Review of The Dead Undead (2010) by Rob C — 21 Sep 2012
A couple of young campers are attacked by a zombie/vampire horde and are rescued by mercenary vampires. Upon first reading of the script, I thought the film was going to at least be entertaining, but it falls completely flat once the horde comes out and attacks.
One: they just suddenly appear without question or warning except maybe for a child vampire appearing on one of the female campers while she was asleep. The child then flees into a crawlspace in the closet and then maybe one of the most annoying scenes of the film pops up involving a mouse.
Luckily, all but one female camper are killed within the first half hour and then the rest of the film involves the mercenaries in an all-out war with plenty of bullets, blood, bad lines and crappy effects.
Not to mention, each actor looks like they were reading off of cue cards the entire way through, except for maybe Luke Goss. And to make it all worse, it seems there will be a second part to this film, as evident from the final scene with Vernon Wells (Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, Weird Science, Fortress).
There is nothing going on here, unless to showcase another film where Luke Goss can express his tough-guy persona to the masses. I believe he should get back into another big lead role and stay away from Made-For-TV films like this.
