Fredi ‘Kruga’ Nwaka writes and directs his feature debut, The Living Dead, a British movie about a robbery that goes very wrong, resulting in five criminals taking shelter from the police in a castle. This turns out to be a poor idea as they find themselves in a haunting situation.
A comedy-horror with crime on the top, this is a strange film when it comes to the tone. It took me a good few minutes to even begin to get used to the delivery of dialogue and the over-the-top style. It feels like an amateur play, or a late-night television British B-movie. Poor acting, awful dialogue, and a story that, while teetering on entertaining once in a while, tends to fall flat 99% of the time. This was a really disappointing film, at the end of the day,...
