All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
... View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
... View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreIt is not a zombie movie. Not a classic horror film. It has a very deep meaning.The movie has the right atmosphere, gloomy until the very end. The woman - Kim - is nerve-racking, plays very well.The poster's headline is giving us what it is all about: Fear is contagious. The whole movie is about the Fear. The epidemic which cause black-blood, and black-eye is the Fear itself. It is a symbol (when someone is full of fear, he can not see what is real, he is blind, "black-eyed". Also it can show, that almost the entire human population get this "virus". Everyone is afraid of something (death, pain, poverty, powerless, aloneness..). The fear can grow so big, that it can lead the person. And it is very dangerous... It makes people sick, psychotic. As in the movie, Kim gets crazy - believing that she is right! She saw things which were unreal. She is dead, she is not alive, she only exists in her mind. Do you think Ranger Mark was real? Maybe it was her conscience (? wanted to save her?)... Her partner, Mike, was also not "healty".. He wanted to possess the woman, and at the end, he ran to his fate..This movie asks the question: do you want to live your life, and say no to fear(even if it is inside), or do you want to be like a zombie? What is more important than this?So, in my view, this movie is very deep, intelligent work. Thanks. (Sorry for the poor English.)
... View MoreWe've seen it many times before, and we've seen it done a lot better.I'm not a huge fan of zombie apocalypse films to begin with, and 'Dead Within' is just another crap fest to add to the list. The plot is simple, the characters are terrible, the dialogue is beyond awful, and the acting is rather dreadful, too. If you decide to give 'Dead Within' a try, you'll soon realize that there simply isn't anything here worth reviewing - a lot of films are so bad, that you can sit back and toss out a few lines of sarcasm, but 'Dead Within' isn't even capable of accomplishing that.Random Ramblings of a Madman: Just go to bed.
... View MoreRemarkable, the synthesis of film title and invoked emotion. I certainly felt dead within after watching it.The film is set in a shed, features only two characters (four, if you count the brief turn by two others...OK, five if you count the baby...dog makes it six at a stretch) and the action moves outside on only one occasion at the end. To be fair, the visual quality of the film isn't too shabby, but there ain't a lot to look at during the running time.The dialogue is atrocious, the narrative is a recycled zombie-by-numbers riff and the acting is altogether rather dire. There is nil characterisation and therefore nil audience investment in the characters - so what happens to them doesn't matter and therefore tedium is irretrievably cemented early on. The tone is boring as the trajectory of the story (such as it is) is underpinned by verbal and visual repetition. There is a vague plundering of Polanski's "Repulsion" as the chick goes hysterically off her rocker but here imitation is hardly the sincerest form of flattery. Overall it's a dragging shrieking drone into the void.I'll give it credit for being made with next to no money and looking visually better than it probably has any right to - edited on an iMac with a copy of Final Cut Pro, right? But that's as charitable as I'm prepared to be.It may find a casual audience on the back of "The Walking Dead," "World War Z" pop-interest in zombie plague media out there, but there are far better genre examples available and the clued-in will be informed by word of mouth to avoid like...well, like the plague.I can't honestly recommend.
... View MoreHello! Is there anybody out there? There's trollers everywhere outside the house! Do you think I'm a troller? Kim? Kim what's your favourite dress...? Kim are you fat? What if this all like the truman show? Laughs....Is this the script? I think I can come up with a script for this movie just as quickly. The screenplay is abominable. You barely see any zombies at any points. The entire movie takes place inside a cabin. THe actors try hard but the screenplay is poor...can't fault them. Every few minutes there's a jump-scare, with a pounding thud, and the shrieking of a zombie.....it gets so old so fast. THis is a movie to pass on my friend. Every few minutes a dumb jump-scare. A shrieking zombie. It doesn't go into the source of the outbreak barely. It all revolves around the two people and how the girl gradually goes insane from staying in the cabin. The whole movie is really slow, until the absolute last few minutes......boring!
