Paul Magne Haakonsen Anything even remotely zombie, and I am interested. And from the DVD cover for "The Dead the Damned and the Darkness", then it seemed like this might actually be a zombie movie with some substance to it, pardon the pun.Lets start with the title of the movie, which kind of Sticks out like a sore thumb, because it is clearly missing a comma in it. But that is just an insignificant thing, of course, and has no impact on the enjoyment of the movie itself. It is just a small thing that nags in the back of your head.Now, the storyline was adequate. Not the best of stories, nor the worst. It was a fairly straight forward, albeit somewhat generic storyline. Nothing that hasn't been seen in other zombie movies, so don't expect anything groundbreaking or innovative here. Still, it was entertaining enough for a zombie movie.What impressed me about "The Dead the Damned and the Darkness" was the zombie make-up and design. They really had some pretty nice prosthetic and make-up, and it looked quite good and convincing. However, yes there is a however, the sound that they opted to go with for the zombies was just so poor. It sounded like some kind of great predatory beast, which really was so misplaced for a zombie movie. And that actually borough a clownish touch to the movie, which brought it down somewhat in overall enjoyment.The acting was fair and people were doing good jobs with their given roles and characters. I didn't see a single familiar face in the movie, so it was refreshing for me. I enjoy watching new talents in movies, as they are not associated with other roles and characters yet.All in all, then "The Dead the Damned and the Darkness" was an adequate zombie movie, which is worthy enough of a place on the movie shelves of any zombie aficionado.

jpgonc If you have bought this film but first went seeing these reviews I am afraid that I have some really bad news for you... this movie is so, so bad, horrible, lousy and heinous that you better throw it rapidly to the dust bin without blinking or even seeing it (undoubtelly a smart decision... believe me!).Goodies: The zombies looked like clowns and the blood rotted Ketchup.More goodies: Appalling wardrobe and laid-back/nonthreatening zombies.Pace: Infinitively slow.Cast: They were just doing their job for some bucks.Script review: Flawed from the beginning, clichéd remarks abound everywhere, no credible tension and stupidity all around. A really cheesy B-movie!Opinion: Don't waste your money or your precious time seeing this utter rubbish. Summing The Dead the Damned and the Darkness it's just three Ds filled with a big S!

sfinancing ...but wow, this is bad.If you were expecting the high quality acting, script writing and special effects of your average you tube fan fiction garage edited production, you are setting your sights too high.Horrendously bad scripting in combination with horrible acting. The music could be worse(trying to add a positive) but even that is being kind. Costumes straight out of a Halloween store. Even the actors shambling around in the rubber zombie masks were bad.I really wanted to find something to like here, even if it was Plan B level like...

chrismackey1972 The movie starts out with a man cremating the remains of his family. After bottling up the ashes, he puts on an outfit that looks like something out of Star Wars. Almost at once, he's pursued by zombies. At times I could tell the zombies were wearing rubber masks. It sounds funny, but it wasn't. It goes to show how low budget this was. Since the zombies are shown as being mostly decayed, I expected their clothes to be in very bad condition as well. However, there are a few splatters of blood here and there on the material. No rips or shreds in the clothing. The deaf girl's clothes were in worse condition than those of the zombies. I'm not sure how I could catch that but the wardrobe designer didn't. The lead character is trying to make his way to the ocean to toss his wife's ashes into it. Along the way, and in this movie, it seems longer than it is, he comes across a few other people who become part of his boring survival group. Seriously, if that's survival, tap me in the head with the nearest bullet so I don't get bored to death. There is some nudity. A zombie tears the shirt off a woman exposing her breasts. BTW, her boobs were the best actors in the entire movie. I gave this a 2-star rating. The storyline was boring, and the action was also boring and tedious. It's very. VERY low budget. I didn't enjoy it, and I can't recommend it. If you wanna watch a boring zombie storyline with characters you don't care about, SyFy has one on called Z Nation. On the bright side, at least it wasn't filmed through a camcorder. Personally, I think the lead character should've thrown this movie into the ocean when he threw in his wife's ashes.
