A ZOMBIE TWIST

With the appearance of THE WALKING DEAD some years back now zombie films became the big thing for a while. Zombie films were popping up as fast as, well, zombies in a zombie movie. While that's good on one hand for fans of the genre it's bad as well. The genre became stale and predictable. So when something different comes along its worth making note of it. DEADSIGHT is that something new.

The film opens through the blurred vision of some inside an ambulance who then passes out. When he wakes, there's no one around him. Still not quite able to see he discovers he's handcuffed to the gurney. He finds a bottle of eye drops in his pocket and puts some in which helps a small bit. Still somewhat blind he replaces his bandages and tries to find out what happened.

Once outside it isn't long before one of the ambulance attendees attacks him, growling while doing so. Ben (Adam Seybold),as we learn later is his name, defends himself but soon the other attendant is upon him. A truck coming by with an armed man in the back shoots hitting the attendant and saving Ben's life but doesn't stop.

While this is going on police officer Mara Madigan (Liv Collins) wakes up and gets ready for work. Obviously pregnant she dresses and heads out. She had heard Ben calling for help on the ambulance radio and heads his direction to find out what was going on. When she gets nearby a woman in the road stops her. Obviously in the midst of changing she steals Mara's car and takes off down the road leaving Mara on foot.

Through determination and sheer luck Ben has made his way to a farmhouse, attacked once more outside. He takes down this zombie and begins to explore the house, counting off steps as he goes. Attacked once again it seems like the end for Ben when Mara shows up and shoots the zombie. Assessing the situation the pair decide to work together and make their way back to the ambulance. When it becomes apparent they can't make it with Mara guiding Ben, she heads out on her own.

The predicaments that this pair come up against with Mara's being pregnant and Ben being blind are what make this movie a bit different than most. This twist works well within the confines of the zombie genre and brings something new to the table. There's little change in the zombies but the only options are fast of slow. In this film they're both for some reason, perhaps due to the time of death. We also get an explanation for the outbreak for once, a variation of a flu shot that went bad.

The one thing that could ruin a movie like this is placing the roles of Ben and Mara in the hands of bad actors. While I've not heard of much by either Seybold or Collins both do a great job here. They play the roles as believable rather than ridiculing the characters. They also don't overact, a problem found in many low budget films being made in the horror genre. And yes, this is a low budget film.

But that doesn't stop it from being entertaining and interesting. In fact the low budget might actually be a plus here. The film works well in the rural setting (perhaps a tribute to NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, which can also be seen when someone is killed in a cemetery by hitting their head on the corner base of a tombstone),much better than it would have in an urban one. The pregnancy, while not the first seen in a zombie flick (the remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD) it plays well here as Mara is the only one who can see.

I've seen some review take the movie to task for issues that stem from the budget and I think that's a bit unfair. For me I was interested throughout the movie never feeling that urge to press the fast forward button to get to the good parts. The combination of interesting story and solid acting made it worth watching and a film I would recommend to those who enjoy a good horror film with something new to offer.

Cant understand the hating.

Blind guy in a zombie apocalypse is a nice take, which has enough suspense until the pregnant woman joins, who is a bit much. Make up is fine while effects show its a cheap movie, as does the hurried ending. Still nice enough movie for fans.

Disappointing Film Without Storyline

An amnesic blind man (Adam Seybold) awakes alone in the back of an ambulance and unsuccessfully tries to contact anybody using the radio. Soon he finds zombies attacking him but he succeeds to flee to a farmhouse where he hides himself. Meanwhile the pregnant police officer Mara Madigan (Liv Collins) is lured by a sick woman and her police car is hijacked. She walks on the road and reaches the same farmhouse where the blind man is hidden. She decides to look for the ambulance to leave the place but it has run out of gas since the man, Ben Neilson, had started the car and left it working. Now Mara and Ben need to team up to escape from the zombies.

"Deadsight" is a disappointing film without storyline. The poor screenplay is a complete mess and there is only a weak explanation close to the end of the story about the zombie outbreak. In addition, the lead characters are stupid and their decisions are always silly and inadequate. The art of the poster is the best this film can offer. My vote is four.
