The Worst Film Ever

Sorry, this movie sucks

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

"The Dead" is a fairly decent zombie movie — I'd rate it a 7 out of 10. It's a lower-budget feature, and some of the acting is a bit flat, but this is a movie that does a lot with a little. The film wisely makes the most of its African setting, and has an intelligent, if slowly paced, story. It focuses on its two military protagonists' needs for food, sleep, shelter, fuel and vigilance, during the course of a lengthy overland trek. That's refreshing in an era of "Strippers vs. Zombies" (2012), and various fairly lackluster clones of "Shaun of the Dead" (2004).Best of all, however, is the film's skilled manner of evoking "slow burn" or "creeping" horror. The zombies in "The Dead" usually move quite slowly. They might be the slowest zombies I've ever seen. This might be the anti-"28 Days Later" (2002). But that makes the vibe here unique among the spate of modern zombie films — and maybe a little reminiscent of George A Romero's pioneering early films. If you're reaction is like mine, you'll find it a little unnerving to see them gather en masse at a snail's pace.

In my opinion, The Dead was a good zombie movie, and it can reflected the zombie outbreak situation if it did happen in the African regions. The zombies were scattered away and so persistent to eating humans, also difficult to get distracted. But the makeup was the flawed of this movie, it wasn't scary enough. The film overall was good.

i had known about this movie for many months, but never taken the plunge and watched it until now, and i can honestly say i,m glad i did. the story may not move at a fast pace, but it's interesting enough to hold the attentionit has a lot in common with Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, especially in regards to how slow the zombies move. no cgi was used for the zombies, but the gore effects were still pretty goodit may not be nonstop action from start to finish, but the zombies are always a present threat, with our 2 main protagonists always having to keep moving in order to stay ahead of themits also nice to see a zombie movie set somewhere other than America or Britain for a change, namely in Ghana and Burkina Fasoas for the story, an American military engineer attempts to escape the dead by finding a working plane after his original flight crashed, leaving him stranded. he joins forces with an African soldier who deserted his post in order to look for his son, and together they make their way through the countryside, dodging the dead as they go. if you like your zombie movies fast paced, then you probably won't enjoy this as it can be slow at times, but the story alone is enough to keep you watching

I'm a big fan of the horror genre, and the zombies apocalypse ones are among my top favorite. I went to see this movie based on some review that claimed it was a "back to the roots" zombie movie. But man it was a waste of almost two hours of my life, I understand this is a B-Movie, but it isn't enough excuse for the bad and super cheesy acting by the lead character. His acting is as good as the acting in elementary schools plays. painful to watch. but I decided to be the hero and to continue watching hoping for a twist in the plot where that idiot would die and provide a good meal for the slug-slow zombies. That didn't happen... the cheesy idiocy continues to the very freaking end.3 stars goes for an African Mother that acted briefly but brilliantly, I'll let watch this agonizing movie till you find her!
