The unique selling point (can we call it which?) of John and The Dead of Howard Ford - zombie apocalypse success Africa - is its great strength and the greatest weakness. This is a superb, visually distinctive monstrous little road movie that pays tribute to any number of classic type influences both a febrile, dreamlike atmosphere and a strong persuasive story arc.
You admire the brothers, their distribution and a team to fight through an experience of hell for death to, and how that ends by reflected in what appears on the screen .but the same experience seems to also weighed the film, with a lack of depth and a plot was almost trails offshore nothing coming the last third.
No, it is nothing like the video game Resident Evil 5. Blood Diamond, it - rather than the white man, the problems of the black man opens the death on reanimated corpses decimating rural areas, with the workers of A Western military and latter flee in terror in an aircraft which is not fit to fly.
Their flight drops in the ocean and the sole survivor, Officer Brian Murphy (veteran actor Rob Bowman) struggles to shore, the best option left him looks like military base hundreds of miles north. In the meantime, as local contain zombies, Sergeant Daniel Dembele (Prince David Osei) military control decides there enough ditches his position to seek his son.When the two men crossing paths, they can make the whole trip?
This is a fairly decent hook, supported by an opening Macmillan with little filling, some effects work I physical and compelling, as was the case nostalgic dread.The Ford spoke of how they see their first feature film as a tribute to classic travel seventies films as a horror film making childhood dream, and the relationship is immediately apparente.Les brothers worked in advertising before it and serve their own DP, shot in a lush color palette heavy which makes the Dead look like a cult recently dug up classic the birth of the genre.
It has an incredible sense of place, cinema quality widescreen type of old school not a million miles from most famous namesake of the brothers.The effects may seem as if they wish a was the first Italian but any stickiness still impresses toujours.Vous weight can almost feel the heat, dust, rattle as the two ancient pickup truck leads the reader into the Bush.
Bowman and Osei are essentially pragmatic, but each manages admirable vulnerability - suppressed men clearly would panic rather be nowhere else to fight off the coast of a glutton, but who know their only choice is to slice horde and perform travail.Le cast support is solid, with the extras surprisingly convincing given many were so poor that they had never even seen rural villagers prior film, a fortiori acted in one.
This is a given even more laudable achievement a nightmarish catalogue real difficulties in production, where almost everyone who crashed with a kind of tropical diseases (Bowman itself was at any given time apparently days between death and filmed several scenes with genuine malaria) enlisting.8 difficult but it is to criticize people who suggested such a staggering amount of effort in their work, remaining death is far from perfect.
While the brothers generally treat their history with a fair degree of sensitivity, never patronising or any person, other than the exoticising parameter there is nothing that unique to this dead sujet.La pays tribute to the classic, but missing their social commentary, retail character or the taste of the pushbutton populaire.Ni is mine parameter to a large extent - there is nothing that affects policy beyond some brief commentary early and no actual use of the myth, legend, history or any emotional component beyond basic a man against the tropes of the world.
Many people do care and it does not stop the death to be a very good movie, but it could probably be that bit more. masterpiece of cult of Richard Stanley Devil dust turns an African horror film can have a spiritual, brain - largely absent here – and always be cracking of the Mad Dog Intimite Sauvaire genre.Johnny input is much more terrifying and a much more powerful commentary on tensions resulting spots of difficulty across the continent.
Nevertheless, it can only hope that did not kill the Ford brothers makes more fort.Il would be a crying shame if the death has happened given more apathy towards zombies.Independamment its shortcomings and its eventful history film, it is still a beautiful piece of work, haunting, memorable and a fine debut two directors talented, a film which is certainly recommended.
(Death was screened in the 24th Festival Leeds film).
