It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

DEAD INSIDE is a slice of indie horror put out by the Troma brand. It turns out to be a straightforward riff on NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, with a bunch of characters getting trapped in a building during the zombie apocalypse. Unfortunately, said characters are idiotic and unlikeable, and the crucial problem is that there's not enough zombie mayhem and barely any zombies in it full stop. Sure, the frequent scenery changes are a nice change from the usual single-location indie flick, and some of the siege bits are okay, but overall this is pretty dull and a far cry from Romero's work.
