Dead Zone

First, the High reviews for this are BS, it's a decent B zombie flick, but that's it. Watch if bored, has a few different approaches to the zombie world. Was about to stop watching 5 minutes in but did the whole movie. It's a watch for bored , die hard zombie fans, easy to rip apart but most are.last, the review board states I need 600 characters for this review what is absolutely bs , watch if bored and nothing else going on worth remembering.done''....".................."."..........This 600 character is b u l l $ h I t., this is why so many don't post this about any movie, they want a god damn novel for a review on a half ass b movie.

I watched my first (and last) Tubi Original with the zombie-action flick DEAD ZONE (2022) "starring" Michael Jai White. I say "starring" because White is in the entire film but probably only shown on screen for 13 minutes. The rest of the time, he is suited up in a Halo cosplay outfit with a fogged out visor, no doubt to cover the fact it is a double and he probably worked a day or two on this in Colorado. They also do some Iron Man Jarvis-like inserts of his face. I understand that White has a family and they have to eat, but this is really rough stuff. Director Hank Braxtan (Snake Outta Compton...yes, a real movie title) stages things so poorly with the entire commando unit decked out in identical outfits (except for leader White having a red stripe down his helmet), so you can't even tell who is who. Probably on purpose. Replete with bad action scenes, shoddy CGI and a haggard looking Jeff Fahey cameo, it feels like it was a SyFy movie lost in the editing bay in 2005 and recently recovered.

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 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.................................................................................................................................................

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.
