I was sort of expecting that the 2020 movie "Dead" might be to the ghost genre what "Shaun of the Dead" was to the zombie genre, "Lesbian Vampire Killers" was to the vampire genre and what "Alien Addiction" was to the alien genre.
Alas, it turned out that "Dead" from writers Thomas Sainsbury and Hayden J. Weal didn't turn out to be exactly that. The movie started out adequately, but the air quickly ran out of the balloon, and the movie quickly became stale and monotonous. In fact, it became such a drag to sit through that I just gave up 1 hour into the ordeal.
The acting in "Dead" was adequate, but it was a real shame that the atrocious execution of the storyline and the dialogue was holding the actors and actresses back from putting on stellar performances. It was nice, however, to see all these new and unfamiliar faces and talents on the screen though.
I found "Dead" to be a disappointing movie, and it is by no means a movie that I will recommend that you sit down to watch. I was entertained at the beginning of the movie, but the enjoyment quickly vanished as the movie rambled on and on in a very monotonous manner, and it was essentially a storyline and characters that I ended up not caring for, given the writing of the movie.
It should be said, though, that the concept idea of the movie was interesting and there definitely was a lot of potential there. But it was brutally slaughtered at the hands of writers Thomas Sainsbury and Hayden J. Weal.
My rating of "Dead" settles on a generous three out of ten stars. This is not a particularly entertaining or memorable movie. And I can honestly say that I will not be returning to finish watching the rest of the movie.
