DAVE DARIS FROM
CHUD REVIEWS UNDEAD
(8.4/10)
“This may be a first feature, but the Spierig brothers aren't amateurs. …a slick directing style (if a bit heavy on the blue filters), and exceptional use of special effects both practical and computer-generated. Gushing with gloriously gooey gore and laced with black humor, the film pays fond respects to the works of godfathers Romero, Raimi and Peter Jackson…but never blatantly swipes from any of them.”

REVIEWS UNDEAD (4.5/5)
“The wait is over zombie fanatics! What wait you ask? The
wait for the next great zombie flick!…Undead may
vary well take its place right behind it at #2 on my all time favorite zombie
films! Yes, it's that good…”
NEIL YOUNG’S UNDEAD
REVIEW (5/10)
“Ramshackle comedy horror on a restricted budget,
though special-effects often surprisingly impressive. Overlong,
amateurish, good-natured and intermittently very funny zombie picture
with non-stop muzak to cue the laughs and jolts.”
AINT IT COOL NEWS-REVIEW
BY HARRY KNOWLES
“What this
film has is a whole slew of new twists and turns for a Zombie movie. It isn’t
just a zombie flick, it adds other mythologies, creates its own and in the end…
It leaves you giggling with a smile knowing… that You will own this film on DVD
someday.”
DVD ANSWERS REVIEW
UNDEAD
“Basically, Undead is just Evil Dead meeting up with
a whole heap of other films that I would rather not mention here lest I spoil the
storyline for you big time… the characters are unsure of what they are dealing
with whilst combining it all with a dark humour and some real gross-out
moments…I thoroughly enjoyed this film for the continual nods and winks it gave
to the audience…enjoy it immensely for the mix of humour and horror on show.”
CREATURE
CORNER REVIEW BY JOHNNY BUTANE
“We can only hope that more and more filmmakers
like the brothers Spierig continue to flock to the horror scene because we need
more quality zombie films like this to show Hollywood how it should be
done.
BOX-OFFICE
PROPHETS REVIEW BY CHRIS HYDE
“ its darkly comic moments, solid
lead acting, rapidly paced storyline and high quality low-budget milieu, Undead
succeeds as a fun filled and entertaining take on what is mostly warmed over
subject matter. While the brothers Spierig are only novices when it comes to
the creation of cinematic works, their inexperience doesn't slow them down at
all here.”
FILM
FREAK CENTRAL REVIEW OF UNDEAD
“I fear that Undead's
pandering will sail over their heads and lead to a misguided appreciation of
the film as a one-stop shop for all their geek cravings…Unendurably boring in
its superfluousness, its ersatz feel accentuated by a plethora of digital
effects, Undead is simply a stiff.”
EFILMCRITIC.COM REVIEWS
UNDEAD
“For such a modestly budgeted film, Undead
looks great. While it's visual effects are nowhere near as polished as a studio-backed
film, it manages to not look laughably cheap, either. And while some (okay,
most) of the characters are just a little too over the top and grating at
times, the whole thing just has such a self-assured tongue-in-cheek attitude
about it that's hard not to enjoy.”
“It may not be the most polished product out there but its
rough spots are outweighed by the obvious skill, passion and ambition displayed
by those behind the camera. Based on this movie, one eagerly awaits the next
project by the Spierig brothers.”
“A funny, over-the-top horror-comedy, this is an audacious debut
and an inspiring modern example of what DIY cinema can achieve.”
