You won't be disappointed!

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

If you like Action, If you like Horror, If you like Vampires, If you like Zombies, If you like Vampire Zombies, then you'll like The Dead Undead.If you only enjoy big budget Zombie/Vampire flicks, then this is NOT the movie for you.The Dead Undead is a low budget Horror flick that is surprisingly good (For shooting this movie on a 1 million dollar budget, they did a pretty good job) When I 1st started watching, I wasn't expecting to like it at all but as it went along, it just got better & better.There was a ton of shooting going on with a few explosions which was pretty awesome.I especially enjoyed the individual stories of how the good vampires came to be (Where was the story of Jack?) It was a nice touch & it added to the movie.I really have no complaints.I would hope there would be at least a sequel because of the way it ended but since this movie was made in 2010 & it's now 2017, I don't see it happening.If I can find it on the cheap I wouldn't mind adding it to my DVD collection.If you get a chance to see The Dead Undead, give it a look.You might be surprised

A group of immunized hippie vampires fight off animalistic zombie-vampire hybrids with the help of a group of human camping teens.If there were an award for worst use of a repetitive metal riff, this movie would clean up, alas there is not. What we get is grade school amateurish action sequences with little care for such trivial details as plot, or acting ability. A partly neat idea just squandered. Awful in nearly every way (and the nearly qualifier is merely feeling sorry for everyone involved in that sad little fiasco. The late legendary Forrest J. Ackerman, even in a cameo, deserves way better than this.My Grade: F

The Dead Undead. What the hell does that mean? Dead is no longer living, and undead means technically dead but reanimated. So does that mean that 'the dead undead' are the undead who have died again? If so, doesn't that mean that they are just dead?Beats me! As it happens, the dumb title isn't the worst thing about this film. It all starts out promisingly enough with a group of young vacationers (three hot babes, two guys) arriving at a strangely deserted motel, the girls immediately opting to get into their bikinis and go swimming, but goes rapidly downhill when the group is attacked by zombies with vampire like traits. It turns out that these are ZVs—zombie vampires—vampires that have turned into zombies after feeding on bovine blood infected with mad cow disease.Hot on the heels of these horror hybrids are a highly trained and well-armed team of 'good' vampires (led by Luke Goss) who hope to deal with the problem before it spirals out of control. Cue lots of repetitive action, plenty of random gunfire, much macho posturing, crap CGI blood, stunt-men leaping from hidden trampolines onto the roofs of cars, dreadful flashbacks to pad out the running time (with two of the most unconvincing Vikings imaginable), truly awful acting, a pointless cameo from Forrest J. Ackerman, and Vernon Wells (of Mad Max 2 fame) passing time between signing autographs at movie conventions.3.5 out of 10, generously rounded up 4 to IMDb.

When will he, will he be famous? If this is the mark Luke Goss has reached then it'll still be a long time coming. Luke plays Jack, the leader of a group of 'good' Vampires … sorry, 'Nightwalkers' as they term themselves, in Anderson and Conna's The Dead Undead. The premise behind the film is that a group of five teenagers go to a remote hotel in the back-end-of-nowhere (although based on the scenery I suspect that it was just outside LA) and are attacked by a number of rather nasty zombie-type creatures. They're saved by Jack and his team who are determined to use every round of ammunition they have within the first five minutes, but remarkably discover they have enough for the rest of the film. Phew, that was lucky. Jack tells the surviving teenagers that the creatures are ZVs. What's that, they ask? Zombie-Vampires, he says. Yeah, really. Jack and his team are trying to wipe out all of the ZVs before they can reach heavily populated areas and cause their condition to spread across the whole country. The film quickly deteriorates into a series of badly orchestrated shoot-'em up scenes which smacks of the producers having a SFX budget that, by God, they were going to use. The humans quickly die off until only Summer (Cameron Goodman, no relation) is left and (surprise, surprise) she forges a relationship with Jack. Summer? Some Buffy reference, perhaps? I guess so, and that's what the tone of the film felt like: it was trying to give nods to so many other genre references that it didn't really have an identity of its own. There are many issues with The Dead Undead; the casual acceptance of the teenagers to their predicament not least amongst them. The characters are so two-dimensional that I swear on a couple of occasions when they turned to the side you couldn't see them. The use of laboured flash-backs to show the audience how the Nightwalkers came to be what they are was sooooooo badly done, the person I had watching the film with me asked if it was supposed to be a comedy. The 'Viking' flash-back reminded me of a poor pastiche of the live role-playing scenes in Role Models, it was so poorly done. Oh, and by the way, the two 'Vikings' were named Ares and Gabrielle – I guess they felt that going all-out and calling the woman Xena was a step too far. And the ending (such as it was) was sign-posted so far off that when it came I was just glad it was all over: Jack believes in a mythical place where the blood of a Nightwalker can be used to bring them back to life – or unlife, I suppose – it wasn't clear which. And quelle surprise one of Jack's buddys turns up to save the day (deus ex machina, anyone?) and he tells Jack that he's found the second parchment which leads to the mythical place. Jack then turns to Summer and asks if she wants to 'go on a trip?' 'Yeah', she says with a big smile, 'we could do that.' Hello! You're friends have all just been horribly killed and mutilated, and you're treating this as a date? Good God, woman. Anyway, cue The Dead Undead part deux. Although why beats the hell out of me. Oh and Luke ... you owe me nothing. Nothing at all.
