If zombies actually existed I think it would be like this movie. I don't like zombie movies but this was great Watch it. I say B+

"I'm just trying to survive." Lt. Brian Murphy (Freeman) is part of the last evacuation plane out of Africa. The country is in a war where the dead come back as zombies. When the plane crashes he is the lone survivor and now he needs to make it to the airport on his own. When he meets a local sergeant they decide to work together to make it to safety. I will start by saying that I have never really liked zombie movies (except for "Shaun of the Dead"). The "Dawn Of The Dead" and "28 Days" movies never were my thing. This movie however was great. Much like the movie "Let Me In", which I thought was what the world would be like if vampires actually existed, this movie is the most "realistic" zombie movie I have ever seen. If zombies did exist I think it would be like this movie and not the glorified gore that other movies show. For someone who doesn't like movies like this I was very impressed. Overall, one of, if not the, best zombie movie I have ever seen. I recommend this. I give it a B+.

Surprisingly nice zombie movie...

"The Dead" was really quite a surprise. And it is also a zombie movie way out of the ordinary; it is set in Africa, something you don't see every day. But if you have read David Wellington's "Monster" trilogy, then you will love this movie.

Let me say that the African setting was really a nice breath of fresh air in the zombie genre. It worked so well, because it was miles after miles of savanna and badlands. No big skyscrapers here, no high-tech underground facilities, no narrow and winding dark alleys. A couple of villages though, so it was cool.

However, one thing that puzzled me in "The Dead" was the amount of zombies that were shambling about in the savanna. I would have assumed that there wouldn't be that many walking around in the middle of nowhere. Near the villages, yes, but in the middle of the savanna, no! And oddly enough every time the two main characters in the movie stopped somewhere, there were suddenly (and always!) a group of zombies shambling in to attack them. That was so stupid. But I guess it was the simplest way to work in a heap of zombies into the story.

Basically the story revolves around two people only. But it works out well enough, despite the movie moving ahead at a fairly slow speed. But that was not a bad thing, because the movie was far from boring. Just don't expect speed, action and lots of adrenalin, though.

The cast in "The Dead" was nice and they did good jobs with their roles. And the two lead roles were well cast.

One thing that could have improved the movie for me, was if the zombies had glazed over milky eyes instead of those weird white eyes; it just didn't really make them have that classic zombie/dead person look. But hey, it was a minor thing. It is just me that pays attention to the small details.

All in all, "The Dead" was really a great movie and it was really nice to see this type of approach to the zombie genre. So thumbs up for the movie makers. And if you are a zombie aficionado like me, then you definitely want to check out "The Dead".

Superior zombie horror knockout

Rugged American Air Force engineer Lt. Brian Murphy (well played with properly stoic resolve by Rob Freeman) and soulful African Sergeant Daniel Dembele (a fine and dignified performance by Prince David Oseia) have to cast aside their differences and work together to survive a zombie outbreak in Africa. Writers/directors Jon and Howard J. Ford bring a bleakly serious take-no-prisoners sensibility to the gripping premise, create and sustain a powerfully unsettling sense of danger around every corner throughout, develop a considerable amount of nerve-wracking tension, and derive a lot of strikingly effective mileage out of both the novel setting and road movie format. The fact that the two main characters have families that they are concerned about gives the picture additional depth and poignancy, with Dembele's quest for his son in particular proving to be quite touching. The lurching zombies are so numerous, relentless, and ubiquitous that they are extremely frightening as well. The uncompromisingly grim and gritty tone rates as another major asset, although there's still a faint glimmer of hope evident at the devastating downbeat conclusion. The deliberate pacing and overall low-key style further enhance the pervasive skin-crawling creepy atmosphere. Jon Ford's dazzling cinematography vividly captures the beautiful, yet harsh and desolate African terrain. Kudos are also in order for Imran Ahmad's rattling, but rich and melodic score. Best of all, there's no silly humor or hip current pop culture references to detract from the harrowing severity of the stark horror. Highly recommended.
