The Dead 2 - BLU-RAY

The Ford Brothers do it again. Enjoyed the movie more than the first one. If you are a fan of the zombie genre, you will like this movie. It admittedly follows some of the plot lines of the first movie; but they mix in some different ingredients to the storyline to keep it fresh. SPOILER ALERT: The main characters travel buddy does not get eaten by the zombies. I would still recommend this more as a rental and not for purchase, unless you collect movies of this type.

The Dead, the original movie was absolutely incredible. A unique take on the zombie story. The Dead 2 is just really a retelling of the first story. It is by all means not bad and if this is the first movie you get to see in this series, then you are in for a treat when you get to see the original first movie.

Not as good as the first but still entertaining. The setting changes from Africa to India during a zombie outbreak . The main character must survive long enough to save his Girlfriend and their unborn baby. A little slow at times but it has its moments. Recommended

Bluray version - good color saturation, good sound design for the movie. Not a follow-on of The Dead #1 movie, but based on the same concept but taking place in India. Movie starts out great, fast moving and well done. Then it falls apart. Action scenes are filmed in a camera sea-sick mode where they shake the camera to emphasize motion. Made me almost want to loose my cookies a few times. As the movie goes on, it really slows down. I only nodded off twice. The traveling scenes had little or no action. Movie also lacked a Technical director. When you run over a zombie, and your vehicle suffers no damage, why would you leave it and start walking? When will they learn that you can't get 50 shots out of a 7 round magazine? As always, the main actor makes lots of stupid decisions, intended to make the viewer upset at his actions. Like, why would you walk into a group of zombies instead of walking around them? (Railroad track scene). The ending was a big let-down. Spoiler alert - they ended up trapped in an underground room. Why? Is there a The Dead #3? I hope not. The disc comes with Deleted Scenes - (only two of them), where the second deleted scene was blurry. The actual video was blurry. That tends to show that they rushed this movie into production and didn't care about quality at the end. Save your money, wait to watch it when it's free or in the $1.99 bin.

I thought it was a good movie, although I did like the first one better. Some parts are a bit gory, but the action fit the movie.
