- TriviaThe director, Drew Cullingham, met his now wife, Victoria, while shooting Shed of the Dead. She was the production co-ordinator. They have since had a little girl called Indiana who, by the magic of additional green screen shooting in post, actually appears in a pram in the back of a shot during the film!

Featured review
Right, well given the fact that this movie holds everything I enjoy, the recipe was ripe for a grand movie experience. I mean, it included roleplaying nerd stuff, it was a zombie movie, it had Kane Hodder and Bill Moseley on the cast list, so what could possibly go wrong?
Well, if you add in the factor that the movie had a horrible script and uninteresting characters, well, then chances are fairly big that the movie was going to be a suckfest. And so it was. I wanted to enjoy this movie, I so thoroughly wanted to enjoy this movie, but I just found no such thing here. And I ended up with my phone in hand, checking social media more than once throughout the course of "Shed of the Dead".
The script in "Shed of the Dead" was just so mundane and generic that it wasn't even fun to watch. The movie offered nothing that haven't already been seen many times before. But that wasn't really what killed off the movie, because many zombie movies are like that, but it was the horribly boring character gallery that finished it off. The characters had the appeal of wet cardboard. And, for me, it was only Kane Hodder and Bill Moseley that made it worth sitting through this ordeal of a movie, and they were hardly even supportive characters.
The zombie make-up was adequate, but don't expect to see ghastly gore and mutilation like in the likes of "The Walking Dead". No, "Shed of the Dead" is definitely not a massive budget movie, and it bears witness to that on the screen.
Even all the geeky appeal was drowned out in the rubbish of a flatlining story and script and indistinct characters that were as pointless as they were irrelevant.
"Shed of the Dead" is by no means a grand addition to the zombie genre, and it came and left without leaving much of a groan, and not even managing to take a bite. But hey, at least Hodder and Moseley were together on the screen again.
I was disappointed with this movie, I kid you not. I truly and honestly was. I had such hopes for this movie, none of which came to fruition. My rating of "Shed of the Dead" ends on a decomposing three fingers out of ten. Not even my fanboy zombie spirit got a jolt out of this one...
