I'm not huge on Fullmoon.. where they have several solid flicks, I feel they've done a lot of trash as well.
Last night I watched The Dead Hate The Living.
I don't know why, but by preference, I specifically do not like movies about a horror movie production, it just feels so cheap..
This flick wasn't terrible. It was a bit slow, doesn't really deliver with any effects or anything. Just a mediocre fullmoon flick I'd say, BUT, allow me to draw this comparison.. I'll describe more aswell
Spoiler...The movie is a zombie flick, about a horror crew shooting a zombie movie in an abandoned hospital.
They find a giant Gateway that allows the dead to come and attack them. They all around the hospital and do stupid shit, and then the film ends with the 2 main characters entering the portal, as they can not seem to return to the real world. They enter the portal and are in a world of the dead that is bleak and dark. cue credits
Spoiler...The Beyond is a zombie movie about a house with a portal in the basement, allowing the dead to enter the house. And the film ends with the 2 main characters entering the portal and "and you will face the sea of darkness and all there in that may be explored". The 2 main characters are stuck in this bleak and dark place. cue credits
Spoiler...Both zombie films about a gateway or portal, both with the same ending.
Perhaps Fullmoon hadn't seen The Beyond you may say? There are 2 Direct references to Fulci in The Dead Hate The Living.. the one character even has a Fulci Lives sticker on his bumper.
Am I the only one that feels this is incredibly cheap.
2 'similar' films, one an epic horror classic, and another a run of the mill stereotypical shit flick..
Sometimes imitation isn't the best form of flattery..
Ok Savini.. very unique
