Deathdream (1974)


Genre:  Zombie
Director:  Bob Clark
Country:  USA
Availability:  Netflix Watch Instantly

Deathdream (also known as Dead of Night) was an interesting movie, if not a little vague and corny. It's got a great 70's feel, exasperated acting, ominous music, awesome outfits, and ridiculous characters. It's not exactly a zombie movie but it's not not a zombie movie. In fact, what is wrong with the boy goes unexplained and unexplored and instead we just watch him slip slowly into insanity while he craves blood and kills things. The ending is pretty great and is probably what makes the movie not completely disposable.

3 out of 5 stars
