Fight Of The Living Dead (2015/Cinedigm DVD)


Picture: B- Sound: B- Extras: C- Film: C-



Primarily shot in a prison with security cameras and hidden cameras, this web series features several teams of young Youtube stars including Joey Graceffa, Jesse and Jeana (Prank vs Prank), Justine Ezarik (iJustine), Iman Crosson (Alphacat), Meghan Camarena (Strawburry17), Olga Kay and more, as they face challenges in an attempt to eliminate each other from the competition while trying to survive the zombie outbreak. In essence, the show is about people walking through a haunted house but the concept is interesting enough to give a chance.


Shot over the course of two days at Sybil Brand Women's Prison in Los Angeles, competitors were first blindfolded, driven in circles, led onto the set, and zipped into body bags, all to help simulate the all-too-real tension of awaking in a post-apocalyptic landscape riddled by monsters out for blood. The concept of the show is pretty interesting as they are instructed by a faceless character named Dr. Altagracia, the contestants are tasked with finding the antidote that can save mankind.


Enlisting over 200 extras as cool to mediocre looking Zombies, FX Supervisor Tommy Pietch ( of the popular SyFy Network show Face Off) lends his skill to bringing zombies to live that are all tasked with keeping the competitors from accomplishing their mission.


Getting more than 9 million views since premiering on a streaming digital network, this 'reality' competition will either thrill or bore you, depending on how much you enjoy these types of shows. Presented in standard definition anamorphic 16 X 9 widescreen and an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and paired with a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 track, the transfer here is standard and nothing to really write home about.


Extras are light and feature a making of and character profiles. You can access individual episodes or watch them as all as a feature presentation.


Perhaps with bigger celebrities, a bigger budget, some better actors, and a more appealing prize, this show could be a bit more interesting than it is but I've definitely seen worse.
