i vaguely remember the trailer for long time dead and recall it do fairly poorly in cinema ticket and rental sale . i thought because it be release in the same year a two other very well regarded british horror movie and one feature a squad of british soldier a good guy fight a bunch of werewolf and the other feature a squad of british soldier a bad guy battle against crypto zombie and that long time dead may have get lose in the market place but after finally see it i doubt if the merit of dog soldier and 28 day later have anything to do with it failure the reason it bomb be that it a rather poor horror moviefirst of all can we please stop see movie where horny and drug take teenager get stalk and slash . i have become very feed up by this plot by the early 1980s and it stop be a good premise 20 year ago . okay scream and final destination use the same plot but the producer at least tried to do something a little bit different with the plot where as in this movie it just well worn cliché a be the set up with a ouija boardokay i be in a generous mood so i would not put the boot into director because it a debut and i imagine marcus adam have a lot of enjoyment shoot the picture and it be fairly stylish . i should also point out that there be a not unimpressive sequence where two character enter a house only for them to come to a sticky end . unfortunately mr adam also write the screenplay and it this that be the film undo i be not much of a horror fan and though i enjoy the 2002 release where the british army let off a few shot at monster in abandon house there little in this movie to recommend unless youre a horror movie addict .
