Episode 308: Night of the Living Dead Resurrection vs Deadlocked

Send us a text

It is battle of the shit biscuits tonight as I pit Amazon against TUBI, the slop bucket of cinema versus the cesspool of slime with Night of the Living Dead Resurrection and Deadlocked.

What can I say about Night of the Living Dead Resurrection on Amazon, a Welsh movie that tries to steal as much from Romero's 1969 classic as possible whilst retaining nothing? A movie that ends with the line "throw her in the rape van" when the zombie apocalypse literally started the day before. A movie with a black character called Ben, in a white shirt and trousers, who has Karen Cooper from the original as his phone background image, but then blows his brains out after 15 mins and we are left with a pointless Welsh family who we have no sympathy for. Rubbish. Unoriginal.

2/10

And from TUBI we have Deadlocked. Not our first zombie movie set in an elevator, but certainly the worst. TBF compared to NOTLDR this is fucking Shakespeare, director by Spielberg, scored by Morricone. It isn't, of course, it is an overly dramatic but of annoying characters with more drama than a season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as cop Lee, perp Mason, wannabe actor Connor, runaway Jacqui and alcoholic Olivia get stuck in an elevator as the zombie apocalypse happens outside.

Not as good as the Italian movie The End? but certainly better than is rival in this episode.
