NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD : RE-ANIMATION (2012)
After inheriting the
family mortuary, a mortician sort of exposes hundreds of un-cremated seemingly
way over mutilated bodies to toxic medical waste. As some of the corpse come
back to life, the mortician's jerk of a younger brother shows up, stumbling
upon a full zombie outbreak! Meanwhile the staff at the mortuary is a
bunch of “we really need to get a life” pot-smoking losers who are apparently
on screen for absolutely no reason at all.
The problems with this
movie are numerous. First off it looks literally like it was shot with something
even close to trying to create atmosphere. I will say the effects are decent
but that is almost completely overshadowed in this case by the failure to
execute them in the right places in this movie. Even the climax ending feels
like it should have happened either at the beginning or in the middle of the
movie.
Despite the fact that
the cast is not epically horrible, they don’t even appear to be trying for most
of this. I would watch out for Robin Sydney who has done a lot of cheesy crap
(some not as crappy as others) but has a ton of potential and can actually act
much like Sarah Lieving (opposite Robin Sydney) who can really act but just
has not been able to break out of the “ASYLUM” type films and perhaps is not
looking to. Why why are you not utilizing this cast, holy chance for excellence?
Anyway nothing about
this movie screams success or top 50 zombie movie. There are some clever and
great references to the classic zombie films and there is a diabolical twist,
but it leaves you hanging and leaves you thinking…”Oh well that’s just stupid.”
I give this movie a 2
out of 7 despite that we have a pretty good cast and two actresses that could
end up on a TOP 10 BEST ACTRESSES nominee list.
Rating Definition : 2
out of 7 – EHH, this movie was not good and you know it. You kind of wish you
hadn’t paid to see it or allowed that chick in the deli to talk you into taking
her. Once the bad taste in your mouth is washed out, you won’t think this is
the worst movie ever, but you will think it was close.
