I posted about Michael Welch having some solid political opinions before the 2020 election, and he JUST replied to my tweet??? Three full years later??
In today's review, I find that zombies will soon have their day. As I attempt a #positive review of the 2008 Day Of The Dead #MenaSuvari

The big advantage of civilization is that we’ve got most of the major threats beaten, while it’s not completely eradicated, the vast majority of us probably don’t have to constantly worry about being ripped apart. So we invent fictional worries to deal with: How will I take out the perpetrators if this bank branch is suddenly attacked? Or what three things will I take in my bug-out bag if Zombies…
If Christopher Roosevelt’s THE DEMENTED (2013, Tubi) lived up to its name, it might be worth watching. As it is, it would be better titled THE DERIVATIVE or just THE MEDIOCRE. From its boring opening, in which college student Richard Kohnke gives girlfriend Kayla Ewell a promise ring because they’re not ready to get engaged (nothing like keeping the stakes low) to the tired nihilism of the ending, it’s a relentless exercise in why bother. Six college students party at a country house outside Baton Rouge. That means for the first few minutes you get a lot of beef- and cheesecake as they cavort on a slip ‘n’ slide. I’d say Roosevelt was an equal opportunity exploiter, but when they find out a terrorist attack has unleashed a deadly biological agent, the guys put on shirts and pants while the girls keep on their bikini tops, so you know who the film’s aimed at. The chemical, I know this will surprise you, is turning people into zombies. Between early attacks, Roosevelt throws in a little soap opera over whose boyfriend cheated with whose girlfriend. At least the attacks move fast. And there’s one neat effect — until activated by sound, the zombies stand as if in a trance. It’s a sign of Roosevelt’s lack of awareness (or the budget or scheduling) that the only engaging actor in the film, Michael Welch as the spoiled rich kid, is the first to go. That leaves us with leaden dialogue delivered in either monotone or forced hysteria. But the sickest part of this whole mess is that partway through I realized I’d seen this before (I recognized the house), but it was too late to switch to anything else. So, my greatest disdain for this film is reserved for myself. At least this review is better written than the earlier one.
