The film centers on Nicolas (Joseph Millson) an American working in India on a wind farm. He is up on a windmill talking to his Indian chamber maid pregnant girlfriend when all hell breaks loose. The film consists of him crossing desert by car, bike, foot, and that flying thing in an attempt to reach her.Like the zombies, the characters are rather lifeless. The zombies have zombie teeth, and walk in half steps...unless a gun is fired then they swarm and move fast, like piranha who never attack until someone yells "Piranha!"The film includes the problem of western ideas vs. prearranged marriages, a theme used in 99% of Bollywood films, but failed to have a musical number.The Ford brothers attempt to take the zombie film up a notch by creating faux-drama and unnecessary metaphors as zombies are their own metaphor. If you liked the slow moving first film, I will say this one is better.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
... View MoreSequel to the much acclaimed The Dead (2010). On part of the effects when the zombies are biting in the human flesh that's okay. But what do makes it a bit cheesy is the fact that the main lead comes in contact with an orphan and takes him on his journey to save his girl.Even that, that an American man falls for an Indian girl makes it awkward. Not that it isn't possible but she's pregnant of him and of course the father doesn't agree because he's deciding who she's going to marry.So when the dead finally attacks India he has to save her an take her home to the US. And the orphan follows him all the way. That could deliver some nice action but it wasn't. Once the orphan is saved this flick becomes better especially the railroad scene with the crashed car. Still, it isn't a bad flick due the way it was shot, excellent of course just like in part 1. Can't say that I was sitting on the edge of my chair, not really any suspense. A bit of Romeo and Julliet story combined with those damned biters. But the main question is, how many bullets can a gun take?Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3,5/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5
... View MoreAn infectious epidemic spreads rapidly through India as an American turbine engineer learns that his pregnant girlfriend is trapped near the slums of Mumbai. Now he must battle his way across a 300-mile wasteland of the ravenous undead, helping people in their hour of need while racing to rescue his girlfriend and unborn child.Having never seen the first movie, and the slew of straight to DVD horror movies appearing literally every week on the shelves of several stores, my expectations for this film were virtually non-existent.And while the film suffers from your usual problems with low budget movies (bad CGI, some questionable acting), it's an effective old school horror movie, and in essence, it's an old fashioned love story of a man going above and beyond his means to be with the one he loves.As a Zombie movie, it's atypically generic, which is very refreshing for a change because recent Zombie movies have tried to give there own spin on the Romero led genre, and as a grown man who sometimes wonders how you'd survive through a Zombie Apocalypse (let's face it, we all have), I think everyone would prefer to have the slow moving zombies rather than the running, intelligent ones.Millson is great as the boyfriend on a mission, and his journey is unbelievably harrowing in some scenes, and there is one particular scene involving him and a mother and child trapped a car that would put the ending of the mist to shame.He teams up with a young child for the majority of the film, and at times I was reminded of the chemistry between Ford and Huy Quan in a Temple Of Doom, there's a paternal element to their relationship, and it's the most believable part of the film.Whilst travelling through India to rescue his girlfriend, he encounters a lot of segregation all type violence, and there are a few riffs on the class factor that affects large countries, but also, it reminded me so much of Resident Evil 5, the film has the same tension as the game, and the zombies, no matter how far or close they are, still have that same effect the had since Romero let them loose.It's easily the best 'traditional' Zombie movie since Dawn Of The Dead, it's terrifically written, shot, and the score is pretty haunting.The only negatives I have, is the way the subplot involving the girlfriend is handled (a very soap opera kind of feel to it), and a really random twist at the end involving a the young boy and leaving his teddy bear behind, a total misfire.But otherwise, if you like this sub-genre of horror film, you'll be in for a treat.
... View MoreWhen the Little Guy Javed helped him to get the car.Its number was DL3C E 6704 till 00:39:38 (timeline) & when they ran-away the car's number plate changed in to RJ19 C 4325 at 00:39:46.. That's was way too stupid that Director thought viewers wouldn't notice such silly mistake. Other than this movie is quite a routine zombie with so many flaws. He dropped his pistol before saving Javed when they first but the pistol automatically appear with him. He got a desi pistol from the petrol pump and during his journey it seems like he has got a German automatic... To be honest if someone is making a movie he/ she must not play with the basics with the silly hope that viewers are moron's !!
