After spending most of the weekend making last minute
adjustments to and then launching Wisdom From Beyond, it was really nice to
have a night where I could relax (although my latest class has started worrying
me). While I understand that this will likely be my only light day with
parades, meetings, a football game, and a zombie run on Saturday, at least I
had some time to work on some fun stuff. As I did, I decided to watch 2014s
Dead Within; a movie that definitely helped set a mood.
Plot/ Six months after the outbreak, a man and woman have
survived by isolating themselves in a remote cabin. Starved for resources, they
must confront the horrors that threaten them from outside and from within.
As usual, I had no idea what to expect and went into this
completely blind. I am glad I did, as this was much better than I expected from
reading the synopsis, and it was not the zombie flick that I figured was coming
my way. More of a psychological horror than true horror flick, this one is more
about atmosphere and tension than anything else. Plus, it definitely outlines
how much fear plays a role in psychosis and terror. The acting is solid, the
characters are believable, and the overall message can resonate with viewers.
Yes, it is not a gorefest and anyone expecting a zombie movie will likely be
disappointed, but that is his or her loss.
In the end, this was much better than I imagined and a movie that I am
glad I watched. If you have not seen it, give it a shot!
