Late Afternoon of the Living Dead

Good idea, lost opportunity

The title of this film just screams,&quot;Come on! I&apos;m a low budget movie that&apos;s just for fun!&quot; But unfortunately it never really lives up to its promise.

Shot in black and white, the zombie effects are as one would expect from a low budget indie. The acting is better than most movies on this level, but still only marginal at best. There were so many opportunities for humor that were blown, and it seemed to struggle with whether it wanted to be serious or not. The ghost/comic relief character simply didn&apos;t work for me and only became a distraction. I laughed one time-when an unseen character enthusiastically uses trucker lingo on the radio. This could have been a running gag, but it was there and gone. My biggest gripe is with the sound. Throughout the film I was constantly having to turn the volume up during speaking parts and turning it down during action scenes. This gets really annoying after a while, and the quality was unpleasant to boot.

However, I did manage to watch to the end. But it was mostly in the hope that it would improve like I really hoped it would. It&apos;s really a shame because there was promise, but ultimately the inability to deliver with the main culprit being a disappointing and dumb script. Better luck next time.
