Dug Up

DUG UP is your usual indie zombie comedy which feels a little better than some of the braindead efforts that this genre conjures up. The reason for that is that the script isn't totally mindless and the main three actors do seem invested in their roles. The story takes a while to get going and the first half is too obsessed with showing skin to get on with the plotting, but the low rent zombie nonsense in the second half is a bit better. There's the requisite cheap gore effects and some mannered acting bringing to life characters that are more caricature than real person. By the standards of mainstream cinema it's not very good, but by the standards of an indie it's not so bad.
