Trailer—Dead Genesis

source: Dead Genesis

first i wish they camera work was not so shaky, it made it really hard to watch it. some of the actors did a good job, but others should not even be in from of a camera at all, the dialogue felt unnatural, together with the bad acting made it really hard to keep watching but the story looked okay to i kept watching and did like some of it. if a second one is made and i hope it is ( i like zombie movies) please work a little more on the dialogue, don't dumb it done so much, don't bring back the bad actors who over acted, please don't shake the camera so much it would have been so much better if even that was done, and i don't think zombies make sounds of pain when they get hit, that really got on my nerves. some of the actors did a very good job for a low budget movie, better then most movies out there, the flow of the movie was also good.

Wait, there wasn't an earthquake? this is the shakiest film ever made, and to be avoided by anyone who doesn't want to be motion sick in the first 20 min (several times) If the shaking doesn't get you, the terrible acting and effects may actually come close to destroying any love for the entire genre. I've heard that the UN is declaring this movie to be a crime against humanity.

I watch a lot of zombie movies. Bad ones, good ones, TERRIBLE ones. Dead Genesis definitely falls under the terrible heading. First, I'll address the opening scene. Yes, it depicts a zombie mother eating her child. It is not as jarring as the filmmaker intended. Mainly, the child (and I don't like to pick on kids) is an atrocious actor. It was pretty cringe worthy. It looked like the kind of performance you'd expect from a couple of 12 year old's messing around with dad's video camera, not an actual movie that people pay to see. And, believe me, it's only down hill from there. The audio is horrendous. The acting, amateurish would be a compliment. The story, lame and derivative. The only thing that could have saved it would have been some over the top violence and tits 'n ass. Unfortunately for Dead Genesis, there is neither. As for the reviews praising the films "deep, philosophical story". I can only imagine those individuals have an invested interest in the production. Sucks to be them. Skip this piece of garbage. Go watch: Exit Humanity, Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead, The Horde or even the new season of Z- Nation is kind of promising. Don't waste your time with Dead Genesis. Thank me later...

In the first 5 minutes of this movie, I was drawn in. What a great beginning! (That kid must have zombie fan parents!) It was sufficiently and realistically gory and heartbreaking. The zombies looked great. Good make up, realistic blood and guts with good camera use, focusing well on the action, getting a good view! (Only down side I noticed was the skin was a little too elastic) When they "ate" the guts...you SEE them eating the guts!! I loved the new take on the old genre. Taking the zombies and making sport out of them. I have always thought, especially with the slow moving Romero style zombie, how easy it would be to subdue them. This movie is about the morality, of killing. Even if it is zombies. Is it "right" to support the "war on the dead" This is the first movie that really explores, in this direction. I thought it was a little satirical. But I'm a sarcastic person....It IS definitely a philosophical zombie flick, if you can imagine that!! The acting was not Hollywood great, but it was still done well enough I found myself interested and intrigued. It did roll quite slow, and I would of liked to see more zombie action, since it was done so well! Within 20 minutes, the shaky camera syndrome was making me a bit dizzy, but I didn't notice it too much after that. This movie is shown in the view of the lead character, a female reporter and her investigations of a "hunting group" while out in the world, hunting zombies with them. If you LOVE the genre like I do, and discussion/conversation in a movie doesn't bother you ,I think you should give this film a chance.

Another rubbish no-budget zombie film that makes you wish that the genre had died a death for real. This one tries a slightly different approach to the genre than usual, which means we get some harmless and over-obvious philosophising and moralising along with the cheesy gore effects and repetitive zombie attacks. But whatever way you look at it, this is a mindless shot-in-the-woods outing no better than the equally poor NAZI ZOMBIES. The slimline plot sees a would-be reporter infiltrating a group of zombie hunters who are camped out in the local woods. These guys call themselves Dead Heads, which I thought was a nickname for fans of the EVIL DEAD movies, which gives some inkling of the paucity of imagination on offer here. What follows is badly-scripted, with flat, boring characters every which way you look, and "direction" which consists of somebody shaking the camera about in a cinema verite style. Don't get me started on the amateur hour acting or other poor technical qualities; instead, skip this one entirely and try something else.

after an original, but very gross opening sequence, wont spoil the movie but it made me watch the rest of it, the camera shake starts, if it was all supposed to be shot by the reporter it would be almost acceptable, (but any one who shakes that much would have big problems), the camera shakes even when the reporter is not filming which really does get annoying. the story itself isn't to bad and the acting is above average with most of the key characters being very good, the zombie effects are good, the gore levels are not excessive, but wont disappoint. this film would have scored higher, but for the camera shakes this would have made a 7 or 8, if you can put up with the camera shake (warning, it is very close to headache/vomit inducing), this isn't a bad zombie movie & is well worth a watch

The fact that movie producers think killing a child is entertainment is disgusting. Find another way to shock us. Any other way. Leave the kids out of it.The last thing I want to see is a kid being killed. It starts the movie off with a terribly disgusting way.I seriously question anyone that finds the first scene of this movie entertaining. I enjoy horror/thriller movies and do not like any that involve kids. I recorded this one on the chiller channel and had to turn my head on the first scene just to turn the channel. Now I have that image in my head. I hate it!!! Who could ever think this is entertaining?? What happened to the good scary movies that protected the children and didn't involve them in the violence?

Dead Genesis is a powerful cinematic experience from gifted director Reese Eveneshen that raises disturbing questions for our time. At heart, this film is a beautifully observed study of the soul draining stress of prolonged combat with an unwavering enemy in a never ending war. Eveneshen's brilliant script is a subtle metaphor for the current geopolitical crisis and the effect such perennial conflict has upon a society at risk of becoming what it fears. Emily Alatalo, Lionel Boodlal, Colin Paradine, Erin Stuart, and Tom Parkinson lead a talented cast, giving deeply moving performances as members of a paramilitary group fighting to preserve their own humanity while participating in exhausting battles that challenge their existential beliefs. The cinematography is strikingly creative and unique, creating an environment of fear and dread while projecting an unsettling surrealistic atmosphere. The imagery is at times truly haunting. As superficially a horror film dealing with a fresh take on a zombie apocalypse that has devastated America, this film has its share of violence and gore. However, the bloody action never obscures the underlying creative message regarding the nature of humanity's struggle to fight evil without actually becoming evil itself.
