The Dead And The Damned Review

By Leave a Comment

The Dead And The Damned Cover PosterMovie: The Dead And The Damned
Year: 2011
Studio: iDiC Entertainment
Director: Rene Perez
Stars: David A. Lockhart, Camille Montgomery, Rick Mora
Language: English
Length: 82 Minutes
Sub-Genre: Zombies

Plot: In this indie Western-horror hybrid, a meteorite strikes California gold country and turns a town full of prospectors, prostitutes and gunslingers into flesh-eating zombies who develop a craving for a bounty hunter and his Apache warrior prisoner.

Review: Set in the Western times, The Dead And The Damned also known as Cowboys & Zombies, begins with an old fashion shoot-out around a saloon. The acting was stale but the fighting scenes were satisfactory. What you come to find out after a good 10 minutes, is this bounty hunter is out to serve justice and make money for his family back home. His next “job” is to capture alive an Indian who apparently is a rapist and killer. Around 40 minutes in there is a little snafu.

The story slightly shifts to these townspeople who find a glowing green rock in the desert. In amazement they take a pick-axe to the object when a mysterious smoky gas protrudes and turns everyone into zombie-like beings, some slow and some fast. They are out for flesh when they come across the bounty hunter, mistaken killer and a young girl that the bounty hunter purchased to help him in the capture of his next prisoner.

The zombies in The Dead And The Damned were done fairly well. Some of them scary and ravaging. For the most part the make-up was good. But here in lye’s the problem, all of the gun shots, wounds and the like were a CGI catastrophe. I presume the director hasn’t heard of squibs, or either didn’t think it through. It is a low budget film coming in at $30 thousand, but a few bloody squib packs would of went a long way in this film, as 99% of the killing was with gun shots.

There was a particular scene I was impressed with; the young blonde gets trapped in a room with a fierce, older woman zombie. The look of this zombie was scary and the scene had a lot of tension. We also got the only non-gun wound kill here with an axe to the head. Props on that part there.

The sound and score was lame, nothing chilling or frightening, kind of bland and dull. A few nice tracks thrown in would of helped big time on The Dead And The Damned. I am not a fan of old westerns, if you are, this might be an easier watch to you than it was for me, but horror fans desiring decent sound will want to skip this one.

In closing, The Dead And The Damned is a predictable and un-engaging horror film. Will you care for these characters? I think not, because the acting was quite poor. It was hard to buy anybody’s motivation, and the Apache Indian character should of stayed mute, because when he talked it hurt the film more. Overall, this is an easy avoid. I don’t feel like I wasted 80 minutes of my life, but there are far better independent horror movies that deserve your hard earned money over The Dead And The Damned.

If you would like to see The Dead And The Damed, you will not have to waste any money because you can see it for FREE on Amazon Instant Video.

The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) Review

By 2 Comments

The Human Centipede 2 - Full Sequence Cover PosterMovie: The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)
Year: 2011
Studio: Six Entertainment Company
Director: Tom Six
Language: English
Length: 85 Minutes
Sub-Genre: Torture, Thriller

Plot: Disturbed loner Martin is so obsessed with the shock horror film The Human Centipede that he decides to replicate that film’s grisly experiment. In this meta-sequel, the stakes are raised, with 12 unlucky souls enduring surgical hell.

Review: I want to start off by saying that I really enjoyed the first movie, it was highly original and I found it to be very entertaining, sick and demented and I rated it as one to watch. When I heard there was going to be a sequel, I was ecstatic and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. I was pleased to find out that Amazon’s Video on Demand was playing this film.

For my review I will start with the negatives of The Human Centipede 2; number one and foremost the film is in black & white. The writer/director Tom Six thought that this would raise the bar in the scare factor of the movie and make it out to be more believable. I totally disagree! I think it would of been so much better in color, there were so many kill scenes and blood spattering that color would of made it so much more intense. I love gory movies and the gorier the better and with this movie being in black & white I think it takes away from that so that it doesn’t seem as gruesome.

Another negative I had was there was very little talking in the movie. The lead character does not speak a word, he utterly mumbles a few things and makes some sound effects. It is not so much that I wanted to hear him talk because I think that it made him out to be much more deranged and psychotic, but I think there should of been a little more conversations throughout.

One final negative, I wanted to see more of the actual surgeries of attaching 12 people together. There were only a few brief scenes where you see some cutting and some stapling of the mouths to the anus. I am the type of horror fan that likes to see everything, the gorier the better. Just would of liked some more in there.

Now for the positives; I really like how they incorporated the first movie into this one with the lead character watching the actual movie and attaining his disgusting sadistic and inhuman idea. Also I liked the fact that they had one of the actual stars in the first one, which is Ashlynn Yennie. This sequel is much more vulgar, disgusting and downright nauseating. Plenty of bashing in heads and blood spattering kills.

The lead role played by Laurence Harvey was perfect! You could not of gotten a better person for this role. He had me convinced that he was totally out there I mean outer space out there in his role. His demeanor, fat belly, bulging eyes and evil sick little chuckles made this the perfect part for him.

I will finish up by saying that the director left the film open for another sequel. This movie is definitely not for the weak or faint hearted and you might want to have a vomit bag handy especially for one of scenes near the end of the movie. I really liked the ending, I was surprised and shocked! True horror fans, this is one movie you will want to see, that is if you can stomach it!!!
