New interview with DEAD 2 composer Imran Ahmad!


Hi All

Check out my new interview with composer IMRAN AHMAD, who take the chilling African sound of the excellent zombie film THE DEAD in a new ethnic direction of his native country for the spectacular sequel THE DEAD 2, an zombie film that gives WORLD WAR Z a shambling run for its way bigger budget with even more emotional impact - a unique, chillingly exotic musical journey that Ahmad describes here.

The minute the movie began,I knew this was a different kind of Zombie movie. Sure there were lots of problems. But it wasn't the music . I also noticed the Indians WERE PLAYED BY INDIANS. In movies with India in the title, they frequently start with stock shots in Mumbai or New Delhi and move the story someplace normal-like the wilds of Africa ( also known as El Cerrito, California.)

The camera work was crisper from the get-go. Yes-the Ishani was ordinary looking but one of the 1st female zombies trying to break in was far prettier but may not have spoken English as well or had permission or been connected someone in power. The father was a horrible casting choice. He wasn't Rajasthani. His accent was different than hers. They should have had Rajasthani actors and subtitles when they spoke to each other. Indians don't speak English to each other at home. They rarely speak it with non-Indians in the room (which is how I learned a lot of Hindi and Bengali.)
Also no father wearing a suit at home allows his daughter to work as a cleaner, nor does a self-respecting unmarried girl sleep with a foreigner of low status and risk ostracism from her family, caste, clan, and everything she believes in.
