All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

THE NEON DEAD is an offbeat, low budget comedy horror about a woman whose home has being home to some sinister zombie demons, causing her to call in the services of a couple of paranormal exterminators in order get them exorcised. The original title of this film was INVASION OF THE UNDEAD before the new title, linking it in to THE NEON DEMON.Whichever way you look at it, this is pretty silly and hampered by the non-existent budget. I appreciate that it marks an attempt to do something different but overall the effect is less than the sum of its parts. The film has a distinctive visual style with lots of vivid colour schemes and sepia flashbacks which recall the likes of Lovecraftian fiction. The zombie puppets are quite arresting with their glowing eyes but in the end they are just that, puppets, and the mannered acting is more grating than anything else.
