I was very disappointed. It was too slow and mostly boring with no interesting characters. They also threw in a flashback of what happened 100 years ago which I don't know what that has to do with the zombies or her finding her father.

This is a great movie. I have seen it 5x now and read all the reviews. Rating is a B+, 9 out of 10. 10 given for balance. The acting is above average and fits the movie. The best part is the mood/atmosphere it creates. The music is good. The plot/screenplay is good, Cinematography is great. Some great death scenes. There are definitely some loose ends. But the mood and scenes make up for any plot holes.Highly recommended. Watch the movie. Read the reviews. Make up your own mind.Need more lines. Writing more lines. Check out movie.Highly recommended. Watch the movie. Read the reviews. Make up your own mind.Need more lines. Writing more lines. Check out movie.

If you overlook the first 40-minutes of the dragging foot of crippled dialogue, narration and senseless jabbering, you may find an entertaining lost episode of Scooby Doo. Correction. Scooby Doo has a more convincing creepy atmosphere. This is a dull, bus ride of underplayed overly dramatic characters. It has the dream-like quality of a bad movie nightmare. One where you're having pee dreams and can't wake up. By the time you finally escape the nightmare, you have wet your bed. Messiah of Evil, a.k.a. Dead People obviously tried to capitalize on the success of Night of the Living Dead, but forgot the most important element...terror. Its attempts at terrifying moments just seem to lie there like the Dead as a Doornail Not-so Living Dead. It has the pacing of a sloth.

Arletty (Marianna Hill) travels to the coastal town of Point Dune, CA to look for her father after his letters stopped arriving. She finds his art studio/house in a normal state but he is nowhere to be found. The only clue she has in a journal where he has written some increasingly bizarre entries. To say any more would give too much away. I've always known of this film, but never knew anything about the plot. When the new Code Red DVD hit, I read lots of great reviews. So, naturally, my interest was piqued and I ordered it. I was not disappointed as the film kept me enthralled from the opening frame. What surprised me the most about the film was the art house aesthetic it seemed to adopt. The film has atmosphere galore with the movie house scene being the highlight. Also, if you love to ogle 70s stores/houses/parking lots, this is the film for you. I haven't dug into the extras yet, but I'm looking forward to finding out tons more about this unique horror flick.
