Boring and annoying...
My guess is the makers of this film just thought: Hey, lets make a zombie movie and have a blind guy and a pregnant woman as the main leads. That should be interesting enough so we don't really have to write a script. Or have a plot. Or have reasonably developed characters. Or any other characters besides the zombies. Right? Wrong. This movie is boring, annoying and irritating. Most of the movie its just the partially blind guy stumbling around aimlessly. Occasionally a random zombie pops out of nowhere and attacks him. He somehow survives all of this and makes it to a random house in the middle of the woods. For some reason that I cannot recall the young and extremely pregnant police officer winds up at the same house. So now we have a couple of people stumbling around, doing stupid things and occasionally getting attacked by random grumbling zombies. We still don't have a plot though. Or well developed characters. Or a script. There's exactly one more character that has more than one line in the movie and he is there to provide exposition on the zombie outbreak. The reason for the outbreak is very weakly explained as well. But I guess there's your plot. By all the laws of evolution the two main characters would have never survived the messes they manage to get themselves into. The decisions they make are absolutely horrendous. But since this is a movie they survive till the end just so movie can have the heroic uplifting memorable ending that can actually be seen coming from about a thousand miles away. The ending comes equipped with the sort of annoying music score you would expect. My advice is don't watch. There is nothing worth watching. You have seen it all before in other better movies.
Just your average, generic zombie movie here...
Right, well with my unhealthy interest in all things zombie, of course I had to sit down and watch "Deadsight". I didn't know anything about it, much less knew of its existence before I stumbled upon this 2018 movie by random chance in mid-2019. Well, the storyline in "Deadsight" didn't really deviate all that much from your average, generic zombie movie. A couple of survivors band together to live through a zombie outbreak. And the audience is, of course, given no insight into the outbreak - where it started, what it is, or anything of the like - surprise, surprise. The movie had essentially just two characters you needed to relate to, the rest was just random filler. That meant that Adam Seybold, playing the blinded Ben Neilson, and Liv Collins, playing pregnant police officer Mara Madigan, had to perform on a higher level to carry the movie. So did they? Well, to an extend. It would have been working better if they had been given characters that were more fleshed out. Ben Neilson, for instance, didn't know how he ended up in an ambulance being blinded, but he had no problems remembering other things, and Mara Madigan seemed very surprised at everything they came upon while traveling, and she was supposed to be the local police officer. No, it just didn't really work all that well. "Deadsight" is a fairly slow paced movie, which was a fact that worked against the overall enjoyment of the movie I'd say. And also the shortage of zombies wasn't really working in favor of the movie. And I love how the police officer resorted to shooting people in the head as her first option when entering a hostile situation. How very police-like. Duh! The make-up on the zombies was adequate. Don't expect the usual gut eating scenes as zombie movies tend to include. But the make-up was, for the most part, good on the zombies in the movie. I didn't like the fact that the zombies were able to open windows and doors. That was just odd. All in all, "Deadsight" is a mediocre entry in the zombie genre. It is a movie that came and went without as much as a groan, much less a bite. I sat through it, and I can honestly say that it is hardly a movie that warrants more than a single viewing.
Shoot Me.
Ben Neilson (Adam Seybold) is the blind guy during a zombie apocalypse. He is handcuffed in the back of an ambulance, stopped by a cemetery. He ambles down the road, blindly defending himself. He is later aided by a very pregnant policewoman (Liv Collins) not played as well as Frances McDormand. Farmhouse, trailer, rednecks, shotgun, heads blown off. We eventually discover a flu shot mutation is the culprit. Boring for a zombie film. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
Another stupid zombie movie, worse than passing a kidney stone.
Words cannot express how horrible this movie is. Watching paint dry is quicker & more interesting. You can make that film with your smartphone because it's only killing and smashing zombie heads. Script non existent as well as a plot. Who make this kind of rubbish? Are they even human? The list really does go on. The mystery will forever baffle me. Yet oddly depresses me too.
A ZOMBIE TWIST
With the appearance of THE WALKING DEAD some years back now zombie films became the big thing for a while. Zombie films were popping up as fast as, well, zombies in a zombie movie. While that's good on one hand for fans of the genre it's bad as well. The genre became stale and predictable. So when something different comes along its worth making note of it. DEADSIGHT is that something new. The film opens through the blurred vision of some inside an ambulance who then passes out. When he wakes, there's no one around him. Still not quite able to see he discovers he's handcuffed to the gurney. He finds a bottle of eye drops in his pocket and puts some in which helps a small bit. Still somewhat blind he replaces his bandages and tries to find out what happened. Once outside it isn't long before one of the ambulance attendees attacks him, growling while doing so. Ben (Adam Seybold), as we learn later is his name, defends himself but soon the other attendant is upon him. A truck coming by with an armed man in the back shoots hitting the attendant and saving Ben's life but doesn't stop. While this is going on police officer Mara Madigan (Liv Collins) wakes up and gets ready for work. Obviously pregnant she dresses and heads out. She had heard Ben calling for help on the ambulance radio and heads his direction to find out what was going on. When she gets nearby a woman in the road stops her. Obviously in the midst of changing she steals Mara's car and takes off down the road leaving Mara on foot. Through determination and sheer luck Ben has made his way to a farmhouse, attacked once more outside. He takes down this zombie and begins to explore the house, counting off steps as he goes. Attacked once again it seems like the end for Ben when Mara shows up and shoots the zombie. Assessing the situation the pair decide to work together and make their way back to the ambulance. When it becomes apparent they can't make it with Mara guiding Ben, she heads out on her own. The predicaments that this pair come up against with Mara's being pregnant and Ben being blind are what make this movie a bit different than most. This twist works well within the confines of the zombie genre and brings something new to the table. There's little change in the zombies but the only options are fast of slow. In this film they're both for some reason, perhaps due to the time of death. We also get an explanation for the outbreak for once, a variation of a flu shot that went bad. The one thing that could ruin a movie like this is placing the roles of Ben and Mara in the hands of bad actors. While I've not heard of much by either Seybold or Collins both do a great job here. They play the roles as believable rather than ridiculing the characters. They also don't overact, a problem found in many low budget films being made in the horror genre. And yes, this is a low budget film. But that doesn't stop it from being entertaining and interesting. In fact the low budget might actually be a plus here. The film works well in the rural setting (perhaps a tribute to NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, which can also be seen when someone is killed in a cemetery by hitting their head on the corner base of a tombstone), much better than it would have in an urban one. The pregnancy, while not the first seen in a zombie flick (the remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD) it plays well here as Mara is the only one who can see. I've seen some review take the movie to task for issues that stem from the budget and I think that's a bit unfair. For me I was interested throughout the movie never feeling that urge to press the fast forward button to get to the good parts. The combination of interesting story and solid acting made it worth watching and a film I would recommend to those who enjoy a good horror film with something new to offer.
