Description: Old Grandpa has been working in his garden, when a meteorite fell near. Smelling it, grandfather turned into a zombie, and it was the beginning of the apocalypse and terror between revived and dead. Six months later, the government somehow coped with the zombie crisis drove most of the walking dead in a secure area.
Meanwhile junkie experimenter Edwin found that the brain of a zombie can make fertilizer that can significantly accelerate the growth of cannabis and other bongs. And because in the county wasn’t left too much zombies Edwin picked up a friend Tommy went to collect the brains in this very restricted area.
Review: Movies are big-budget studio and, low-budget and independent. And there are movies that are going on the knee. Moreover, in most cases, be such fate falls horror movies. For their production, as a rule, there is one man, all filmed on a cheap camera. Actors portray his friends, the blood – ketchup, music – three chords on the deranged synthesizer. The output is a product, which can only watch to see how he is poor and helpless.
“Bong of the Dead ” also happened to belong to this category. His producer, director, screenwriter, cinematographer, editor, artist and composer are united in the person of Thomas Newman. The plot also has to convince that the film is a crazy trash, not worth the audience’s attention.
Now, six months after the beginning of a zombie epidemic of the living dead (which, in fairness, this story is not risen from the grave, and have been infected by some extraterrestrial virus) herded into reservations where no one is prevented. At the same time, Edwin, small planter of cannabis, makes a surprising discovery: if cannabis seeds pour broth frayed dried brains zombies, they grow to adulthood in a mere few seconds. Together with his friend Tommy, he goes to the reservation for a new biomaterial. Of course, without a beautiful girl encountered along the way, and will not do.
What is there seems to be saying? Rubbish, he’s in Africa and debris. But only «Bong of the Dead» is no fool. Thomas Newman – no man in the street, he has more than ten years working in the industry grimeffektov, the fruits of his work can be seen, for example, in the cult series “The X-Files” and “Millennium.” That is why from the very beginning noteworthy solidly made make-up of infected, and a number of creative episodes, obviously not peeped in other films, but born in the author’s brain. What are, for example, two living dead, peacefully watching TV and lakomyaschihsya with each other’s guts. Moreover, the script of the film is surprisingly not a heap of flat jokes and bloody scenes, and good to tell a story about friendship, and (where do without it!) Love, in which even the development of the characters of place was found. Unpretentious and malooriginalnoy history, of course, but nonetheless.
But also about trash and waste, too, has not forgotten. There were not any naked girls or without drayvovymi extermination of walking corpses. Concocted a daring cynicism key carnage inevitably recall the famous massacre of the mower “Living dead bodies” by Peter Jackson. The film ends up as Newman and did quite a schizophrenic episode, allowing us to hope for a sequel. And hope this is all right to exist, because, contrary to expectations, “Bong of the Dead ” turned unexpectedly close in spirit to the best zombie comedy decades, «Shaun of the dead». So the presence of talent and hands, growing from the right place, even one person, as it turns out, can pull the creation of a good nestydno zombyatnika.
One question remains: where does, in fact, the living dead? Yes innocent. Of course, one should not expect any social subtext in the spirit of Romero, the director just tells funny stories about the sort of Cheech and Chong in postinfetsirovannom world. Says without any important task, simply because in the past to no one has thought of this. And Simon Bailey, by the way, is very bright and showy lady, because she is worthy of watching a movie, even if you are hypersensitive themes arose from the grave.
