As many of you know, I love zombie flicks esp. those of George Romero. I've been waiting for Land of the Dead to come out, but it hasn't. In the meantime, I watched another zombie flick called Undead . I should have saved my money.
Undead tries to be a comedy which I hate. A zombie flick is like an AC/DC song. It's just meat-and potatoes type entertainment. The basic plot of a zombie flick is that you have a group of people vs. a world gone mad. In addition, they have to follow these rules:
1. Zombies can't run.
2. To kill a zombie, you have to shoot it through the head.
3. Zombies infect you by biting you.
4. Once a zombie, always a zombie.
Undead broke two of these rules which means it sucks. Plus, they played it for laughs. A good zombie flick has an air of paranoia. It ratchets up the tension by putting people in a really bad situation, and they have to try and get out of it. Yet, people keep messing this up. Why do producers put up money for this crap?
Don't watch this one. Check out Day of the Dead instead.
