kosmasp That's the English title for the movie. The original means "Black Sea". Not sure I have seen as much blood as in this one for a long time. Another reviewer compared it to Peter Jacksons "classic" Braindead (US title is Dead Alive if I'm not mistaken) and that's spot on, when it comes to the gore.Comedy-wise Peter Jacksons movie is on another level though and was much more fun. That is not to say, that this can't be fun. Quite the opposite, with some weird characters and some crazy/colorful "story" elements. This movie obviously knows what it is, with a little tag end after the credits roll. If you are into low budget, you will really enjoy this - not for anyone squeamish obviously

Claudio Carvalho The fisherman Peroá and his assistant Cavalo Cansado are fishing in a boat but they do not find any school of peroá (a Brazilian fish from Espírito Santo state). However they fish a ray and a strange creature that bites the arm of Peroá. They drop the creature into the sea and return to the village in the countryside where they live. They sell the few fishes that they have caught and Peroá goes home. His wife Indiara sews his arm and goes to the local bar tot buy meat for the lunch of her family. The owner of the bar, Otto, is a good man that buys the ray from a dealer and asks his employee Albino to clean the fish. Albino is a weird man that likes the occultism and has a crush on Indiara. He leaves the ray outside the bar to help her and the fish vanishes. Cavalo Cansado also likes Indiara and he disputes her attention with Albino. Indiara is invited by her neighbor and friend to work in the kitchen of the Sururu's Club, owned by Madame Ursula, in the opening night of the cabaret. She leaves Peroá and her children Paulinho and Clara at home and goes to the cabaret. When Peroá wakes up, he turns into a zombie in the beginning of a gore night. "Mar Negro" (meaning "Black Sea") is an insane zombie movie by Rodrigo Aragão, who is also the editor, and the goriest movie that I have seen since Peter Jackson's "Braindead". The story is regional in a poor location by the sea in the countryside of the Espírito Santo with fishermen, simple people, corrupt politician, militia, cabaret and prostitutes. Therefore people from overseas may have difficulties to understand the peculiarities of the typical characters. Madame Ursula's reaction with a machine gun seems to be inspired in a movie from Quentin Tarantino or Roberto Rodriguez The cast has great performances considering that they are amateurs and the special effects are also great with lots of gore. But maybe the most impressive is the extremely low budget of R$ 300,000.00 (three hundred thousand reais) or US$ 123,500.00 (one hundred and twenty three thousand and five hundred dollars) to make this cult movie of the trash genre. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Mar Negro" ("Black Sea")

binki_ol I have to admit: I didn't expect much when I rented this movie, but boy was I wrong!I haven't had so much fun watching a zombie movie since Braindead! Come to think of it: This movies has a lot of elements that Braindead had! I wouldn't be surprised if it was the director's favorite movie. ;)This is just an excellent zombie flick that doesn't take itself serious like the "blockbuster" zombie movies aka Zombieland, et al. where every scene reminds you just how "cool" the movie is supposed to be. Plus, Dark Sea has AWESOME gore and just plain PERFECT special effects when you consider the budget it was made on.Seriously, if I had to rate this movie in relation to how much money was spend making it, this has to be the BEST movie ever made in the history of the world! :DIf you are a fan of plain old splatter and gore mixed with fun, this is THE movie for you!If on the other hand you dislike b-movies and got to have a shiny-cinema- blockbuster-thingy-kinda-movie, you better watch Zombieland. ;)

maxbloodbrother Don't waste your time by watching it. This is the cheapest and most senseless movie I've ever seen. Acting is just awful. Story is not bad, but screenplay is just a rape of the idea, what was behind.They even did not place any nice girls or something like that in their cast. Actors seem to be just various people picked from the street.Visual effects, hm... you will miss them.There is just bucket wise red paint everywhere. I completely do not understand how people could rate this so called movie so high!!!If you have another choice for an nice movie evening, just take any other movie!
