Dead Kansas (2012)

best movie i've ever seen.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Aaron K. Carter uses Horror & Humor to tell this Frightfully Wonderful Tale of Human Survival, in the midst of a Zombie Apocalypse ! He doesn't let the flow of the film slow down with minor details; & presents his Story in an engaging manner, filled with Blood, Gore, & mayhem. The Players are well-cast & include a vast array of Talent, with the Biggest Name belonging to IRWIN KEYES, who's appeared in "House of 1000Corpses" & "Black Dynamite", as well as numerous other movies & TV Shows, portraying "Giant" from the Town of Circus-FolK, with BEN WOOLF playing the diminutive Town Leader "Squeak" . The Story revolves around a Father & Daughter trying to survive & Protect each other, while there's destruction all around them, & the Search for "Doctor Emerson", played by DARRYL DICK, to heal the Father . The Father, "Glenn" is Portrayed by AARON GUERRERO & the Daughter "Emma" is handled by a Trio of Talented Ladies, ERIN MIRACLE, ALEXANDRIA LIGHTFORD, & the Young MADISON MENDEZ: & they are All Equally Brilliant in their Roles . MICHAEL CAMP appears to have a Great Time playing the Bandit Leader & All-Around Bad Guy "Jebediah", & he does a Bang-Up job of it ! Rounding out the Cast is JULIETTE DANIELLE as "Rebecca", BRITTANY PASTOR as the "Dart Thrower", & LAURA E. WHITE as a "Bar Patron" . A Special Thank YOU to Beautiful DENISE JOHNS RAYL for bringing Her Obvious Talents to the role of "Busty Bar Patron" ! Thank You, AARON K CARTER & fellow writer NICHOLAS A. DeNICOLA for this Fun, Interesting, & Horror-Filled Film !!!! Well Done; & I'm awaiting the Sequel !!!

I recently got a private message from someone asking if they'd seen their film DEAD KANSAS , "it is the first zombie film to use Point Of View (POV) zombies - in other words, the camera is the "zombie's eye" in some scenes." . Actually this isn't true because a while ago I saw a short film featuring a zombie apocalypse where a human witnesses a zombie attack , gets bitten and they become a zombie where the human beings are now the antagonists , the title of which escapes me .Nevertheless I wrote back I'd be happy to review though warned my reviews are always honest . Unfortunately I've got to keep to my word and say I did not like DK one bit I noticed there's a large number of external reviews from other sites and the vast majority of them seem rather kind , possibly because they don't want to upset the feelings of someone who has gone to the time and trouble of politely asking reviewers to take a look at their movie . It's obviously a project made out of love and hopefully the crew had a lot of fun making because as a neutral viewer I didn't have much fun watching it . The budget is non existent which isn't a criticism but this means you've got to cast mainly amateurs in key roles and they're just not good enough to carry the film . In fact in one bizarre segment the female lead turns in to a completely different actress reinforcing this is some modern day Ed Wood type production . This puzzled me so much that I had to check the trivia section to find out what was going on and found out several interesting things about DK . One is that it was originally envisaged as a short film , then blossomed in to a web series and eventually got re-edited in a near feature length film . The filming took place over a period of months which along with the lack of budget explains its disjointed car crash like quality . I hope I haven't reduced to tears the production member who asked me to review their film but I'm afraid I didn't like it . Sorry and please don't hate me .

I love a Grindhouse movie and this one is close enough to grind house to really like. Joe McQueen does a great job and the rest of the cast is really great to. I would watch it over and over! Really love how they did the zombie thing. It gives a whole new approach for zombie apocalypse movies. Can't wait to see what Aaron Carter is gonna do next. Would really love to see him team up with someone and make a grind house set. I know it would be awesome! Zombie movies done right. Give it a chance and watch it. Don't just knock before you watch. It's B rate but at it's finest. If you like a good B rate movie and grind house movies. Then you will like this one.

Stars: Irwin Keyes, Joe McQueen & Erin Miracle.A Aaron K Carter film.We thinks this was a web-series then turned into a feature.The only reason to bring up is lead actress was switched mid-production and ,Yes,There is a resemblance ,But their interpretation of the daughter/heroine is vasts worlds apart.The father figure was awesome and character was allowed to grow and comes to conclusion.The ROTTENS,We assume are undead and we know this because their Point Of View is in black & white when attacking.The lead human bad-guy , we decided is a Bam Magera 'looker' with Some Joe Cocker,Travis Tritt and Lou Gramm from Foreigner nuances.Dead Kansas is scary in a Walking Dead way and yet Erin Miracle gives it this B-Movie feel with her outfits and endangered scenes.
