The Dead Ones

Moviecut—The Dead Ones

Four students are forced to clean up the mess in Arcadia High School. We have no introduction of who they are or what they did. This comes out in the flashbacks. As it turns out they are trapped in the school and each student has their own personal issues. PLOT SPOILER. What becomes very clear early on is that this is an existential film. The film does seem to drag at a few scenes, but I did like the ending. Brandon Thane Wilson gave an excellent performance. He reminded me of Sean Astin who gives his all, even in "B" films. Guide: F-word. Implied sex. No nudity.

This is really a great film, and Jeremy Kasten has done a fantastic job directing it. It's a film about a school shooting, but it is told as a supernatural film, which I don't think has been done before, and the result is a very powerful moving film about a major problem we have in America. The young actors are uniformly excellent, and the surreal imagery is something you won't forgot too soon. The plot involves four students assigned to clean up their school after there has been some type of catastrophe. The four kids are not alone though. There are four school shooters based on the four horsemen of the apocalypse who look the kids in the school and then hunt them down. This leads to many revelations about the characters and why they behave and act the way they do. There is a lot of great gore and special effects that will definitely attract horror fans. This is an important movie that tackles a very important phenomenon, school shooting (and violence in general). It is a brave and uncompromising film and viewers should be pleasantly surprised by the film. The visual effects in particular are excellent. Another winner from director Jeremy Kasten.

This movie really is better than the 3.1 and the reviews led you to believe. I usually give a movie like this or this genre about 15 to 20 minutes to engage me enough to continue to watch it. I was actually going to give up on this movie within that time frame but then got drown in. The reason for this was the cgi and green screen work up to 15 minutes or so was extremely amateurish. Then the movie found another gear and didn't stop excellerating till the end. I loved the story line even though at times it gets a little confusing. I believe this movie deserves to be watched for what it is and where it goes. Definitely needs more than a 3.1 rating.

This is a little ephistel about a sinister phenomenon of today, namely more or less planned shootings at crowds, concerts and in schools. i let myself in to this havoc just to see how much horror it really was .and im sorry to say its not a horror film, rather a kind of psychoslasher with parapsycholigical vibes, and hallusinative schizoactivity, made so on the intent to scare, and hopefully not to be copycated. 4 youths has been reprimanded and set to clean up the mess at their school after a bloody hit at their school. unwilling they are, and they all notice the school is completely locked down. at the same time well get glimpses of 4 sinister mask wearing guys with strobonomic voices, on the hunt for something. as the cleaning proceeds, there are lots of spooky things and messy visions that occurs in front of the pupils, and they find an unconnected tvscreen that shows filmed footage of the ordeal... the rest i will not spoil, but its dark messy and not easy devourable for a fainthearted sole. why make films like this, hmmmm thats the big question of today. it has a bizzare feel of unconscious brainwashing of todays youth and i will not recommend a view by kids, if youre an committed and conscious adult, stay away from this at the saturday family dinner. its gross and wild, the grumpy old man thinks

Assigned to a summer detention class, a group of outcast students cleaning up after hours begins to suspect something is following them for a past trauma committed at the school involving a group of armed masked shooters and must try to get out of the school alive before those incidents threaten to consume the group. This was a somewhat problematic entry. Among the few positives to be had here is the film's highly enjoyable brutality dished out the few times we see the gang cut loose and get crazy on their victims. The bluntness and absolutely unnerving manner in which they play with their victims and begin shooting up the school in the flashback is a fantastic way to get some positives going as there's an enjoyable aspect to the brutality and bloodshed offered in cold, stark fashion with the way they mow victims down or begin slashing at them. However, outside of the creepy masks they wear, that's all this has going for it. This one does have some issues with it. Among the biggest problems is the complete and total lack of any kind of explanation for anything. The idea of the kids staying after hours at the school is never discussion as we don't get any idea what their infraction was that sent them there or why no adult is keeping an eye on them as they seem to be there as punishment. However, with no teacher keeping an eye on them to ensure they complete it or backstory about what their history is since we're just dropped into this without much info about them making it incredibly difficult to care about them bickering and fighting at the very beginning. That carries over into the biker gang terrorizing the school, as we get absolutely nothing about them at all. They seem to show up to the school randomly without any kind of purpose or plan as to what's going on, go out of their way to avoid the group until it comes time to attack them and are acting like such spastic weirdoes it seems unlikely they'd be able to accomplish anything given their erratic outbursts and barely any information given about what they're attempting. Even that little bit of information doesn't amount to much as it gets muddled through the tactics they're trying to accomplish it with. The other problem with this one is the seemingly disjointed plotline that doesn't make any kind of sense whatsoever. The main idea of this one makes no sense with the flashbacks to the rampage going concurrently with their real-life struggles which is incredibly convoluted and confusing, especially once it brings in a quasi-supernatural feel that has no business being in the storyline. It changes what's going on and does so for no reason, turning this into a jumbled, confusing mess and completes the uninterest generated by the rest of the film. This is the biggest drawback to this one and effectively ruins what could've been with this one. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

This movie tries something very experimental and honestly drug inducing caw caw. The type of plot is something straight out of a small budget anime series. It's main plot is around a school being attacked and it is quite graphic caw caw however some of the cgi being is downright laughable caw caw. I also learned today that being a professional "maggot wrangler" is a job caw caw. Give it a watch if your in the mood for something very experimental. Otherwise this is a hard pass caw caw. No nudity or real good gore caw caw.

This is not for those that are triggered by school shooting... Four teenagers are attending detention for an awful incident they all participated in during a school shooting. It has a supernatural elements linked to horror from the past. It is very disjointed & I could not easily follow what was going on. It is as though the film makers made this high on some illegal drugs. The murder scenes are done so nonchalantly & I gave up in trying to understand the killer's motives.... It is not an easy watch but the supernatural elements did nothing but confuse/ distract you.
