the dead next door be an ode to all thing zombie . a homage to sam raimi and tom savini and the great zombie king george romero while do on a next to nothing budget . shot entirely on super 8 and and write and produce and edit and score by j. r. bookwalter while this thing look and feel just like one would expect it to represent indie . i find the storyline to be about as entertaining a it could be . zombie run amuck . scientist try to cure them by run test ( much like romero day of the dead ) and which end up be fruitless . nice little original twist here too and a zombie squad who hunt down and kill them a in most zombie film and but this time they be roadblocked by a group of what appear to be leftist democrat try to preserve the human right of zombie . haha . not too far fetch in this day and age . anyhow and this lead the zombie squad to a farmhouse outside of akron ohio and where an original group of doctor almost perfect a serum which could get rid of the problem once and for all and problem be now that farmhouse be inhabit by a cult of zombie worshiper and lead by a rev . jones and no doubt a tongue in cheek dark homage to the madman jim jones of jonestown fame . so it be what it be . a low budget and ultra cheesy and terribly act zombie gore fest . by my standard of gore my standard be jackson braindead a the godfather of gore for a zombie flick while the dead next door be slightly below average and but still have enough squirting blood and decapitation to keep me happy . enjoy this film with some mate and a few pint . 4 out of 10 .
