The Revenant

It was pretty slow to start, and overall the film was a bit too long, some editing would have done wonders for this film. However it had some great moments, and I enjoyed it a lot. Its unusual in the sense he is not quite vampire, not quite zombie.

It's a bit weird, it is a horror comedy which I can enjoy a lot, but it's also got that bromance buddy cop feeling to it for the middle section of the film, when the two main characters end up fighting crime, then feeding on the blood. Like a vampire.

Then the ending gets a bit dark, and grim. But I think it's a good end.

I just saw a rough cut tonight and this is an excellent film and will definitely become a cult classic.

It is very funny, with an interesting story and good acting. I loved it!

This is kind of a "buddy" vampire movie and there is some great interaction between the two main "buddy" characters.

There is a lot of humor, which makes this a very fun film, but there is plenty of blood and guts too.

This film is an interesting (and very realistic) take on the Vampire's viewpoint.

My son found this film & recommended that I watch, having been a fan of David Anders from Heros as Adam Monroe & being a fan of the Zombie genre I had high hopes.

I wasn't let down, this film was brilliantly entertaining & the ending totally unexpected! Anders & Wylde work brilliantly together & D. Kerry Prior's script is a great new take on the zombie genre which other film makers should take note of. This film is up there with Shaun Of The Dead, The Vagrant & a host of other films, most of which never get the credit they deserve.

A true future classic

I usually avoid Zombie movies unless I am in the mood for a B grader. I went into watching this with the intent of watching a decent B grader - was pleasantly surprised.

It starts off as a B grader with the scene in Iraq with some very cheesy dialogues on ethics but from there on transforms into a pretty decent watch.

You can think of it as The Boondock Saints meets Shaun of the dead. However, its much less whackier than Boondock and much less zombier than Shaun.

Not a bad watch overall watch - has its moments - but has uneven pacing which sort of affects the overall tempo and prevents you from completely getting into it.

Remember how gritty and darkly funny Super was, with that message that one person really can be heroic...or just insane while taking out the bad guys? Remember how Fido with it's campy comedy made you root for the zombie... who seemed to be an overall great guy? Smash that together and you get The Revenant.

The pacing is not the best, but it has a good story with a great ending reminiscent of the Worst Case Scenario Promo Trailers (they never got enough funding to make that movie). Plus it has some very memorable moments thanks largely due to the acting of the two leads. Some of the dialog and character choices were a little cheesy and maybe unrealistic, but the rest makes up for those short comings.

Just to keep in mind, I can't really call this a zombie film, because it seems way closer to a vampire film, but it has the gross moments you'd expect from a zombie comedy and doesn't really remind me of any vampire films. There is a slightly drawn out scene that claims he is both, which I would dismiss due to the misleading "facts" provided, but I'm sure zombie fans can appreciate much of the film.
