The Walking Deceased (2015/Aristar/Arc DVD)


Picture: B- Sound: B- Extras: D Film: D



With the tagline, imagine a world were the dead are smarter than the living, basically sums up perfectly the hot mess that this film is. The Walking Deceased is a spoof of modern zombie films like Warm Bodies, Zombieland, and of course The Walking Dead all thrown in a blender. However, it doesn't quite work. Maybe with some better actors and maybe a cameo or two worth mentioning this could have been more effective.


The film stars Dave Sheridan, Tim Ogletree, Joey Oglesby, Sophie Taylor, and Danielle Gracia and is directed by Scott Dow. The production level is about as low as the humor and the makeup is pretty unimpressive. The purpose is to obviously make some bank off the namesake while the pop culture iron is hot... however this spoof didn't even make it to theaters and will appeal only to an adolescent audience.


After waking from a coma, Sheriff Lincoln (a play on Walking Dead's star Andrew Lincoln who plays Rick Grimes) realizes that he is in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. He reunites with his son Chris and joins several other survivors, including four friends who use city names as aliases and a zombie named Romeo who is looking for love, to find the Safe Haven Ranch, where they expect to be safe from the zombies.


Sound and Picture on the disc are standard for DVD with an anamorphic aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 track. Nothing too fancy but passable for the inferior format as compared to Blu ray.


No extras.
