The film opens as a mystery as we see a group of women care for another and a man abducts people looking for what appears to be his daughter and then killing the victim.. We discover in this low budget film, the women have a disease/ affliction which causes them to have to eat human flesh and organs to survive. They buy organs and feed off of Johns. That is pretty much it.The film appears to be a statement about life in general, in how we all must feed off of "dead creatures" in order to survive, especially people who eat meat. It asks the question, "What's the point?" if everything dies so something else can live. It makes it a little more personal when one has to eat human flesh and do their own killing.The film itself consisted of the most boring reluctant cannibals ever assembled.Guide: F-bomb. Brief sex and nudity.
... View MoreIt was a while since i saw this movie but scenes in it still flashes before me. I love this movie.First of all, the way its filmed makes you think its a documentary and it adds such a real feel to it. This film wouldn't have been as good if it was more professional made... the "documentary" feeling really put the feeling going.Secondly, it's a good alternate "zombie" idea.If you like high action blow up scenes or zombies that walks slower than grandma, go see another movie.If you want something different with a good feeling. I personally recommend this... I've told all my friends about it... to the point the just saw it to shut me up haha!
... View MoreThere has been some interesting horror films emerging from the UK in recent years, and 'Dead Creatures' is yet another in my opinion. Whilst Japan and perhaps other parts of Europe have contributed to a 'revival' of certain horror sub-genres, Britain has quietly been producing some fantastic horror films.Set in contemporary London, we largely follow the lives of a seemingly normal bunch of women - one of whom is decomposing badly, and just looks absolutely disgusting. There are a couple of single 'zombie' guys depicted in the film also. The deliberately slow pace of the film eventually reveals that these people have contracted a strange virus, resulting in an urge to eat human flesh. Luring victims via various means, we bear witness to some gruesome images of cannibalism. Unlike other zombie films, these creatures are not green-gray skinned uncontrollable maniacs, but intelligent and emotional beings. They do not physically transform immediately either, but rot over a period of 12 to 18 months. Meanwhile, a mysterious man is hunting these 'zombies' primarily for the purpose of extracting information. After gaining some information, he kills these zombies in a gruesome but effective manner, before dismembering and disposing of the bodies.Dead Creatures is obviously low budget, and looks it in parts. Look closely and you'll notice occasional camera shadows on the actors, or even a crew member darting off in the distance to avoid the camera! Yet no expense appears to have been spared for the horror effects, which seem gut-wrenchingly realistic. It's difficult to draw comparison to other films. The aura of starkness and dread reminded me slightly of the atmosphere evoked in Pete Walker's 'Frightmare' (1974). There appears to be a direct homage made to the bathtub scene in 'Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer' (1986). In this case the zombie women used a hacksaw to dismember a fellow zombie in the bathtub, lifting her head out of the bathtub in the same manner as Henry! I also noticed that one of the female actors wore a t-shirt of Russ Meyer's 'Super Vixens' (1976), and another later on depicting the silhouette of the 70's TV soap 'Charlie's Angels'. Not sure if the director intended to imply that these women were cannibalistic vigilantes, but that's how I interpreted it! This film is definitely worth a look if you are interested in the zombie genre. It is certainly something completely different, and quite unlike any other zombie film I have seen. Just don't expect thrill-a-minute action. This is not that type of film.
... View MoreOk I will sum up this movie... A bunch of skanky British women have some disease that basically is turning them into zombies. The whole movie consists of these women talking, smoking, and rarely going out for "meat" Or humans to eat. I swear I had to MAKE myself watch this movie... UGH
