SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

darrenwoodall I rarely feel compelled to write reviews about movies as most are neither particularly good or particularly bad. However, on this occasion I cannot help but feel I need to warn the rest of you potential victims that this movie is a complete waste of space.Directorship - OMG! Acting - Oh dear! Storyline - Hmmm!?!?! Effects/Action/Gore - Don't get me started! Camera work - Poor at best.How anyone could have likened this to The Walking Dead series (of which I am an avid fan) needs a smack! Honestly, go do some knitting with your grandma, you'll feel ultimately more satisfied.Enough said.

smcameron-582-530008 For most of what counts as a zombie movie these days this gets a 6. As a movie I would give it about a 3. But I like zombie flicks! Usually most that I find on Netflix, Syfy or other streaming sites turn out to be pretty much garbage that I can't get much more than 10 minutes into. However Dead Season held my interest and offered a decent story, not completely horrible acting, and a plot that at least moved. It's a pretty scripted mix of most of the popular zombie takes you have seen. A little dawn of the dead, pretend the island at the end wasn't swarmed with zombies and the sequel had a lower budget! Then call them "Walkers", hmm. If you need a fresh fix this is not the worst place to look.

Uriah43 After a zombie apocalypse, a man and a woman decide to flee the American mainland and sail to an island. When they arrive they find themselves being evaluated by a group of people already there on whether they should be allowed to stay or whether they should be killed. Since "Elvis" (Scott Peat) is a medic his services are in great need and so he and "Tweeter" (Marissa Miller) are allowed to stay. But they soon realize that there are a couple of big problems. First, a Dutch cruise liner has sunk near the shore and zombies are managing to make their way from it to the island. The other problem is a lack of food. At any rate, rather than give away the entire story I will just say that this is a standard zombie film. It is grim, with no humor to speak of. The acting is adequate. So too is the action and the gore. In short, it's not spectacular by any means but it is definitely worth a look for those who enjoy this genre.

Michael_Elliott Dead Season (2012)** 1/2 (out of 4) Better than average film starts off after a zombie apocalypse takes out most people. Survivors Elvis (Scott Peat) and Tweeter (Marissa Merrill) meet by chance and soon the two jump in a boat and head off to an island. Once there they find more survivors being led by a man (James C. Burns) who is up to something darker than zombies. DEAD SEASON suffers somewhat from its obvious low-budget but for the most part this was an entertaining film that managed to have some brains for it, which isn't the norm for this type of picture. Unlike most movies that turn up on DVD, this one here isn't about cheap gore and dumb action. Instead we're given a pretty interesting story that actually had me caring about the characters, their issues and the situation that they're in. I thought the entire story was pretty good and I enjoyed seeing what a group of survivors might be doing to try and continue their lives while everything around them is pretty much dead. A lot of credit must go to the performances, which I found to be very good. I especially liked Merrill who was great in her role and I hope to see more of her in the future. I also enjoyed Corsica Wilson who plays a daughter locked up in the village. The gore effects are pretty graphic for this type of picture as there are several damaging bites and heads being shot off. I think a higher budget would have allowed for some of the plot to be developed more but there's still no question that this film gets quite a bit done and the majority of it done very well. Fans of the genre should be entertained by this one.
