Going back at least to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960), and traceable through films as otherwise varied as Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk Till Dawn (1996), Stevan Mena's Malevolence (2004) and Dan Bush's The Vault (2017), there is a strand of cinema that sets fugitive criminals on a collision course with the horror genre.A similar game is played by Fredi Nwaka's feature debut Are We Dead Yet?
What I appreciate the most about horror cinema is the fact that its the easiest genre for an up-and-coming director to direct, and provide a unique vision that's set apart from different genres - in horror, you can make anything if you set your mind to it. Horror can also blend different genres within itself, producing horror/drama, horror/action, and even horror/comedy, which is the route taken by first-time director Fredi Nwaka's "The Living Dead" (also known in the U.
I don't understand why so many bad reviews, this movie is good, the story line is actually good, it is funny the actors are good, makeup fantastic, I have seen it twice, and truly don't understand why people are saying is bad. I truly recommend to watch it.
I love the fact it's British, it's a horror and it's funny. It's not often you find that combo so watching this is worth it.
Five robbers hide out in the cursed and haunted Drakelaw Manor. The "living dead" are not zombies but ghosts.
The story had a chance if it wasn't turned into someone's contrived stupidity for a comedy. I'm a fan of writer director movies when they work but this one just doesn't work.
Classified as a comedy horror but both are completely missing Bad acting, bad dialogue and bad accents - trying to steal scare scenes (the very few there are) from far better horror movies and failing badlyP.S.
I must admit that I was initially intrigued by this 2020 movie's poster/cover, and with a title such as "Are We Dead Yet" (aka "The Living Dead") then of course my interest was more than caught. I do like horror comedies, and this movie looked like it could be fun.
This British film tries to inject its humour in this movie. It is something a younger Guy Ritchie might have made earlier on in his directorial career.
