TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Ploydsge just watch it!
Lollivan 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.
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
timodo Aaron K. Carter uses Horror & Humor to tell this Frightfully Wonderful Tale of Human Survival, in the midst of a Zombie Apocalypse ! He doesn't let the flow of the film slow down with minor details; & presents his Story in an engaging manner, filled with Blood, Gore, & mayhem. The Players are well-cast & include a vast array of Talent, with the Biggest Name belonging to IRWIN KEYES, who's appeared in "House of 1000Corpses" & "Black Dynamite", as well as numerous other movies & TV Shows, portraying "Giant" from the Town of Circus-FolK, with BEN WOOLF playing the diminutive Town Leader "Squeak" . The Story revolves around a Father & Daughter trying to survive & Protect each other, while there's destruction all around them, & the Search for "Doctor Emerson", played by DARRYL DICK, to heal the Father . The Father, "Glenn" is Portrayed by AARON GUERRERO & the Daughter "Emma" is handled by a Trio of Talented Ladies, ERIN MIRACLE, ALEXANDRIA LIGHTFORD, & the Young MADISON MENDEZ: & they are All Equally Brilliant in their Roles . MICHAEL CAMP appears to have a Great Time playing the Bandit Leader & All-Around Bad Guy "Jebediah", & he does a Bang-Up job of it ! Rounding out the Cast is JULIETTE DANIELLE as "Rebecca", BRITTANY PASTOR as the "Dart Thrower", & LAURA E. WHITE as a "Bar Patron" . A Special Thank YOU to Beautiful DENISE JOHNS RAYL for bringing Her Obvious Talents to the role of "Busty Bar Patron" ! Thank You, AARON K CARTER & fellow writer NICHOLAS A. DeNICOLA for this Fun, Interesting, & Horror-Filled Film !!!! Well Done; & I'm awaiting the Sequel !!!
Theo Robertson I recently got a private message from someone asking if they'd seen their film DEAD KANSAS , "it is the first zombie film to use Point Of View (POV) zombies - in other words, the camera is the "zombie's eye" in some scenes." . Actually this isn't true because a while ago I saw a short film featuring a zombie apocalypse where a human witnesses a zombie attack , gets bitten and they become a zombie where the human beings are now the antagonists , the title of which escapes me .Nevertheless I wrote back I'd be happy to review though warned my reviews are always honest . Unfortunately I've got to keep to my word and say I did not like DK one bit I noticed there's a large number of external reviews from other sites and the vast majority of them seem rather kind , possibly because they don't want to upset the feelings of someone who has gone to the time and trouble of politely asking reviewers to take a look at their movie . It's obviously a project made out of love and hopefully the crew had a lot of fun making because as a neutral viewer I didn't have much fun watching it . The budget is non existent which isn't a criticism but this means you've got to cast mainly amateurs in key roles and they're just not good enough to carry the film . In fact in one bizarre segment the female lead turns in to a completely different actress reinforcing this is some modern day Ed Wood type production . This puzzled me so much that I had to check the trivia section to find out what was going on and found out several interesting things about DK . One is that it was originally envisaged as a short film , then blossomed in to a web series and eventually got re-edited in a near feature length film . The filming took place over a period of months which along with the lack of budget explains its disjointed car crash like quality . I hope I haven't reduced to tears the production member who asked me to review their film but I'm afraid I didn't like it . Sorry and please don't hate me .
jimbob spence I love a Grindhouse movie and this one is close enough to grind house to really like. Joe McQueen does a great job and the rest of the cast is really great to. I would watch it over and over! Really love how they did the zombie thing. It gives a whole new approach for zombie apocalypse movies. Can't wait to see what Aaron Carter is gonna do next. Would really love to see him team up with someone and make a grind house set. I know it would be awesome! Zombie movies done right. Give it a chance and watch it. Don't just knock before you watch. It's B rate but at it's finest. If you like a good B rate movie and grind house movies. Then you will like this one.
Crimson Executioner I watched Aaron K. Carter's film with a group of friends at an online movie-and-chat site that I moderate, and I'll say right off the bat that the movie was very well received. It caught the attention of our viewers at the very beginning and held it until the very end. I personally consider it one of the best independent films we've ever shown. I really liked the way that Carter handled the zombies ("rottens" as they're called in this movie), showing only glimpses of them until the final sequence. The ending itself was startling and memorable and (thankfully) left the way open to a sequel.The guest actors -- Irwin Keyes ("House of 1000 Corpses"), Ben Woolf ("American Horror Story: Freakshow"), Joe McQueen ("Confessions of a Superhero"), Tony Della Catena ("Colors"), and Juliette Danielle ("The Room")-- were fun to watch (and watch out for), and McQueen in particular was a real asset to the film. The acting overall was first-rate, particularly for an independent film. Carter avoids the clichés of many zombie films, and the emphasis is on story and character rather than on gore. There is none of the amateurish look and feel that characterizes so many independently made horror films. The only "criticism" I heard from our group was that some of our viewers thought that Kevin Beardsley played the part of Rusty too broadly. But none of them picked up on the fact that he also played the character of Zeke. To me, that's good acting when someone plays two roles and no one notices. Also, no one noticed that the actress playing the lead character switched midway through the movie. Another example of good acting (and directing). There are number of clever references to "The Wizard of Oz" (apart from the fact that the movie takes place in Kansas), which gave me an even greater appreciation of the movie. Although initially made as a five-part web series over a period of many months (hence the need to switch lead actresses after the first one got visibly pregnant), the movie has an overall coherence with a logical beginning, middle, and end, and doesn't look like five separate pieces arbitrarily strung together. All in all, I found this to be an impressive first film, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of Carter's work.
