Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection (2012)

Once again I did not check up on this movie and totally regret it! The film style is awful low budget and messy. It starts slow with a guy driving along and then he tries to get petrol from cars meets some zombies who are slow and not too scary and then he comes to a house knocks on the door and then looks through the letterbox, oh dear he is then shot in the face by the head of the family a quite large chap with Dennis Healy eyebrows which I must say you can't take your eyes off the whole of the movie.We then meet the family 'Dennis' the dad, mum who at first thought your too young to be his wife, two daughters one is preggers her husband, a son and grandad. Grandad is in bed unwell and the teenage son looks a bit ill too (I wonder why). The son then becomes unwell and mum takes him to the bathroom where oh dear he dies and then she won't accept it but when he wakes up as a zombie they have to lock him in the bathroom.Eventually grandad turns too and gets locked in the bedroom the family don't know what to do so good old dad says he will go out for help big mistake as he comes across a gang of youths who kill him by driving over him again and again. Back at home pregnant daughter gets bit by her brother and then gives birth which we don't see or the baby which is wrapped in a towel, she then bites her husband who turns which leaves mum and younger daughter, oh grandad bites the mum and both he and son escape. The ending is mum and daughter saved by a truck of soldiers the end.Bad acting by all and zombie action rubbish not worth a view.

Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection (2012)* 1/2 (out of 4) Ultra low-budget film about some family members trying to survive inside their home while there are zombie attacks going on outside. This film was shot in Wales, which is one reason why it stands apart from countless other rips of the George A. Romero classic. Those expecting or wanted a direct remake are going to be disappointed because this is yet another case where the title is simply being used to gain some attention and push some added sales or rentals. I guess you can't blame them for using the title since there's no question that it's going to get the attention they need. With that said, I really didn't find this to be as horrible as many others did. Yes, the low-budget certainly doesn't do any favors for the film but then again, should this be an excuse since Romero was able to do so much with so little? I think there are a couple good things going on here and that includes the first big twist that happens in the story. I'm going to avoid spoiling this for those who do decide to watch the film but the rug is pulled out from the viewer and it caught me off guard. The second thing I liked about the picture is the fact that they did try to do something new instead of just giving us stuff we've seen countless times before. I'm sure a direct remake would have been much easier but the filmmakers went for something different. That "new" thing doesn't always work for a couple reasons. One is that these characters keep getting bitten because they do incredibly stupid things, which just get annoying after a while. Another issue is that the family issues that get so much attention just aren't all that memorable or good enough for you to care about them. There's also a moral debate on if zombies or humans are more evil but I'll leave that up to you. The performances aren't all that bad, there are some good gore effects and the pacing really isn't as bad as one might expect. Still, this film is only going to be for those who must see every zombie film out there.

So many thoughts are flying through my head watching this movie, most notably how a film could be produced so poorly and approved for release. Perhaps that is the logic these days...Design a flashy cover, capitalize on a popular film title (i.e. Night of the Living Dead), and not give a damn about the quality/production of the film. I invested $20 on this movie somehow knowing in the back of my mind, that this would be a total and complete failure...and to my very surprise, IT WAS! Zombie film after zombie film, they all continue to outdo one another in terms of creating the most unrealistic, boring, waste of time. I simply cannot waste any more of my time or energy into this film, but on a final note if you want a classic zombie film, look no further than Tom Savini's Night of the Living Dead.

Night Of The Living Dead: Resurrection. The film wasn't without it flaws but it works nicely enough as a homage to the original film.I felt a little under whelm by it. I wanted more from it. There were times I found the characters interesting and others not so. There was some lovely camera work and direction but there was also some lighting issues. It wasn't anything I not seen before from a genre that been done a lot by independence film makers. You still get everything you would want from a zombie film but with the market so wide the film really needed to push it self a bit more. Despite the film being a bit dark in places to see what was going on it still added a nice feel to the over all the film. The zombies were often seen in the shadows which really added to the film.The film overall is stills miles better than Night of the Living Dead 3D. NOTLD: Resurrection is one of those films you have to take for what it is. It miles better than a lot of low budget films but I would have likes to have seen something much more from it. You have to give credit to the markers of the film for what they did on a low budget and the respect they had for the original source material.Hopefully if they do make another they can fix the flaws as I truly believe the film had potential to be something great. Just this time around it just miss the mark. Overall nice try.
