Dead and Deader (2006)

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I caught the start of this on the Sci-fi channel a while back but I fell asleep before the end (not a testimony to how bad it was or anything, it was on at 3am). Much to my delight I found it for £3 online so I happily added it to my zombie collection.The story revolves around Dean Cain who is dead, a zombie but not quite the evil kind unless he gets hungry (good idea to carry a bag of steaks around in his presence). He wants to get to the bottom of why he's dead yet alive.There are some incredibly silly parts including the fact Dean Cain heals instantly every time he is hurt. How would his cells regenerate if he was dead? That and the overacting from his sidekick who steal's Will Smith's number one catchphrase.If you're expecting a hardcore zombie film you'll be sorely disappointed. If you want a lighthearted look at the living dead with some nice green splatter special effects and Dean Cain flashing his man-boobs then this is exactly what you need.A slightly above average 6 out of 10.

Having grown up with the lighter side of the zombie horror genre finding this film while channel hoping was fantastic! A very slight twist on the regular zombie flick (scorpians feature in a random way) there is plenty of green gore, explosions and cheesy one liners. The jock, chick and quick whited sidekick are all there but considering the story this film was surprisingly well acted and scripted never quite tipping the balance to the wrong side of corny. While I'm not sure I really needed to see a slightly less buff then I remember Dean Cain's man boobs this was an incredibly enjoyable film. I would recommended this to anyone who prefers the lighter side of horror.

This is a good one. Considering it's a TV movie it preforms really well and keeps the entertainment going throughout the movie. Some scenes tend to be bothersome, for example when the military truck breaks down. There was no scene that lead to that, it went from sitting there in truck to standing outside the broken down truck. It's almost like there was a scene before that and it was removed. Good movie with graphic violence which tends to keep people watching whether they want to admit it or not. Lots of random action /graphic violence scenes that happen out of nowhere. Caine always has something cocky to say after achieving something further in the story like killing a zombie. The only reason it didn't get a higher rating is because it wasn't a major motion picture. But it should have been. It surely doesn't compare to Dawn Of The Dead or like 28 days later, but it's still worth the watch. One thing I found interesting was they never used a whole load of CGI graphics like most TV movies do(excessively). For example the zombies are people dressed up as zombies not computer generated images. Even gun shots and things like that seem real. In one scene where Caine(Bobby) first meets the character "Johnson" and Johnson shoots the insect on the tile floor. The insect is destroyed but the tiles are left clean. You would think a double barrel shotgun would mark any floor in some which way or form. Enjoy the flick.

I gave this movie a 8/10 just cuz they show it on scifi and kept a lot of the bloody scenes in...most of the time...well if you've ever seen a horror movie on A&E for example or late at night on TBS...you know what i mean. But the special effects aren't amazing...but they are great for a low budget movie. Its funny,gory, Dean Cain can still act! Susan Ward was great as she is hot! I didn't even know she was in it...but i'd recommend seeing this cuz its just fun for being on a scifi and not the big screen...heck i'm gonna buy it on DVD if i can find it :) p.s. not everything in movies has to make sense to be enjoyable...sometimes its just gotta be fun to watch!
