Almost Dead (2016) Reviews
Slow, but decent setting if you can ignore the terrible lead character (Spoilers)
I can understand the low rating based on people expecting a normal action packed zombie flick and/or a lead character you weren't hoping would get eaten so someone else could take the role. This is more like one scene stretched out to let the director go into detail about one person's encounter with the apocalypse. A woman with her mouth duct taped shut and arms tied together regains consciousness in a car that hit a tree at least some distance into the woods. The driver appears dead and our protagonist is left to explore the surrounding area with an injured leg and a flashlight adding to the eerie nighttime setting. A nearby torn up dead body tells us there is more going on than just a traffic accident or some weird attempted kidnapping. Some temporary amnesia (a weak plot device admittedly) from a head injury form the accident prevents the main character from recalling exactly what is going on, but by the fifteen minute mark it's pretty clear it's serious and she has to take shelter in the car as the undead start to show up. What develops is an increasingly desperate situation, terrible acting, and inane dialogue. Some of the story is moronic like her getting out of the car to walk ten feet to find a friend on the phone (where did he come from?) and the lead actress is pretty terrible, but the the grim situation she finds herself in is firmly in the spirit of a zombie outbreak. Tip to the Director - your lead character cant be a Dr who works at the CDC and completely pathetic at the same time. It's not consistent because they are generally pretty competent people trained to deal with emergencies. The accent didnt help matters. Like why would she have a thick accent and her sister speak perfect English? For that matter, saying nothing would be better than some of the terrible lines she delivers. Okay, it's pretty bad, but if you use your imagination to picture it having a good script and being well acted it would be a good setting for a movie. Eight stars for the genre and setting, 1 star for the terrible lead actress, execution and script.
Terrible Acting-Terrible editing, boring story.
This is The worst movie I have ever sat through. I wanted to see what the twist at the end was, so I forwarded through the whole movie. The acting is terrible. It doesn't make any sense. This Doctor Who works for the CDC should be confident, and should have the need to help people. But not this one. Plus she has an accent and her sister doesn't. Yet they work in the same place. This movie is a waste of time.
All the main character does is cry and sit in a car
If your into a crying hot mess with amnesia that sits in a car than this is the movie for you!
HORRIBLE
Even if the story was decent, the characters of the movie are a different story. The main character is so annoying that you wish she was bit or killed. I don't know if that's the way she was written or if it was the actress but I wish she had died. That's how bad she is. I only stuck with the movie because I wanted to see what happened. If your bord watch it but I'm warning you...you'll want to reach into the screen and kill her yourself.
Decent low-budget effort if still somewhat flawed
Waking up in a wrecked car, a bound woman with no memory of her situation is suddenly thrust into a fight for her life when she discovers a series of flesh-eating zombies swarming around her car and must use what little resources she has available in order to stave off becoming one of the undead herself. This was a surprisingly enjoyable effort. What really works nicely for this one is the unique setup that starts the film off which gives the film a mysterious start. Taking the idea of her being in the middle of the woods, completely unaware of what's going on and must first free herself and then try to get her bearings while the zombies start coming appearing on the scene. Alongside the phone calls she continually tries to place in order to understand what's happening, this setup offers an intriguing start to things. That turns the action in these scenes to be highly enjoyable. The main setting off a crashed car in the woods offers up plenty of nice scenes where the zombies swarm around the car and take on a series of frantic confrontations as they attempt to break in. The first encounter with the doomed fellow survivor and the failed escape that have to force them back inside offers a nice starting point for some of the later action where she has to stop the infected who were in the car with her. Armed with a finely emotional finale that gives this a nice gut-punch while also displaying some really effective zombie make-up and gore, these all help this one overall. There are some flaws to be had here. The main issue is the fact that the film can't really overcome its low-budget limitations. The fact that this one has to stay inside the car and rarely ventures outside as this only manages to feature several sojourns outside the car, and even then it only lasts for a few brief moments before retreating back inside, leaves this one quite obvious with what's going on. Likewise, with well over half the movie featuring her on the phone learning about what's going on with the backstory about the virus that eats up the running time without having a lot of zombie action present here which keeps this one down for the most part. The other real flaw here is the lack of rationale given the story that is just hard to grasp. The main problem with that is the fact that a big deal was made of her phones' battery about to die, yet without charging it they're able to talk the entire movie which really is quite a huge error to overlook. On top of that, the whole point of the conversations in the first place offers up an endless round of questions that range from in-universe questions to filmmaking tactics, going so far as to include why they continually switch accents for the characters during the conversations. It's all rather suspect and really holds this one back. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
