5.9 out of 10? WHAT THE HELL!

Society is so *beep* up that it's unheard of. This movie was without a doubt the creepiest zombie flick I have seen since Return of the living dead or Day of the dead.

-Music or lack of sound was chilling the type of conk shell sound that played throughout most of it gave you the sense of hopelessness and what was to come.

-Lack of noise the zombies made, really they were so slow but that's what made it scary. When they were stranded at night the zombies could've been anywhere.

-The headlight scene sent a chill through my body.

-When the solider guy was walking down a dark hall with just his flashlight..and no music. Just eerie quietness.

Really this is what movies need today. This was scary, and unsettling. Any other movie the zombies moan or groan. Perfect atmosphere, music, sound effects, lack of talking and dialogue from the actors.

Every zombie movie today has to have them sprinting the marathon like they're in the Olympics. It looks so ridiculous unfortunately the majority of teens are glued to this garbage.

This film is perfect in every way possible. Really majority of idiots that didn't like this movie are Justin Bieber fans or One Direction. Either way you have no business rating films cause of your lack of IQ and movie taste. Sorry if it's offensive but it's the cold heart truth. Screw the whole young crowds have the right to their opinion, no they don't in this case because they are the reason films today suck.

I gave it a 7 but would have given it a 7.5 if possible. It wasn't a 8 though.

I applaud the flick and the return to the old zombie style, an attempt at a real idea, and not being a cookie cutrter zombie flick, but honestly it was far from "perfect in every way possible"

I am no Justin Bieber or One Direction fan and dislike many modern slick horror attempts that lack the soul of old school horror. That this film had soul I acknowledge, but that doesn't make it a perfect film or anyone who doesn't like it (as much as you) an idiot.

Now the trailer for The Dead 2: India looks very promising and honestly the story narrative from just that trailer is grabbing me a lot more than the whole of the narrative from The Dead (original) did. I hope the second film fulfills that potential.

I think the 5.9 is about right personally. I gave it a 6. I think it's OK but I wouldn't bend over backwards to see it again. Not a One Direction/Bieber fan and I'm approaching middle age!!!

I never see at this time but.. after the vew of trailer of this.. and the sequel... that will be my next buying movie. Wow very good filmography... not a Bieber fan too!

I'd call this a solid 5. A 5 should mean it's a perfectly average film, and this was not much more than average. But the small budget, good locale, and focus on tension and waiting was refreshing.

That being said, it was too slow in some key spots. I feel like the film makers felt very highly of this before it was done.

Agreed bruh, 5.9 is ludicrous... 3.9 is more like it

Somedays you just can't dispose of a bomb.
