Dead Zone

This is gred B zombie flick movie.

Storyline quite straight. Acting just ok for me.

But it's still entertaining to watch this movie until the end.

Dead Zone is a 2022 American sci-fi action horror film about elite soldiers who must fight off radiation mutated hordes.

Directed by Hank Braxtan (Snake Outta Compton; Unnatural; Chemical Peel; Blood Effects) from a screenplay written by Michael Klug and Tim Ogletree and a story by co-producers Jeffrey Giles and Michael Lurie.

An elite team of soldiers who, to stop the collapse of humanity, descend on a radiation-poisoned town and perform the ultimate stealth mission using high-tech armor and weapons.

Just watch it guys.

I've seen all this before... imagine low-budget versions of Halo, Doom and Resident evil combined. Voila, a moneymaker without anything new. Not recommended unless you've somehow missed all those movies, in which case it might seem original.

It's clearly a low budget B film, and considering it's a Tubi original "free" production, it wasn't too shabby. The camera-work was a little too shaky and the editing could've been better, but the pacing was decent for the comfortable 83 min runtime. Even the cinematography, score and directing were decent. Sure the writing had some issues, but with the adequate S/VFX, gore and MJW's awesome action scenes, as well as all cast performances being spot-on, it was still an enjoyable one-time watch. Anyone giving this film one's and two's needs to learn how to count higher. I've paid to see much worse, so I'm not complaining to watch something for free produced by Tubi's shoestring budget with a watchable and suspenseful story and decent actors. It's a well deserved 6/10 from me. Thanks Tubi, please keep them coming.

Right, well a zombie movie with Michael Jai White in the leading role, what isn't there to like here?

Sure, as I sat down to watch the 2022 action horror movie "Dead Zone", I had never heard about it. But seeing it was a zombie movie, of course I had to watch it. And seeing that Michael Jai White was on the cast list, well that was just a great bonus.

The storyline in "Dead Zone", as written by Jeffrey Giles, Michael Klug and Michael Lurie, was pretty much as generic and unimaginative as you could get. This was textbook how-to-make-a-zombie-movie, right down to the letter. And that didn't make for a particularly good movie. Nay, this was pretty stale and cumbersome.

Aside from a very bland and monotonous storyline, then the character gallery in the movie was pretty weak. I honestly didn't care one bit about any of the character, and I don't even remember their names, and I have literally just gotten out of my seat from having sat down to watch "Dead Zone".

The acting performances in the movie were fairly wooden and rigid, and I do wonder how come Michael Jai White is showing up in so many dubious movies these years. Don't expect to be in for a grand cinematic experience of Shakespearian levels when (and if) you sit down to watch "Dead Zone".

The special effects in the movie were fairly limited, feeling like the movie was on a very strict and tight budget. Having made use of more elaborate and spectacular special effects and CGI might have done wonders for an otherwise stale movie experience. And as for the infected in the movie, they were as low-key as you get, and it just made the ordeal feel very amateurish.

If you enjoy zombie movies, like I do, then do yourself a favor and steer clear of "Dead Zone". Believe me, it simply isn't worth the effort, time or money.

My rating of "Dead Zone" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.

It is somewhat watchable, but, if you can avoid. Elements from 28 days later, resident evil.. poorly made. They kept those silent helmets on most of the time. Didn't make that much sense either. Poor quality shoddy cgi and overall quality.

Oddly, for a zombie movie, the city seemed pretty lit up, for everything to have collapsed.

Sat though it as I had nothing best to watch and hoped it was nice, but i was mistaken.

Low budget I would not recommend.................................................................................................................................................
