Reviews

ThiefHott Too much of everything
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Nigel P This wonderfully directed zombie film is the sequel to 2010's 'The Dead' which featured an army of the living dead making their deadly way across Africa. Here, as you might imagine, a similar cataclysm has infected India.What I really enjoy about this is Directors Howard and Jonathan Ford's worthy use of the incredible landscapes, and the clever way in which such sun-drenched open spaces can either be breathtakingly beautiful or deadly and remote.The casting is very good, with Joseph Millson as the only Westerner Nicholas Burton – a refreshingly likable, ego-free central character – and Ishani Sharma (Meenu Mishra), his pregnant girlfriend. Unsurprisingly, her condition does not please her father (Sandip Datta Gupta), who is otherwise concerned with his own infected wife (Poonam Mathur).Where this stumbles a little is in the actual storyline, which is basically Burton and the appealing orphaned boy Javed (Anand Goyal) with whom he meets, continually attempting to escape the attentions of unthreatening, lurching zombies. Instead of a progressing narrative, certain set-pieces stand out – Ishani's questioning of Hinduism and its teachings of reincarnation which is in direct contrast to the walking cadavers causing carnage around them, for one. Another involves a mother and daughter trapped in a car with the corpse of the husband and father, with the living dead trudging ever forward. Telling them to cover their ears whilst he shoots away the lock to the seat that traps them, Burton then shoots them both dead instead. And, although the zombies are not always the most frightening or energetic, scenes of them standing, swaying, waiting, scattered across the unforgiving landscape while Burton attempts to escape them are very effective.
FlashCallahan An 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.
GL84 As a zombie plague threatens India, a man and the orphan he picks up along the way try to deal with the influx of the ravenous creatures on his plans to return to the city for his pregnant lover and escape the zombie-infested country.Overall this one wasn't all that bad and provided a lot to like here. What works the best here is the fact that there's just no rest allowed throughout here from the zombie massacre, which is really from the start here on throughout the rest of the film. With the initial encounters starting just minutes after the opening credits and basically put forth from that point onward, there's hardly any let-up here as the encounters with the swarm continually provide this one with plenty of enjoyable scenes throughout the landscape filled with zombies that provide this one with plenty of high-quality scenes. The initial attack on their fortress is quite enjoyable with the creatures creating some rather impressive moments here amongst all the panic and chaos creating a dizzying confusion that's incredibly exciting, the early scenes of him stumbling onto the truth about the plague with the various quick encounters here leaving this one with a rather impressive set of action scenes of him fighting through the hordes at the hang-gliders' office and the group swarming through the lost village in the desert as these have plenty of rather fun encounters. Even later ones in the hut with the zombie children and the large assault on the swarm with the soldiers moving into the city provide this one with plenty of action and outstanding gore effects with their being blasted in the head continuously while also offering up plenty of traditional bites and gut- munching displayed here to really give this one a lot to like. There's also a few small flaws here in the fact of this one coming off pretty much like a retread of the original on in a new country which allows for a different culture atmosphere to permeate the film as the main selling point between the two. There's not a whole lot different here that really warrants the difference in country-specific setting as done here, and that even runs into the film's other problem in this one being basically a road-movie plot line that runs throughout here. That happened in the first one, and continues here with this one based on having brief, quick encounters as the need to flee is the main survival instinct at hand so while there's a ton of action it doesn't have the grand, epic action scene rather than dozens of brief encounters to move this along since they need to keep going away from them, which also popped up in the first one. Otherwise, this one had a lot of great parts to make it enjoyable.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and for strong themes of children-in-jeopardy.
gauravp When 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 !!
