Deadlocked

The zombie movie trend has been beaten to DEATH,and this is just another so so zombie flick. It has a couple of good jump scares,and the story is OK at best. The police officer could use a little bit of polishing on his acting skills...actually the best actor in the film is Sophie Giberson. I don't think it's higher than a five star rating (at least in my opinion) but it's a good way to blow an hour and twenty minutes if you have nothing else to do. Toodles.

Low-budget doesn't have to mean bad.

But this ain't good. Maybe it's a student film? (There is an actress, who plays "Olivia" and she's been in a few films. She was okay...not great, but good enough.)

Scripting/dialogue *really* needed work--stilted and unbelievable. The acting was wooden. The premise was promising, combining the tenseness of a zombie outbreak with the claustrophobic atmosphere of being stuck in an elevator. (I've actually experienced being stuck in an elevator with several other people during the height of summer, for a few hours...coincidentally, in a similar type of building. We didn't win any awards either :-D )

It's entertaining in the same sense as watching a newscast covering a riot is--you're shocked it's happening, wonder what *will* happen because it looks pretty bad, but can still wander away from watching it to do other things...and you may peek back just to see how it all ends.

It makes decent background noise, but not much else. Don't think I will be finishing it.

Starts off reasonably well although the acting could be better.

Low budget zombie makeup consists of some badly applied red lipstick around the mouths and not much in the way of gore and violence but they did ok with the £10,000 budget but no scares, no tension.

The problem is nothing much happens and there are a lot of improbable scenes and silly moments so yet another to add to the list of low budget zombie fails!

With such a limited budget, I think with that they did with this movie is darn impressive. The cast is good. The characters aren't much developed but are nevertheless easy to root for and likable. But like every other zombie movie they make awful choices. The concept and plot are neither refreshing nor original at this point but the movie manages to do it right. The opening sequences are my favorite part of the movie, very mysterious and creepy. I think the movie loses its steam after the reveal that it's a zombie apocalypse. The make-up and gore effects are not at their best but they do the job. The score is actually good, it fits the atmosphere and make things even more creepier. The lighting is well-done, and the usage of closeups is a good choice that makes things feel more claustrophobic. Overall, a good low-budgeted zombie flick that's enjoyable to watch.

Considering it is a super-low budget film, i think it is very good. Good acting, good script. If you start watching it, you won't be able to stop until the end.
