Dead Within (2014)

Thanks for the memories!

Absolutely the worst movie.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The film opens with two couples celebrating and then the next thing you know there are just two people living in a remote cabin who have barricaded themselves in because of some unknown zombie like infection. Mike (Dean Chekvala) dares to go outside to scrounge for food while his wife Kim (Amy Cale Peterson) stays inside and goes squirrelly from cabin fever. That is the entire film and nearly all of it is filmed from inside the cabin. Two characters, one setting, boring dialogue. It was like watching "The Road" as I kept waiting for an explanation or something to happen or the scenery to change.If you want to watch a zombie film, without zombies, that is character driven, this could be your film. Why someone would make something like that, I have no idea.Parental Guide: F-bomb, brief sex, brief nudity.

Six months after the outbreak, a man and woman have survived by isolating themselves in a remote cabin. Starved for resources, they must confront the horrors that threaten them from outside and from within. If you take out the creepy voices that sound in the back this is a very badly written and directed movie, it's not scary or even at least a bit original or even interesting and it honestly reminded me a lot of Aliens v.s Predator: Requiem it's so dark that i couldn't even see anything but also there's shaky cam that really made the movie even worse. It was also very slow and the 2 leading stars were poorly written and the actors didn't help either and for that i'm going to give Dead Within an 1/10

Very vague, minor spoilers. First, there are zombies in this movie. Only 2 (well, 3, maybe 4), and they are only on screen mainly for a very brief flashback, but they are there. But beyond that I think this could have been a decent little movie. The acting isn't great, but it serves its purpose. The problem is not much happens to string the movie along to its conclusion. I think, perhaps, if they made the subplot with the baby even slighter bigger (or even slightly less implied and more direct) it would have given the movie more depth. And if there had been a bigger "to-do" outside at the end, where they actually could have had a full action/dramatic scene rather than a quick jolt. The movie wasn't about scares, anyway. So why end that way and take away one of the few opportunities to show something happening (other than her opening the front door)?

Wow, was I watching the same movie? First off, everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I can't believe the previous users and reviews are calling this movie boring, slow, or that they have seen it before. I thought the movie was suspenseful the entire time. Even though it was a limited cast, the acting was spot on and exactly what I look for in this genre. If you want gore and nudity, you are looking in the wrong place, go re-watch one of the installments of Friday the 13th, which are all the same, so take your pick. ALSO THIS ISN'T A ZOMBIE MOVIE! The poster may be perceived as misleading, but we all should be able to get past that. It could be just about anything outside the door, just like Cabin in the Woods. It's a sad story about two people who have lost everything. It frankly, was a lot more believable to me. It's more like Open Water than Dawn of the Dead or Evil Dead.I also really enjoyed discovering the prequel web series AFTER I had watched the film, it was a nice extension of the piece and hope they continue to post more episodes on the site.
