Why so much hype?

Touches You

One of my all time favorites.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

If you like Action, If you like Horror, If you like Vampires, If you like Zombies, If you like Vampire Zombies, then you'll like The Dead Undead.If you only enjoy big budget Zombie/Vampire flicks, then this is NOT the movie for you.The Dead Undead is a low budget Horror flick that is surprisingly good (For shooting this movie on a 1 million dollar budget, they did a pretty good job) When I 1st started watching, I wasn't expecting to like it at all but as it went along, it just got better & better.There was a ton of shooting going on with a few explosions which was pretty awesome.I especially enjoyed the individual stories of how the good vampires came to be (Where was the story of Jack?) It was a nice touch & it added to the movie.I really have no complaints.I would hope there would be at least a sequel because of the way it ended but since this movie was made in 2010 & it's now 2017, I don't see it happening.If I can find it on the cheap I wouldn't mind adding it to my DVD collection.If you get a chance to see The Dead Undead, give it a look.You might be surprised

Curtis, Travis, Summer, Megan, and Shelley arrive at a motel after a long warm drive in crappy truck. They all want to check in and takes showers. Trouble is, there is no management present. After a bit of a wait, they pick out rooms. A child vampire almost lunches on Megan, but the others intervene. Megan freaks out, but a shower and clean clothes fix it. Shelley freaks out over a mouse in her room.Summer watches (peep hole in the door) two vampires duke it out. Travis shoots some zombies. Megan turns after a couple of hours, and Curtis gets mauled by a zombie.A van runs over one of the zombies, then people (perhaps) with guns come out of the van: Jack, Gabriella, Aries, Doc, Viper, and a couple more. They proceed to mow down a couple of dozen zombies. They encounter Lance, who manages to convince them he's not infected."Relax honey, we're the good guys." Comforting words.Zombie-Vampires (ZVs) are explained. They are hard to kill at night, but die in the daylight. The zv are fast, as opposed to traditional zombies.Aries gets a scratch; they let him tag along a while before he turns zombie and they kill him.He and Gabrielle discuss Valhalla. Great, very old vampires. The extended flashback to the meeting of Aries and Gabrielle was amateurish, bloated, stupid. Also, the yellow filter did not make it more interesting, just more repellent.Soon after Gabrielle detonates Aries, the team shoots her until she dies. Who knows when she got infected. Lance finally gets it that the commandos are vampires who are not also zombies. The zombie problem came from vampires switching to cows blood; unfortunately, someone ate a cow with mad cow disease. The flashback to Viper becoming a vampire was also not interesting. The flashback for Doc was just as stupid as well as repulsive. They used the ugly yellow filters again.It was good to see the Doc character die horribly, but not heroically. Vanity films usually suck rocks, and Eddie Conna's effort here is no exception.The ending does not help with any of the film's shortcomings, but it does hint at a sequel.------Scores--------Cinematography: 8/10 Fairly good for film mostly shot at night. The weakest point would be the SFX.Sound: 2/10 Beyond boring and repetitive.Acting: 0/10 Next time, hire some actors.Screenplay: 0/10 Bad dialog. Ridiculous exposition of motivation. Zero characters to care about. Excessive flashbacks to cover the lack of top level plot. Useless cameo by Forrest J. Ackerman.

The only part of this movie that actually had me intrigued was that Aries looked like a younger Ron Jeremy. I absolutely LOVE Zombie movies, so I'm used to most of them being cheesy, but they are fun to watch. This movie however...I can't even say they take the (cheese)cake, because I don't think they deserve a slice at all. The actors were horrible. The script was horrible. The predictable teens,swimsuit, and shower scene took out any points for originality. The fact that this was the one and only zombie movie I found myself falling asleep to over and over is horrible. Gunfire blaring out of my speakers almost non-stop and it actually had me yawning? And the flashbacks were like bad Xena reruns. The big grin I had when I found this at Red Box definitely was me jumping the gun. I'd actually like a refund of my 99 cents just on principal, lol.

Oh what a disappointment. And it started so well.As a lover of Zombie Movies I was really looking forward to this movie. Also Luke Goss is a guilty pleasure to watch based on his work in Bone Dry and of course Hellboy II.It starts of well with 5 young adults arriving at a motel for a vacation. The characters are the usual assortment but the actors portray them with fun and energy, especially Joshua Alba (who was very good in Unrest too). Unfortunately they don't all last long and the cast is replaced by a gang of 'Good vampire commandos' who, with the exception of Goss, CAN NOT ACT! The exploding heads are a laugh, there is plenty of blood and violence but I felt removed whilst watching it. The best zombie movies make you fell as if you a part of the danger, and you care about the characters, and you duck when a zombie jumps out (ala Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead). This movie had me checking my watch to see how long until the end.I have given this movie a 2 out of ten. The first 15 minutes warranted more but after that... well, actually a 2 might have been too generous..
