it so much easy to pick out all the bad thing in a film and write a really crappy review . trust me and i have write my share of crappy review . however dead life be not one of them . dead life be in fact shot on 8mm and and it look grainy and low quality and you know what . that a good thing . the film quality add to it gritty retro feel . the effect be much good than what you see in indie . amateur acting and gee that funny give that the actor be . wait for it . amateurs . i will concede that dead life isn not for everyone . if your true love be stupid teen and tired horror cliché then steer clear . if your love for zombie be insatiable then you could do a whole helluva lot bad than dead life . at least the dude on the cover be in the movie and which can not really be say for a lot of independent horror these day . don not base your judgment solely on what write here at imdb and if youre a zombiephile do a search and you will find plenty of review sing the praise of dead life .
