The Dead Come Home (1989)
A fun little film with plenty of gore!
I'm not sure why this film has been rated so low, but I'm going to guess it's because most people go into every movie they watch expecting it to be Citizen Kane, and then rate the movie with a 1 because it wasn't a Hollywood blockbuster with 10 million dollar explosions.I'm assuming if you're checking this movie out, you are either a Troma fan or a Zombie fan. While they might not be Zombies as you would normally imagine them, this film does feature plenty of undead characters.
If you love gore, then you will enjoy this film, as the blood and guts are pretty evenly distributed throughout the film and pretty well done for a low budget film. There were a few instances that were so great that I rewound them and watched them again. If you enjoy the atmosphere that 90's cheesiness is able to offer, then again, this is the film for you.
I am rating this film 10 because I believe other people have severely underestimated the film, and I feel its poor rating might deter viewers. But then again, this is a Troma release, so maybe not.
8/10
Next: A Primer on Urban Painting (2005)
An amazing inside look at this obscure sub-culture.
This film simply changed the way I thought about urban art. I had always admired the huge colorful pieces, but never simple words written on a wall. Since watching it I look carefully at the writing that is everywhere around us, and I have a newfound appreciation for it. I have come to find that a city without graffiti is a city without life. This film shows that thought and effort goes behind these peoples works, and not everything is just there to deface property. Its about expressing yourself, its about getting your name around, and its about showing people what you're all about. Like the great Banksy once said: "It's easier to get forgiveness than permission." If this world doesn't allow you to express yourself, you have to give yourself permission. "If you take the right, the right is yours." I give this film a 10 because it was everything I wanted to know and more, I wish it had never ended. A definite must see for any writer, and especially those who DON'T appreciate urban art.
