The Quick and the Undead
SCREENER/APPROX. 78MINS/2006/USA UNRATED
SCREENER/APPROX. 78MINS/2006/USA UNRATED
Three quarters of the world has been wiped out, a deadly virus has been turning people into flesh eating zombies. Now the only way for Ryn
Baskin (Clint Glenn) to really make a living is to become a bounty hunter. He begins cleaning up town after town, killing as many zombies he can
find to get a reward, and cutting off zombies pinky fingers as proof of his hard work. Soon enough, he runs into his old gang members who end up
double crossing and shooting him, leaving him for dead and for the zombies to chew upon. Unfortunately, their plan backfires, Ryn survives the
gunshot and begins to seek revenge, he wants what's rightfully his back.
I'm a huge fan of zombie films but not so much of westerns, even so, I have to say this film was pretty fucking cool. The start of the film was
wicked, Ryn placed body parts all over the road in a small country town and then stood at the end of this road with his rifle, picking off zombie after
zombie. Once he killed them all, he began cutting off their fingers so he could collect the reward money. For a low budget film, the zombies and
special effects were fucking top notch, plus the cinematography was incredible. It didn't feel like I was watching a low budget independent film at
all.
The acting on the other hand can get somewhat annoying, Ryn reminded me so much of Clint Eastwood it wasn't funny, I just reckon it might have
been a lot better if Clint Glenn would have been more original with his character and not paid so much homage to the older western films, other
than that, everything else was pretty cool.
The Quick and the Undead, directed and written by Gerald Nott, is his first full length featurette film. If this is what he brings to the table for his
first film, fucking hell, I can't wait too see what his next film is going to be like. So don't take any notice of the comments on imdb.com, half of the
time people there haven't got a fucking clue as to what's good and what's shit. This film is a goer and beautifully shot, so if you love westerns and
zombies films, you're going to enjoy watching this.
I recommend that you check out this DVD one day and judge it for yourself, it has everything that a horror fan wants.
