Undead (2003). This is a low budget affair that extracts its excellence through blood, sweat, and tears- good things come from those that suffer. Begging, stealing, lying and contriving, and mooching all the way, the Spierig Brothers were not to be denied. The result is a wonderful horror comedy born of frustrated exhaustion. And it works wonderfully. The acting is fine for what it is worth, with some wickedly funny one-liners and profane ramblings. The story itself was surprisingly good. The direction and even camera work was competent, especially considering that some of the scenes had to get it right the first time (like wrecking the truck that served as a primary transport vehicle of cast, crew, and equipment). The effects were most surprising, many of which were generated on a laptop by the brother-directors after first having learned the computer programs from scratch. All in all this little gem made for a wonderful good time. Merci beaucoup.
