4.0 out of 5 stars Lighten up! It is what it is!, October 31, 2008

Too harsh! Almost all the reviews I've read on this flick have been bad- not true! It is low-budget, yes. It is gorey and made with little-known actors, yes. BUT it is what it is, and I've seen alot worse. I stumbled on this at the local Blockbuster and watched it Halloween night. I thought it was entertaining, and no I'm not a punky teenager, I'm a 43 year old woman who enjoys the heck outa a good zombie film.

2.0 out of 5 stars promising opening that quickly fizzles and dies, October 8, 2006

This review is from: Dead Men Walking (DVD)

In the first two minutes we get four zombies dispatched via shotgun including one great headshot. The sole survivor is charged with the four murders and is sent to a maximum security prison where the infection spreads throughout the prison population. Sounds like all the ingredients for an all out zombie slaughterfest...right? Sadly, this movie loses all its momentum just as the opening credits stop rolling.

Once we get to the prison the action is bogged down with an innane storyline and a poorly executed attempt at character developement. As the infection spreads, we get shots of guards shooting, interspersed with shots of zombie advancement, interspersed with shots of guards shooting, interspersed with shots of zombie advanement...and so it goes until the end of the movie. Are the guards even hitting anything???

The final shot is the only other worthwhile scene in this movie. I won't say what happens, but once you've wasted an hour and a half of your life to get here, it seems like a pretty poor trade.

The opening sequence proves that these people had the ability to create decent special effects on a B-movie budget. However, it is also painfully obvious that this budget ran out too early in production to create a satisfying end product. There are several necessary scenes missing entirely, leaving only black screen to let the viewer know that something should be there but isn't.

This isn't the worst zombie movie out there (see Zombie Night), but it is also quite far from good. If the producers had wasted less effort and money on the plot and characters (that never really work anyway), then they might have succeeded in the action which is what most people are watching this for in the first place.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Effort Anyway, January 5, 2006

This review is from: Dead Men Walking (DVD)

This movie wasn't too bad. Stiff acting, but most B or make that most horror fils have that. The ore fx were good. It had the classic ripping out of the gguts several times. The only effects that sucked were the gun effects. This kind of surprised me, but with the budget they probably didn't have the money for blanks. Definatly worth renting or maybe even picking up if you run across it used and cheap.
