The Dead Inside
October. 14,2013A bad night out just got a fair bit worse, it's the end of the world! Something terrible has happened, the undead are out in force; roaming the streets and devouring all who get in their way. A group of soldiers, civilians and teenagers take shelter in a local school for protection from the undead hordes outside, but no rescue is coming. Food is running low - morale doubly so, tensions are high and things are looking bad when a stranger arrives outside the gate. Then they get a whole lot worse.

THE DEAD INSIDE is a British indie zombie film with an action-focused storylinte involving a bunch of survivors who find themselves trapped inside a school during a zombie outbreak. It's made on a tiny budget and shot on the streets of Bedford with an amateur cast and the usual overactors playing zombies. The lack of money is painfully apparent throughout with barely any action scenes and never more than a few zombies on the screen at the same time. The acting is quite poor too: the soldiers are supposed to be impassive, but the female cast members don't have the same excuse. When an even cheaper film like ZOMBIE GENOCIDE manages to be endearing, this really should have been better.
I don't usually write reviews but I thought this film was a bit under-appreciated. I came across this film on Amazon prime after some late night flicking through the movies and thought I'd give it a go. If it had of been American I probably would not have thought it was so good as I think English people would enjoy this sort of film more being that it is set in a very English school and village which people from other countries may not think is very flashy but it is quiet real... Until the zombies obviously! The settings, such as in the homes and in the school are what English schools and homes actually look like, which I think makes the film feel more relate-able therefore more scary. The actors are all pretty good as well seeing as how (after a cheeky bit of googling) none of them have really been in much else - yet. So yeah good film well worth a watch.
I've watched this video twice now and it is almost as good as Night of the Living Dead. I might even rate it the same, but I've watched a lot of zombie movies and I'm jaded and critical.The actors were good. There was tension and a few jump in your seat moments. The requisite gore was there. It built empathy for the characters. The dialog was realistic and didn't have me sitting there saying what's wrong with these people like a lot of zombie movies do. It's better than the remake of Dawn of the Dead, so if you like that, you'd like this.I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a good zombie flick.
"The Dead Inside" boasts 'post-Romero packed with punch' on the DVD front cover. You have to look really long and hard for anything even remotely close to what Romero have accomplished with any of his movies. And paying £10.08 for this movie on Amazon is a rip off, because this movie is downright and blatantly bad.Everything in this movie just screams low budget and inferior production. The camera-work was questionable and most of the time downright annoying. I don't pay money to see a movie that is shot by a camera operator with Parkinsons disease. The camera-work in "The Dead Inside" was all over the place.The dialogue was mundane, and delivered without any punch or conviction, which just added fuel to the fire that was characters that had no appeal, no charisma, no dimension and characters that you didn't care about or relate to in any way.As much as I enjoy zombie movies, then the running zombie aspect of the zombie mythology is just wasted on me. Personally, I am more to the staggering, slow zombies that walk with a gait. And zombies should at the very least look like they are deceased individuals, not just people painted with some grey make-up and splashed with fake blood."The Dead Inside" had nothing interesting to offer, nor did it prove interesting in any single way. And as much of a zombie aficionado as I am, then this movie was just a swing and a miss.Don't get suckered and fooled by the somewhat interesting and appealing DVD cover, because it has nothing to do with the actual movie itself. And the zombies in the movie doesn't even look like on the DVD cover at all. The zombies in the movie were just regular people milling about with bad make-up.Stay well clear of "The Dead Inside", because there is very little to be had here...
