Dead Reckoning and Smart Zombies
13 August 2019
A great Zombie movie written and directed by the Zombie master himself George A Romero who created the Night of the living Dead film series which is mostly known for the second entry in the series Dawn of the Dead which is one of the greatest Zombie movies ever made.

This entry in the series takes place almost two decades after the Zombie outbreak where Zombies now cover the earth and whats left of the humans now live in a secure city lead by the super rich while the poor scavenge for food and supplies and man the defences of the city the scavenging crews are lead by Riley Denbo (Simon Baker) who wants out of the city while his friend Cholo Demora (John Leguizamo) wants into the tower where the super rich live but after a midnight raid on a small town filled with zombies goes badly they end up leading a horde of zombies right to the city's gate now they have bigger problems to deal with as the dead start working together to get there meal.

The blood and gore looks great and has much more detailed scenes of zombies eating people than most movies are willing to show especially in the Directors cut of the movie which is more graphic.

The makeup and green screen effects are pretty good for there time a little obvious now but in 2005 were passable also great acting all round the characters likable and unique.

I recommend this movie to any fan of zombie movies especially ones with plenty of blood and gore and a decent budget to make it look better than B movie zombie movies.
