Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
tbrunningbare2 First off, they are not zombies, they are infected by what the terrorist used. You have your usual kids just trying to survive the attack, with a bunch of running and screaming and kids being kind of stupid. Overall, it was a good movie, but be prepared to be kind of confused about a few choices the writers, actors, and editors made in this movie.
riquigley There are movies that have in-depth plots. There are movies that have interesting, complex characters. These films often make us contemplate our existence through obtuse themes that require introspection and careful pondering. And there are movies that are none of these things and yet still maintain a level of entertainment - visceral experiences that emote excitement, or fright, or romance, or comedy... perhaps even all four if we're lucky.The Demented has none of these traits. It is devoid of any artistic originality. It is predictable and bland. Watching it makes me contemplate how much I value the hours I have left on this earth, and whether or not I should choose to go do something else right at this moment. But The Demented is a cheap zombie flick, and this fact alone forgives many sins.The ending however, catapults this film past redemption. It makes me angry in ways that other things make me angry, like willful ignorance, 3rd world poverty, and excessive Facebook selfies. In the last few minutes of the film, just before the credits rolled, had there been a baby present, I would have punched he/she in the face. Had there been an invaluable painting handy, I would have smashed it into oblivion and declared art dead forever.This is what you can look forward to if you decide to watch this film. Perhaps that's what you're after: a reason to be depressed and angry at the world. Perhaps you're manic and need a reason to not love yourself anymore. Then this is the film for you.
trashgang You can easily spot throughout this flick that this was a low budget film. The effects used were not that good by which I mean, the CGI used. On the other hand the zombies just look like humans with a bit of blood on their face. I didn't liked the CGI used for the rabid dog or the zombie dog. The dog has flies hanging around him and that's pure CGI but the slime coming out of his mouth was badly done. I thought this was going to be a terrible movie but luckily they also used real effects and at the end I did like it.It's always dangerous to add names in the promotion coming from a popular series. Just have a look at The Roommate (2011) having two from Vampire Diaries in it. It just didn't work out but here we have Kayla Ewell from The Vampire Diaries and things did work out this time. Also in it is Sarah Butler (Sharley) and again she does what she does best. I did like both performances. It's a bit of a love story going wrong and zombies being involved. Slowly this flick do turns into a zombie flick. It's the fast running kind as I said with not that much of effects used. But again, towards the end the blood slowly comes in. The ending is another thing people are talking about. Two endings are shown, it's up to you to decide which one you prefer. It's not a flick that will win an Oscar but I'm a bit of a Butler fan and have meet her in the flesh, picture together included, this one is better then The Stranger Within (2013).

ihearthorrorfilm I have to give the first positive review for this film because the ones available at the moment are terribly close-minded and harsh. The consensus of the current reviews bitch and moan about the ending, which I felt, was incredibly realistic. I actually found that to be a quality most likable about this film is its ability to be realistic for such a low-budget zombie film. By realistic, I mean that the characters are relatable when it comes to their reactions and their fates. They make choices and they die like one actually would given there be a zombie apocalypse. It is difficult to write a zombie film that stands out anymore due to our zombie obsessions. That being said, sometimes its fun just to watch a film that portrays that very situation, play out naturally without there being something totally new and never-before-seen. CHILL OUT people!! It's a low-budget zombie film! I don't know why people expect so much from films, especially the low-budge indies. If you're not pretentious and/or jaded, but you like a fun zombie apocalypse film, then you will probably have a fun Sunday afternoon watching The Demented. Plus, let me just point out that the zombie sleeping thing was incredibly creative and really very creepy in my opinion. That was a super cool new zombie characteristic, mad props to the writers on that.Please like me on Facebook!
