Review of Revenge of the Dead

This movie presents a well-constructed mystery, with an intriguing start (a writer finds text on his typewriter's ink ribbon) which leads to a series of gradual revelations and a nice climax. The fact that the sinister truth appears to be almost within grasp all of the time, but cannot be reached by the protagonist because of the intervention of various shady figures makes for a good suspenseful and unsettling atmosphere. The one big flaw of the movie is however that the plot relies to an absurd amount on coincidences – this could have been done far better. Still, a recommended movie for everyone that likes a horror-themed mystery.

To all the zombie apocalypse fans giving this movie bad reviews: Stop punishing this film for not being what you expected based on the misleading advertising of its American distributor!
