Dead Start

About This Movie

So, "Dead Start" is an interesting entry in the horror genre from 2009. The film takes this really tense approach with a couple, Ann and Mark Savin, who are just living their lives when the whole zombie apocalypse thing erupts on live TV. It’s got a raw atmosphere that feels pretty grounded, as they grapple with disbelief and the grim reality of survival. The pacing kind of builds up that dread at just the right speed, keeping you on edge. The practical effects used for the zombies stand out, giving the film a gritty vibe. Performances are decent, capturing that mix of panic and determination. The themes of fight or flight, and what you'd risk to protect loved ones, make it a bit deeper than your average zombie flick.
