With this 2016 movie "Almost Dead" being a zombie movie, of course I would sit down and watch it, as I am a big fan of all things zombie.
"Almost Dead" did have some parts to it that were interesting. They weren't many, and they weren't enough to make up for all the shortcomings that the movie suffered from.
What went wrong with the storyline in "Almost Dead" from writers Giorgio Bruno, Davide Chiara and Daniele Pace is the fact that the complete story takes place in or in the close vicinity of a crashed car, with a couple of zombies milling about outside. It was just too ludicrous and nowhere near fulfilling enough to maintain a feature length movie.
Plus the fact that the script was watered down and basically so simple that it could have fit on a single A4 piece of paper didn't really help to improve on the movie's entertainment value.
As for the acting in the movie, well it was semi-adequate, taking into consideration the severe limitations in terms of a poor script, an almost non-existing storyline and characters that were blank sheets of paper.
The zombie make-up was sort of adequate, but we weren't really treated to enough zombies to actually get to see an abundance of zombie make-up. But at least you knew it was zombies.
The ending of the movie was actually the best part of the entire ordeal that is "Almost Dead". I will not spoil anything, so you have to endure through the movie to get to it.
The movie's title is quite fitting, as almost dead is how you'll feel once to you through the 1 hour and 25 minutes the movie runs. This 2018 zombie movie from director Giorgio Bruno is hardly a mentionable addition to the zombie genre. It is a movie that came and left without as much as a groan or a bite.
I am rating "Almost Dead" a generous four out of ten stars solely because it is a zombie movie and it does have some bright moments - they weren't many - but they were there.
