#47 - Undead
Right, we're entering the final hour here, and I've got some nice films to finish me off...
I got Undead for three reasons - I saw the trailer and thought it was good; I saw the gun on the cover and thought it was brilliant; the zombies.
On the same day that beauty Queen Renee plans to leave the town she grew up in, a strange meteor shower hits the town and turns people into zombies. Renee teams up with a few other survivors, including the local loony who's convinced he's been abducted by aliens, to try to find out what's happening and to try to find a way out of town. But the town's been cut off by a hige wall of metal, there's a strange burning rain falling, and strange cloaked figures are wandering round the town.
This should have been a superb zombie movie. Really. It had the potential to reach Shaun of the Dead levels. Unfortunately, the filmmakers kind of messed things up a little by trying to have too much going on at once (zombies and aliens and rain and...), leaving it too complicated to follow at some points, even with subtitles. There were also plot points left hanging, and these were kind of important plot points so it was rather annoying.
I mean, I like the film, but it could have done better.
