Killing UnDead for Sport

Rating: 7/10 (14 October 2009)

Was disappointed in this though considered it fairly entertaining. Particularly good was the Bill Murray sequence. My biases are that I'm a huge fan of the "Dead" movies (over 200 now, maybe?) but prefer the "better" ones (Romero) over the low-budget ones. The basic fun is being immune to killing of humans, since the "dead" are no longer human. Am also a huge Woody Harrelson fan and he delivers in this. Usually in this genre, the lead characters eventually become overwhelmed by the dead and are consumed but that's a surprise in this one. Maybe my sensibilities are "deadened" but this just seemed to drag on with more of the usual same-O. Surprises in store for Twinkie lovers. Am still waiting for many dead movies to be made: The Melancholy Dead, The Anorexic Dead, Bored Dead, Rehabilitated Dead, Hypnotized Dead, Brain Dead, Finally Dead Dead, Time Traveling Dead, Prehistoric Dead, Emotionally Dead Dead to name a few. Stay Tuned.
