DEAD WEIGHT

Greetings, my shambling shuffling friends!

While attending the Wizards World in Chicago, I shambled up to a booth selling a small independently financed and filmed, zombie genre, infection movie. I was informed that a majority of the people involved in the film had no previous movie experience. Truth be told, I wasn't sure what to expect as a result, but I liked the raw footage that they were airing on a mini tv, so it captured my interest.

Now, having just finished watching this film, I can say I am in a complete state of shock and awe. I am worried my words alone will not properly convey the greatness of this film and the fact, that I have no doubt, that this film is going to launch an amazing movie career for the creative team behind it.

'DEAD WEIGHT'
Written and Directed by: Adam Bartlett and John Pata

Starring: Joe Belknap, Mary Lindberg, Aaron Christensen, Michelle Courvais, Sam Lenz, and Jess Ader

'Dead Weight' is the story of a man, named Charlie, who becomes separated from his girlfriend at the start of the zombie apocalypse and spends weeks traveling through the countryside to meet up with her in Wassau, WI. During that time he, and the rest of his traveling companions, face the worst that mankind has to offer. Both inside and outside of their group.

So let us get to the meat of the G.R.E.A.T. review.

G-ore: 'Dead Weight' is light on the gore, but even though no flesh was ripped from screaming bodies, this movie rises above all that and delivers a fantastic story. 7

R-ealism: 100% This is exactly how I would picture human interactions while traveling in a post apocalyptic world. Along the way, some people will be friendly souls and some will be complete scum who take for their own selfish pursuits. 10

E-ntertainment: The story is so good that nothing's predictable. 'Dead Weight' was a much better movie then a lot of junk that gets churned out of Hollywood. Even those that are backed by big names and big money. 9.5

A-cting: The stars of 'Dead Weight' are basically unknowns and yet their performances were exceptional. One part in particular, was a death scene of a nice man and his wife. As the husband laid there, dying, his expression burned an image into my mind that stayed with me long after the film ended. 9

T-hrills: Watching what a man would go through or do to reach his destination, will truly make you reconsider if you have the fortitude to do whatever it takes to do the same. The final actions of his girlfriend had me on the edge of my seat. 9.5

The total score for this G.R.E.A.T. review is: 9 out of 10

This film deserves a hollowed place on the top shelf of all zombie video libraries.

You can purchase 'Dead Weight' by going to www.carryingdeadweight.com. Be sure to buy the 2-disc set with the cover art, by Tony Moore of 'The Walking Dead' comic fame, as shown above.

Will Charlie have a happy reunion with his girlfriend? Or will the 'Dead Weight' of the past weigh them down?

You'll have to watch 'Dead Weight' to find out.

Thanks for reading, and until my next post, I'll be shuffling along with the lost.

Box o' Zombies

Greetings my shambling shuffeling friends!

During my travels between vendor booths at Wizard World Chicago, my vision was bombarded with images of toys, everywhere I turned.  Cute toys, smart toys, funny toys, gorey toys, but none stood out to me as much a BOX O' ZOMBIES did.

Brought to us by Immersive Realms, Inc. founded and operated by Shawn Recinto, Box O' Zombies was my favorite toy above all else.  Yes, we know that I would like almost anything zombie, but what impresses me, is how they were able to use injection molding and still get such attention to detail!

The nurse zombie carries a fine tipped needle in her hand, and you could even see that her stockings were torn.

This is series 1, and is based on the type of zombies you would encounter at an elementary school if you were a kid stuck in the zombie apocalypse, so I am more than excited to see what Mr. Recinto comes up with for series 2. 

Also available from Immersive Realms, Inc, is a ten inch Samurai Zombie statue.  This mini statue was a pure beauty to behold, and one zombie many would not survive in a movie.

There are only 100 of these Samurai Zombie statues in existance, so make sure you pic one up before they are gone for good!

You can buy these great toys from Immersive Realms Inc, by going to their website.

Descent of the Dead

 
Greetings, my shambling shuffling friends!


This past weekend, I made a trip up to Wizard World Chicago Comic Convention. If you're a super zombie fan, like myself, then you'll find Wizard World to be your Graceland.

The convention was packed with thousands upon thousands of fan boys and girls. I couldn't move ten feet without spotting another elaborate costume just begging to have its picture taken. It was through this mass madness of human bodies that my eyes stumbled upon the table display of TANGO UNLIMITED LLC. and their comic book:


'DESCENT OF THE DEAD'
Written by Rich Perez
Story Adaptation by Rage Ledbetter
Lead Art by Francis Penavic

"The year is 2176 and mankind has regained it's foothold against the Zombie Apocalypse of 1968. As the dead's numbers dwindle, some actually consider the undead to be mythical due to the rarity of encounters."

Unfortunately, for the characters in this story, the past has a way of sneaking up and biting them on the ass.

While Tango Company is dispatching the dead and retrieving a meteorite from a crater, the guarded community of Roanoke is over run by the dead, leaving it void of life. Sent into Roanoke to assess the situation, Tango Company makes a discovery that could change the dynamics of the way the human survivors will have to deal with the dead from that point forward.

No spoilers here folks, this is a comic you must read!

Time for the G.R.E.A.T. Score.

G-ore: Great drawings of the zombies! I liked the look of fear on the faces of the Roanoke residents while they were meeting their end. May they rest in pieces. 8.0

R-ealism: The future is not set in stone, but I love the fact that they named the guarded community Roanoke. It reminds me of the Roanoke colony that completely vanished 400 years ago, so I consider this an interesting spin on a classic mystery. 7.5

E-ntertainment: Good art with a hint of suspense as they investigate how the dead overran Roanoke. 7.5

A-ction: Good action that is used to bring the reader up to speed with the future and mankind's anti-zombie efforts to retake the world. 7.5

T-hrills: As I finished issue three, that cliffhanger had me angry for having to wait for issue four. 8.5

The total G.R.E.A.T. Score is: 7.8 out of 10

Will Tango Company solve the mystery of how the dead took Roanoke? Or will they lay around and catch up on some much needed rest? You will have to read issue four to find out.

Make sure you pick up 'Descent of the Dead' at www.Tangounlimitedllc.com, or www.amazon.com.

Thanks for reading and until my next post, I will be shuffling along with the lost.
