Almost Dead

With this 2016 movie "Almost Dead" being a zombie movie, of course I would sit down and watch it, as I am a big fan of all things zombie.

"Almost Dead" did have some parts to it that were interesting. They weren't many, and they weren't enough to make up for all the shortcomings that the movie suffered from.

What went wrong with the storyline in "Almost Dead" from writers Giorgio Bruno, Davide Chiara and Daniele Pace is the fact that the complete story takes place in or in the close vicinity of a crashed car, with a couple of zombies milling about outside. It was just too ludicrous and nowhere near fulfilling enough to maintain a feature length movie.

Plus the fact that the script was watered down and basically so simple that it could have fit on a single A4 piece of paper didn't really help to improve on the movie's entertainment value.

As for the acting in the movie, well it was semi-adequate, taking into consideration the severe limitations in terms of a poor script, an almost non-existing storyline and characters that were blank sheets of paper.

The zombie make-up was sort of adequate, but we weren't really treated to enough zombies to actually get to see an abundance of zombie make-up. But at least you knew it was zombies.

The ending of the movie was actually the best part of the entire ordeal that is "Almost Dead". I will not spoil anything, so you have to endure through the movie to get to it.

The movie's title is quite fitting, as almost dead is how you'll feel once to you through the 1 hour and 25 minutes the movie runs. This 2018 zombie movie from director Giorgio Bruno is hardly a mentionable addition to the zombie genre. It is a movie that came and left without as much as a groan or a bite.

I am rating "Almost Dead" a generous four out of ten stars solely because it is a zombie movie and it does have some bright moments - they weren't many - but they were there.

The film is in the vain of 'The Walking Dead' but with a twist.

It is an intelligent, well executed movie that delivers what it says it does.

I will not spoil the twist in the film which takes you into a 'Walking Dead' style world but it is well done.

I was pleasantly surprised.

The film is well acted with a story line that works and well thought out.

I enjoyed it very much and the director is someone to watch in the future.

If you pick up this film you will not be disappointed.

This is The worst movie I have ever sat through. I wanted to see what the twist at the end was, so I forwarded through the whole movie. The acting is terrible. It doesn't make any sense. This Doctor Who works for the CDC should be confident, and should have the need to help people. But not this one. Plus she has an accent and her sister doesn't. Yet they work in the same place. This movie is a waste of time.

Oh this went south so quickly. I made it 30 minutes in before I just couldn't take any more. The dialogue is confusing and redundant, the characters are just endlessly repeating themselves in a louder voice, but the real hill I just couldn't get over was the main character. From the first frame she is unlikable and irritating and it just gets worse and worse. I enjoyed the ambience of the movie simply because I love the fog, but that's truly the only thing I can say for this mess.

Even if the story was decent, the characters of the movie are a different story. The main character is so annoying that you wish she was bit or killed. I don't know if that's the way she was written or if it was the actress but I wish she had died. That's how bad she is. I only stuck with the movie because I wanted to see what happened. If your bord watch it but I'm warning you...you'll want to reach into the screen and kill her yourself.
