Review of Brain Dead

Brain Dead (2007)
3/10
Tries too hard for laughs, falls flat
11 December 2022
Quite a strange zombie horror comedy film. The plot is relatively simple and something in which we have seen many times before. Group of strangers end up locked in a cabin in the middle of nowhere while a villain (in this case alien zombies?) are trying to kill them (eat their brains- hence the title).

The acting is subpar. The lead character Clarence tries too hard in being funny, delivering cheesy one liners every so often. Perhaps more so a result of the writing but his delivery is terrible.

The reverend is the typical preacher type. The lead women don't have much sense and the zombies are pretty clueless, with the make up design on them are uninspired.

Some decent over the top gruesome looking kills (many blowing up head shots). Scene by the lake about 12 mins in is one of the highlights.

Otherwise this film is nowhere near as good as a lot of these IMDB reviews are claiming. They seem to be massively over hyping it, for whatever reason.
