Bio-Dead

Bio-Dead

Starring Matthew Norton, Derek Long, Tony Williams, Jacob Gentry

Directed by Stephen Hadden

Terrorists have struck Los Angeles by releasing a deadly toxic virus that even FEMA and the CDC can't handle, so a private company was hired to try to find survivors in the toxic mess.

Benson (Derek Long), Ellis (Matthew Norton), Jackson (Tony Williams) and Graham (Jacob Gentry) are sent into the Zone to find survivors, and instead discover an office complex that seems to have not been affected by the poison.

They investigate the seemingly abandoned building and discover that it's not as abandoned as they thought, as a strange ghoul follows and stalks them at every turn.

The concept is an interesting one, even if it's been done before.  However, everything else about the film is a snooze-fest.  The dialogue seems to be added in as they went along.  The majority of this rather short film consists of them roaming the building, talking nonsense and very few scary moments.

Then once the story gets going, you think to yourself...what the heck is this story about?  Was this ghoul thing a bi-product of the toxin?  Why was this building not affected?  Why did this thing seem to turn some of the workers into mindless drones, while performing pointless experiments on others?  What was the point of this movie at all?  Unfortunately, none of those questions were answered and, topped with the sheer overall boredom of the film, "Bio-Dead" is one of the forgettable films that could've been better if it had more source material to work with.

My Rating: C
