Prisoners become zombies.
23 April 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Get ready and hold on. This horror entry starts a bit slow, but then the pace picks up and all hell breaks loose. A prisoner with a viral infection is transfered to a maximum security prison and soon prisoners and guards alike are infected and become hyper-violent zombies. A CDC rep(Bay Bruner)does not even get the chance to isolate a sample of the virus. The flesh eating zombies feed on each other. The survivors barely have a prayer to avoid being victim of the hellacious slaughter.

Special effects are pretty gory. Some scenes are way over the line from being mildly disturbing. Some camera angles seem voyeouristic. Buckets of blood. Gallons or gore. Blood oozing like a dirty petroleum leak. Vomit projectiles both thick and chunky. Human limbs are chewed off and miles of guts are strung out. DEAD MEN WALKING is damn sure not for the weak of heart. I actually liked this wild ride and don't know who to thank first...writer Mike Watt or director Peter Mervis. Some of the other cast members: Griff Furst, Brandon Stacy, Chriss Anglin and James Ferris. So profoundly perverse...may be better to watch on an empty stomach. Enjoy.
