I stumbled upon "Dead Heist" in 2019, and I hadn't even heard about it before now, 12 years after it was released. I took a look at the synopsis and of course I had to watch it as it was a zombie movie.
Little did I know what I was walking into here.
First of all, I must say that it was an ordeal to sit through "Dead Heist" and listen to the actors speaking and behaving like gangstas. It was so difficult to take anyone serious, especially because that whole gangsta attitude, attire and demeanor is laughable to the core. Just listening to the dialogue in "Dead Heist" made me cringe and curl my toes.
Some of the ideas that writers Anghus Houvouras, Eric Tomosunas and Bo Webb put into the movie were actually nice enough. Just a shame that the movie was so poorly executed, and the whole gangsta thing was working like an anchor dragging everything down.
The zombies in "Dead Heist" were horrible. It was the low budget zombie make-up and special effects. You know, where you paint the faces gray and darken circles around the eyes, but forgetting about the neck, arms, legs and all other places of exposed skin. And the fact that they were running zombies didn't really sit well with me either.
I did manage to sit through the entire ordeal that is known as "Dead Heist" from director Bo Webb. I wasn't particularly entertained, but it being a zombie movie, of course it needed a chance. And chances are none here that I will ever watch "Dead Heist" again.
