Dead Season [HD]

Not Bad - Would have appreciated a slower pace and more innuendo
I was pretty excited about this one. I watch just about every zombie movie that comes out from the big budget ones down to things made for a hundred bucks. What i can tell you is that along THAT continuum, this is by far above average. But does that mean its GOOD? I'm not sure - but its not BAD. As far as the technical aspects go, this film is lovely. The cinematography is excellent (i'm going to assume it was filmed on DSLR - looks like a 5D or 7D?) and everything is wonderfully framed. The acting is above par for a film of this budget. The "bad" guy is the strongest performance, with maybe the most unsteady of all coming from the male "lead" - though not to a degree that takes away from anything. I use quotation marks because there isn't really a lead or a villain, just people that NEARLY take that role. Now, i don't have a problem with not filling standard archetypes of film - its just that these characters could have been so much deeper. The pacing of this film was so fast that...

HOTDOGS AND PANCAKES
During the zombie apocalypse, shortwave dating will replace Internet dating. A viral outbreak has created zombies which are called "walkers" with second generation zombies known imaginatively as "runners." It appears canned peaches will be the main food staple/currency in the post apocalyptic world (Dead Season, The Road, Hell, Soylent Green...no wait that was strawberry jam.)

Elvis (Scott Peat) meets Tweeter (Marissa Merrill) while shortwave dating. They opt to go off to the proverbial zombie free island, only in this film they actually do it. Once there, they discover the island is controlled by a paramilitary group. Walkers will wash up on the beach and have to be re-killed. There is also a very limited food supply as the government has contaminated the soil.

The island is run by Kurt (James C. Burns) who keeps is 17 year old daughter locked up in her room (Corsica Wilson) where every dad wants to keep his teen daughter. Elvis is a paramedic who kills walkers...

Yet another bad video reviewed by people who worked on it
I suspect the two people here who have one review, this movie, which they rave about, are the same folks who left the rave reviews at the IMDB too (where there they also have one review - this one). Once you see the actual movie, you'll understand. This is not good - it's essentially a rip off of Day of the Dead - with amateur actors, bad direction and a bad script. Not the "tremendous" movie you read other "reviewers" writing about. And what is it with folks who've worked on a movie who come in here and praise it - they ALWAYS say "it wasn't what I expected." Do they get these lines out of a "how to pretend to be someone else praising your own movie" book? I've said it before, I'll say it again- people who work on the movie should NOT be allowed to write pretend reviews in Amazon and the IMDB. It's unethical to see someone talking about how great it is when clearly it's not. Then you get folks like me who are even more angered and make sure to let the public know the truth - so the...
