I love living dead/zombie films, but when a company like Asylum, who is famous for ripping off blockbusters, delivers more originality, better acting and better script in their films than the clearly well financed Netflix vehicle, then you wonder where all the money went.
Let see....
A CGI tiger that contributes nothing to the story and isn't a compliment to Siegried and Roy at all. Don't they know what happened back in 2003 and Siefried passed away ?
Cover songs like bad moon rising are being used, a song usually associated with werewolves and since this story takes place during the day, it was rather pointless,
Yes, the living dead make-up was actually very good. I'm sure, it must have cost a lot of money to make Las Vegas to look like that, although they could have filmed it around my corner in London which looks exactly like its set and many people around here could have been perfect for extras. The story is simple , it has been written very simple and delivered with simplicity. The problem is that the story has been done so many times and so, so much better, more developed with far better side stories, which, in this film if there are any, aren't really original either. Throw in a masked horse (is it supposed to be a zombie horse?) and the holes appear bigger than they are.
Acting and characteristics are non-existing. Jokes fall flat . And did I miss something or hasn't there been no explanation why there are dumb zombies and intelligent zombies? Or why the smart ones can go outside, while the dumb ones sleep in the dark? The more I write, the more questions start occurring . And last but not least... what's up with casting Tig Notaro? I know she was cast after the other actor was cut, and she is great and all, but couldn't they have found someone else more suitable instead of making her look like Murdoch from the A-Team?
So, do yourself a favour. Skip this film and put on a low budget zombie film, you will have more fun even if it is for the wrong reasons. This is definitely not a so bad it's good film. Just a very expensive looking bad film.
