The Dead is very much worth keeping. Do check it out! You'll love it.

I thought it was rather generic and a bit boring. Not horrible by any means, just nothing truly special. In a genre where 95% of the efforts are crap, it makes the mediocre ones seem better.

The Dead generic? I can understand some of you guys think it's boring because of the oppressive feel of the film. It's all dread and no hope ... In that sense it could not be farther removed from 'fun' and 'safe' depictions of the zombie apocalypse out there, like the TWD series. It's very different from what this genre had to offer these past few decades (Shaun, Zombieland, 28 days/weeks, Land, Dawn remake, TWD series, ...) In fact it's so different from any other zombie film since the seventies/early eighties that it's anything but generic. I suggest giving it another shot.

I watched The Dead a few weeks ago, good enough to watch again. I loved the setting. A truly bad z-movie, Flight of the Living Dead. It's sooooooo bad !
