Storyline

Legend tells of a creature unlike any known to man. Some say it's the devil's most prized invention. A creature which takes on the characteristics of those who have slain it, as well as those which it has slain. A creature that can be destroyed again and again only to come back stronger every time. A creature named The Sorcalak. Unfortunately, seven stereotypical horror film characters on a religious retreat are headed straight for it.

A COMEDIC HORROR MOVIE THAT COULD BE A CULT CLASSIC!

Move over Sam Raimi, you got competition! Dead Undead is a nice little comedic thriller made in the same vein as Raimi's Evil Dead and Army of Darkness Classic's.You can see the impact and influence Raimi has had on other Michigan filmmakers. These filmmakers have learned Raimi's lessons well. It is hard to believe they shot this movie in under a week and for only $1000. The comedy, the horror, the suspense is all there in a very well told story. Some higher budget horror movies that came out were not as good as this. This movie might not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you loved the Evil Dead Army of Darkness series of movies then this fits right in there. This movie would make the master Michigan moviemaker Raimi proud that he had students of his films that did such a nice job of trying to follow in his footsteps. The movie was very atmospheric and the story was excellent. The acting was tongue in cheek and not bad for first time efforts of the cast. The only thing missing was a young and new Bruce Campbell. All, in all this was one entertaining film. A film that Michigan and independent film fans can proudly look to.This is a nice little horror movie that I am sure in time will be a cult classic.I look forward to this groups next movie.If it's half as entertaining as Dead Undead it will be great!
