Walking with the Dead

What has happened to Spoofs and Pardodies?

Oh wait... I remember! The Scary Movie Franchise...

Yeah, it has to be said that this movie follows all the old tropes of trying to cash grab at a popular formula. We are long past the days of Mel Brooks thanks in part to a Politically Correct sensibility that seems to have issues with people taking the P**s out of every cultural stereotype and shoving it in our faces about how Hypocritical society really is...

This was the Genius of many Early Parody Movies... Mel;; Brooks, a Jewish Director/Writer/Movie Star, was more than willing to not only shove the ridiculous stereotypes of most people into our faces and say 'Seriously! This is how Stupid we all are!' but also send up his own beliefs because he KNEW that even he and his beliefs were not above a level of Hypocrisy.

Brooks, Zucker and Abrahams were very culturally aware... and never afraid to ruffle feathers for a laugh - because when we laughed at what we saw on screen, we were also laughing at ourselves...

Sadly, this art seems lost... This movie does NOT hit any of those notes and instead relies on 'Parody' of the most popular movies of its genre...

The Title is obviously a Parody of The Walking Dead, There are references to 28 Days Later, Star Wars, Zombieland (Parody of a Parody? Are you serious?), Warm Bodies and many more.

For what its worth, the film is NOT terrible... In fact, it has elements that are genuinely funny, though they are few and far between.

The effects are possibly one of the better elements of the movie - And sometimes quite graphic and gory... But this does not make it a great film.

Its biggest problem is they try too hard to cram as many pop culture references into the film to try and score cheap laughs that most of the time just do not work.

Given that so many films seem to be pandering to the so called 'Social Justice Warriors' and avoid making jokes that may even remotely come across as Racist or Religious in anyway - Its still baffles me how so many of these movies still rely on Stoner Humour to try and get laughs!

Overall, its cheap, tacky, but to be fair... Its short and mildly entertaining.

It could have been so much more though - Instead to falls into the vain of Disaster Movie, Epic Movie, Scary Movie 4, The Starving Games and such like... Only with a much lower budget.

Its not going to challenge your humour much - But you may get a few cheap laughs out of it.

If people are going to continue doing parodies - PLEASE FOR GODS SAKE STOP TRYING TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT! NOTHING SHOULD BE SACRED TO HUMOUR!

The degree of enjoyment one would get from this poorly made spoof is how much churlish subjects like stripper zombies one can tolerate. It takes a lot of zombie titles and creates a bland parody of them. However, movies like Warm Bodies and Zombieland originally had much more humor, making this spoof a very inferior viewing.

There's not much in term of plot or technical aspects. It merely copies the look and some of the quirks on different shows, then puts some exaggerated crude jokes on them. It's certainly far from the refined amusement of Shaun of the Dead, which it ironically also copies on one of its scenes. Some of the gags even feel redundantly repetitive or outright obnoxious.

There are some things it does correctly, although these are so few, such as the impression of Walking Dead Daryl which looks pretty convincing. It points out odd plot devices of the genre like creepy couple with ulterior motives, but then again it's very expected and those who have internet might have come across these jokes before. The rest are cheap knock-offs from the better original titles, which are more bearable, though still in much lower quality.

In span of its runtime, The Walking Deceased probably only has a couple of decently original comedy, which pale in comparison of its more juvenile ones. It's better to rewatch the movies it spoofs on than wasting time on this lackluster parody.

No-budget spoof of recently popular zombie movies and TV shows. In particular it parodies Zombieland, Warm Bodies, and The Walking Dead. It's a terrible comedy that offers no laughs. It's not funny at all but it tries so hard. The Kool-Aid bit was the only time I chuckled. At one point they were so desperate for laughs they threw in one of those tired "everybody gets high" gags that we've seen in THOUSANDS of movies. Ugh. Just the worst.

The amateur production values and the poor editing don't do it any favors either. They appear to have gone to Rite-Aid for Halloween makeup to use on their zombies. The acting ranges from terrible to mediocre. I feel bad for these people. One reviewer suggested watching this with your friends. I'm not sure what that person's friends are into but mine would never speak to me again if I subjected them to this. As for all the reviews that are giving this glowing praise -- I'll assume these people are affiliated with the film in some way. Either they worked on it or are related to someone who did. I much prefer that answer to the uncomfortable idea that someone out there legitimately thought this was funny. That would be tragic. Avoid this cheap stinker.

The one star I give this stinker is only because there are a couple of funny moments and lines. I also kind of appreciated the homage to The Walking Dead (the sheriff, an obvious Rick, is called Sheriff Lincoln...the last name of actor Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick in The Walking Dead).

The script is one of the worst imaginable. Jokes and gags fall cringingly flat left and right. This is only exacerbated by the horrid non acting from the cast of non actors. The plot is a silly mess. The directing is non existent.

Skip this unwatchable dretch.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Walking with the Dead" (2015) is not the worst movie of all time, and that is probably the best thing i can say about this "spoof". I liked that they tried to spoof some famous zombie movies and shows, but they failed or not even tried harder. Characters (more like costumes) that resembles famous characters from the originals are there and they kinda try to spoof them, but usually it is not funny, more just dull and gross at times. There are some very bad dialogs and acting in here, and although i love spoof genre, this one isn't good - comparing any "Scary Movie" installment to "Walking with the Dead" would be like trying to compare "Godfather" with , well "Walking with the Dead".

Overall, whether you like spoof genre or not, "Walking with the Dead" is a very poor attempt to laugh at some famous movies. In order for make a funny spoof they forget to create a nice movie - even good spoofs don't have to be great art, but this one is just just dreadful. But it is not the worst movie or spoof i have ever saw, there are some worst movies, but i couldn't recommend this flick to anyone.
