Too much of everything
... View MoreReally Surprised!
... View MoreAn absolute waste of money
... View MoreA lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
... View MoreI Must say that Porto Dos Mortos / Beyond the Grave its a hell of a ride , its a constant moving puzzle in your hands to unveil what its all about. It has such great acting , cast and crew amazing. Amazing shots , landscapes. A method that its not used in horror or cinema nowadays that is to keep you glued to the screen till you finally see the credits rolling by a way to discover in such elegant and simple ways , what its going on in this Apocalypse and the rise of the undead with a stunning performance of Rafael tombini * The police officer. Davi de Oliveira Pinheiro The director so as the writer of this masterpiece , keeps me proud of being Latin American and that there is still hope to Do Amazing Things in Cinema. The taints of spaghetti western but with the twist of putting it out in like our actual times its awesome. And the fact that there are not so much stuff to defend yourself from the undead , or who knows ..... you better find out for yourself. Enjoyed every Last Minute of it and i bow to this movie. For having its own solid Character in a genre that was long lost.
... View MoreFirst heard of it in 2008 when was promised as "the first Brazilian zombie movie"... In that time there were many reports about it, much hype was created.And then came the waiting and reports (when happened) that lead to more disappointments, as some of the story was unveiled... Then came not one or two, but many zombie films set in Brazil...This one became so boring, it doesn't make any sense, most of the acting is bad and the zombies, when show up, are just plain stupid.I've only seen it this year (2013) and I was Very disappointed by it, and a little embarrassed as they are so pretentious to show it up outside of Brazil first... and fail... I hope they never make a movie again...
... View MoreI read that this was a "perfect late night crowd pleaser" when it was shown as part of a local film festival. So off I trotted to my local emporium, expecting something interesting, quirky, weird, that kind of thing. I wish I hadn't have bothered. This was properly dreadful.I really can't even begin to deconstruct how bad this was - the person who introduced the movie said it was a "Brazilian Grindhouse" - well, the only exploitation going on here was in the £8.50 they took off the audience, all 10 or so of us. Nothing really happens, there are a couple of laughable zombies, there's some half-arsed story-line that plods along disjointedly, it was dull dull dull.This should be put IN a grave, let alone beyond one. Avoid at all costs, useless tedious tosh essentially.
... View MoreIt's a strong and surprising little gem from Brazil, directed by Davi de Oliveira Pinheiro. In a unnamed land, unnamed characters struggle for their lives. Great locations, nice acting, wonderful sound and special effects made an oppressive and dreamy atmosphere for the officer's hunt for the magical serial killer. It's amazing how all the genres could be mixed so nicely and in so many reflexive, almost lyrical ways: drama, black magic, zombies, adventure, crime, western... It's all there! I'll not spoil anything. You have to see it. It's an poetical essay of death. Death and sadness. All that you can't expect from the genre cinema these days. Looking forward to new films from the creators of this one.
