4.0 out of 5 stars outlandish action mix well with the cross genre antics, June 1, 2006

This review is from: Undead (DVD)

The small Aussie burg of Berkelely receives a deadly rain of meteorites, turning people hit by the celestial stones into the walking dead. It doesn't take long for our main characters to assemble in the obligatory isolated farmhouse to ride out the plague of zombies.

All of our familiar friends are holed up here from the loony cops, spiteful pregnant waitress, her clueless boyfriend, misunderstood beauty queen, and badass fisherman (whose fashion taste takes after Torgo from MANOS, THE HANDS OF FATE). Our sympathies are tied to the multiple-barrel shotgun wielding fisherman Marion (Mungo McKay) and the lovely Rene (Felicity Mason). The pair carves a swath through a seemingly endless supply of reanimated corpses only to find that zombies aren't the full extent of their worries.

Comparing UNDEAD to Australia's other famous zombie film, DEAD ALIVE, is a tempting albeit simplistic temptation. It's true that both films share similarities in their use of the walking dead and barrels of fake blood but what the pair share most is their wicked sense of humour. The excessive gore, kinetic camerawork, and outlandish action mix well with the cross genre antics. Hopefully this wonderfully silly film is a sign of things to come from the Spierig brothers.

UNDEAD is slated for release by Lion's Gate Films while already on DVD in Australia.

5.0 out of 5 stars UNDEAD IS A GREAT HORROR/ ZOMBIE/ BLACK COMEDY, September 19, 2005

This review is from: Undead (DVD)

Undead is an under rated movie out in Ausi as far as i know. I had a chance to see it and I must say,its an awesome movie (if you like the black comedy the makers added in with bloody and more bloody/brains/guts) this movie is for you!! Zombies look really cool (better than the land of the dead) and i really hate to say that but its true!! Undead is no Dawn of the dead 78 or the Dawn of the Dead remake but it does hold its own as a Zombie/Alien film and is gorry,Bloody and lots of guts falling out!! Rottentomatoes rated it kinda bad but i cant see how since its not in the U.S yet.. Look for it maybe on ebay and pick up a copy i see some people selling the ausi release and its well worth it to see...almost 5 star

4.0 out of 5 stars Hugely Entertaining, October 10, 2005

This movie is hugely entertaining and the best homage to Night of the
Living Dead, Bad Taste and The Evil Dead ever made. When strange
weather phenomena occurs in a small Australian town, zombies start
appearing. A small group of people end up in a house to fight them off
but have to fight their way out as one of them needs medical attention.
The rest of the movie is spent on fighting the zombies and revealing
their origin. The gore and blood are plentiful and first rate. The
effects are mostly "real" and cgi is at a minimum. There is comedy
throughout but is more of the dry, Aussie/Brit variety so is not
overwhelming or overly stupid. It made me laugh out loud on mamy
occasions. The dialogue is pretty witty and there are many memorable
and quotable lines. There is also a nice twist towards the end of the
story and a good finish that wraps it up, while still leaving ot open
for a deserved sequel.
