's first try, Dementia (1963). I.E, it shows promise for the filmmakers. 13 Eerie is well produced and technically executed in a professional manner -which is to say, that while it is a modest and unremarkable feel. The acting is decent, the premise is acceptable, and the zombies are as original in appearance as they can be for a niche which has been so exploited. This movie doesn't take itself too seriously, yet avoids the trap of being campy and silly. Enjoy the well-fitted electronic musical score and the plethora of gruesome makeup special effects. The icky, gory sequences are presented with enough originality to make you squirm in your seat as if someone grabbed your hand and dragged your fingernails down a chalkboard.

Gloomy zombie flick that fails to excite or entertain on any level.Even the kills are poorly orchestrated, and it doesn't help that a lot of them are shown in slow motion, which in the case of for instance the series THE WALKING DEAD that could add a bit more dramatic flare to the scene but here it does the exact opposite, it just highlights the fact that it's poorly done instead.I like Brendan Fletcher and Katherine Isabelle but they can't save this dreck, not that they try all that much (Brendan in particular appears to be very little interested in being in the movie).There's really not a whole lot to say about the movie they spend most time in the woods dodging zombies.If that sounds like your cup of tea then by all means take a sip, but just know that it's the cheap stuff with a lot of grainy tea-particles floating about.

People are stupid. Some people are very stupid. Usually, characters in horror films are at least slightly stupid, otherwise they wouldn't constantly get entangled in the mess that fuels the drama. But when the leads are six forensic undergrads who embark on a scientific expedition, you expect a certain degree of sense. Their project takes them to a remote island that was once used as illegal biological testing grounds for life-term prisoners. When we get our first glimpses of what remains of these prisoners, the effects are stomach churning.Also, the Canadian woods used as location used are pleasingly bleak and bathed in winter crispness. To their credit, the undergrads do many things right here; it's just that the walking dead keep on coming. There are many, many zombies in popular entertainment currently, and as is often the case, their ubiquity has reduced their effectiveness. Rather like the found footage genre, there are still effective stories to be told, but you have to search for them.I enjoyed '13 Eerie' a lot. Although it is all played straight, I suspect the effects planners had a great deal of fun conjuring up the imaginative ways in which people/zombies are impaled, stabbed, mangled and injured. The results are joyfully convincing. The ending is especially amusing – when the credits come crashing in, it's hard not to laugh out loud. Intentional horror is rare in these kind of films, and it works very well here.The zombie creatures are very detailed and suitably gruesome, but their torso/body-suits occasionally let them down, betraying a certain bulkiness or fold in the fabric. But they are a force to be reckoned with – they run, snarl and hiss, indicating their infection has given them a certain primal ferocity. On a personal note, I have watched a lot of horror films recently that have struck me as banal and formulaic and it made me wonder if I was becoming over-familiar, or tired of the genre. Luckily for me, an enjoyable experience like '13 Eerie' has restored my faith and enthusiasm.

Six forensic undergrad students agree to a competition that could land one of them in a training position with the FBI. They arrive on a remote island and are suppose to find planted bodies and collect evidence. Unfortunately for them this site was used as a biological testing ground on life-term prisoners. These burnt looking cadavers are among them and very much alive with revenge in mind. The relentless ex-inmates attack and devour a few students in gruesome fashion and they soon come back to life as the undead. What you have in this Canadian production is a semi-clever twist on the Zombie attack film. The isolation is there and the victims are made to fight for their lives. The good news is, Director Lowell Dean builds suspense well and delivers with some inspired and at times gory deaths. Katharine Isabelle is solid in the lead role and some great looking zombies deliver the goods. Fast paced and never boring, 13 Eerie will manage a few good scares and solid Zombie action and mayhem.
