Howard and John Ford’s The Dead 2: India is a sequel to their previous Africa-set zombie flick; and to be honest, it’s the most auspicious of sequels… A zombie epidemic reaches the Asian subcontinent and American engineer Nicholas (Joseph Millson) attempts to trek 300 miles across stunning but deadly rural Indian landscapes to reunite with his Indian girlfriend Ishani (Meenu Mishra), aided only by plucky orphan boy Javed (Anand Gopal).
I didn’t catch The Dead, so the novelty of watching a Zombie film set anywhere other than Middle America (or Crouch End) was not lost on me…
The various locations around rural India are occasionally used rather well. Nicolas’s introductory scene is a slow pull out from extreme close up...

Opening Night and Saturday
Frightfest 2013 opened on Thursday evening with Howard and John Ford’s The Dead 2: India, a sequel to their previous Africa-set zombie flick. To be honest, it wasn’t the most auspicious start to the weekend. A zombie epidemic reaches the Asian subcontinent and American engineer Nicholas (Joseph Millson) attempts to cross the country to reunite with his Indian girlfriend Ishani (Meenu Mishra), aided only by plucky orphan boy Javed (Anand Gopal). I didn’t catch The Dead, so the novelty of watching a Zombie film set anywhere other than Middle America (or Crouch End) was not lost on me.
The various locations around rural India are occasionally used rather well. Nicolas’s introductory scene is a slow pull out from extreme close up to a panoramic shot of him dangling from a wind turbine, which works really well and there several nicely implemented vistas. Much...

Howard and Jonathan Ford’s The Dead took the simple, surprisingly effective route of relocating a traditional zombie outbreak to the deserts of West Africa. In The Dead 2: India, the zombie plague has spread and the barren African landscape has been swapped for a fiery Indian panorama of scorched red rock, abandoned temples and teeming Mumbai slums. Dark, raw and visually stunning, the Ford Brothers’ latest feature is every bit as powerful as its predecessor.
Story-wise, we’re on familiar ground, as a new set of characters struggle to maintain their humanity amidst scenes of widespread desolation. Up and coming actor Joseph Millson stars as Us electrical engineer Nicholas, who makes the decision to travel across miles of zombie-infested countryside to rescue his pregnant Indian girlfriend, Ishani (Meenu Mishra). He teams up with street-orphan Javed (played by a very likeable Anand Gopal), and the film becomes a sort of...
