Barb (Brianna Brown) and
her brother Johnny (Ken Ward) are late
attending the burial of their Aunt as
they argue along the way but suddenly
Johnny is nearly attacking by people that
are no longer alive. In fact they seem
dead so he speeds away leaving Barb on
her own as she tries to go to a mortuary
in which she encounters zombies eating
other people and the owner there named
Gerald Tovar (Side Haig) tells her to
flee as it's not safe while he himself
tries to control these zombies.
Later on she is rescued by a guy in a
motorbike named Ben (Joshua DesRoches)
whom is a local college student and takes
her a farmhouse by a family named the
Coopers as they aren't prepared for the
worst to come thinking that what they're
talking about is a myth.
Suddenly they are attacked by zombie's
and one of the residents named Owen (Adam
Chambers) has his arm bitten and is
suffering in pain while their little girl
Karen (Alynia Phillips) is missing while
being outside and when they found her she
is not the same at all.
Gerald goes to the farmhouse to wanr the
family on what is all happening but has
an evil dark secret of his own.
The beginning looked a bit off key with Barb and her sibling Johnny while driving their car to the graveyard and then later on we have an attack scene that
involved Barb against some
a mourning zombie which looked totally cheesy.
There's also another moment with a
discussion between her and Gerald Tovar, Jr. telling her to get away along with him
battling a zombie which looked quite
sloppy.
But there's also a good moment with more
zombie's trying to
attack Barb and then a great shot on Ben riding his motorbike in
the mist and punching out a zombie.
A good shot on certain characters
like a child staring outside in her
house window with a zombie cut in half
crawling along the ground towards her and
then a good shot on him leaping at her
which looked nice and horrifying. We also
have a good shot on the farmhouse with
the zombie's walking towards
the house just like in the original Romero flick.
There's a corny conversation between
a couple in a barn
fornicating with one another but it
really starts to get intense with the
zombie's invading the barn
with the boyfriend trying to fight
them off and the girlfriend screaming
running away naked and trying to keep
herself safe in a vehicle along with good
shots on the zombies trying to reach for
her.
We have a nice surprised reaction by Hellie Cooper after spotting a bloodied
floor which looked good with the camera
shots on it.
Good shot on Hellie running
down the stairs looking frightened along
with a
zombie of Karen walking down the stairs
with a perfect close up on her turning
her head and biting Henry Cooper's neck.
There's a great camera shot on Gerald sitting in a chair in a living room
showing guilty reactions with Henry scolding him about what he is doing on
keeping his corpses.
-A good
shot on Owen rising up
behind Ben and ready to
attack.
There's a good argumentative scene
between Ben and Barn
when she tells him about his habit to
earn money as it looked natural. The
setting looked great and dark near a dirt
road and then we have a good shot behind
a tree on a hill with two zombie's
slowly walking towards them along with a good close
up shot on one of the zombies and a nice shot
on Barb covering her hand over
her mouth and looking upset after
discovering her brother resurrected into
a zombie.
We have a scene with Gerald whacking Ben with a shovel which
didn't look believeable.
There's a terrific scene that involved
Gerald and Barb with a zombie father of Gerald's and
acting insane about resurrecting the
dead along with Barb getting vengeful by
ligthing her lighter along with a great
camera shot on the zombie in flames.
A good shot on Gerald outside
throwing a punch towards Barb.
There's a real disturbing moment with Gerald dragging Barb down to a garage
to get her turned into a zombie and he
acts cheerful about it with her freaking
out.
A great shot on the zombie's
attacking Gerald with him
convincing that he brought them back to
life.
There's also another great shot on Gerald at a windshield smashing the window with
insane expressions.
Bottom line is that remakes looked so
much alike as the first remake of this
film was pretty much like the first one
with a different twist during towards the
end but this one however is totally
different. Yes there's the graveyard with
the siblings and then the zombie's start
to attack and one of them hides out in a
farmhouse but however the farmhouse isn't
abandoned and one of the heroes takes her
there for safety.
It's also cool we have someone who is
insane that takes the corpses from the
mortuary and resurrects them so yes
folks, this is a completely different
story alltogether. It's funny showing one
of the people living at the farmhouse
watching the original Romero
flick.
Plus, the dvd comes with 3D glasses but
they don't work perfectly well and it's
not 3D all the way through. I give this film the most original remake
and the same with My Bloody
Valentine. It's corny but in a
fun way and well done too.
The acting is
somewhat descent and somewhat bad too.
Lead actress Brianna Brown (Barb) looked
like that she graduated from modelling
and is now trying to pursue an acting
career showing very little
characteristics and emotions to her part
in it which I'm sure Judith O'Dea
would not be impressed either seeing the
role she portrayed in this one. Her running away from the graveyard and screaming looked cheesily performed and low on energy. She also looked phony when she is sobbing
scared sitting under a tree and leaving a
message to her brother on her cell phone.
Joshua DesRoches (Ben) was so so with his
performance playing the young hero in the
film as he can pull off his aggressions
okay but he's not superb in any way. She really does well by losing it and yelling
at onscreen zombies and then pointing a gun at them
and starts firing.
Greg Travis (Henry Cooper) played a good family man
and had the perfect looks to run a farm
along with some of his good charming
attitude in the film so I found him to be
the best actor in the film.
Sid Haig (Gerald Tovar, Jr.) was another great character
actor usually portraying these crazy type
roles in films showing great expressions
and an insane attitude too. He just pulls
this off in a terrific way.
Adam Chambers (Owen) seems to put humor to
his part but doesn't make his character
believeable by portraying himself as a
pothead. Sorry dude. But in a certain scene he offers a good reaction on after being bitten on the arm reacting in
pain. There's a perfect reaction on him lying on the couch acting sick.
There's a full named male
zombie eating a preacher n the street.
Cristin Michele is bare breasted in
a barn during many takes in a barn and
later on exposes her full naude body from
top to bottom (Excpet in her boots) while
getting up and running away.
We see a half cut
zombie along with other gruesome looking
one's.
There's bloody bite marks
A side of a woman's face in a truck is
scarred
A shovel is stabbed in a zombie's face
Bloody gunshots in the zombie's heads
A person is gutted
Jason Brandt is
marvellous with his music for this film.
There's some good screechy sounds for
certain moments when the zombies attack
as well as hearing the odd thumping
moments too. Plus there's some good low
trombone music too usually occuring when
there's a serious dialogue happening.
There's also some interesting hissing
sounds and low moaning synthesizer
playing too. |
