My First Impressions Of the All Of Us Are Dead Live Action TV Series

 



Horror fans I very rarely if every get excited for a horror TV show mostly because I know that the show in question will never be able to deliver on the good scares on an episode by episode basis. However there is one show that has just started out that actually has some freaking promise and so join me as I give you my first impressions on the show that in all honesty looks like a high school version of Train To Busan with the TV show in question being freaking called freaking simply just " All Of Us Are Dead" enjoy.

The plot of this show is a zombie outbreak occurs in a Korean high school and so all if it's students and most of it's staff have to try and fight to stay alive or risk becoming an actual freaking zombie themselves. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the plot line that's being featured / presented to us in this show thus far in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot line that's being featured / presented to us in this show thus far is so far at least really freaking good but of course that could change over the coming episodes but so far at least this show is of to a really freaking good start in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in the first two episodes of the show that I watched are Victoria Grace as On-jo and Darren Keilan as Lee Su-Hyeok. Also starring in these first two episodes of this very freaking show are Harrison Xu as Chung-san , Lisa Yamada as Hyo-Ryeong and Rich Ting as Chief Of Staff Seon-Moo. Yes this post is being based of the English dubbed version of the show which isn't ideal to say the least but it was the only version of the show that I could find and yes so far at least this dubbing is pretty freaking good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty really freaking. I of course cannot speak for the Korean but the dubbed acting does so far at least seem to be really freaking good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now these first two episodes of this show gave me some very freaking serious Highschool Of The Dead vibes. Which isn't a bad thing since I loved that show but the same time when your to bust reminding people of another zombie school themed show then your clearly not doing something right which is a shame because a zombie outbreak occurring in a high school is a genuinely good freaking idea in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Now then I will very fully admit that the only reason as to why I watched Train To Busan yesterday was incase of the fact that this show gave me some serious Train To Busan vibes. Which in all honesty was a good thing because of the fact that this film did infact give me some serious Train To Busan vibes mostly in how the zombie in these first two episodes were being portrayed since they were being portrayed in the exact same way as they were being portrayed in the film Train To Busan which was a pretty freaking bad thing in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then I really did like the high school setting of the first two episodes simply because it means that we get to see alot more zombies. Which in all honesty actually makes these first two episodes seems a lot more creepier and a lot more epic and scarier then what they actually are because now there are at least a couple of thousand zombies all around the school and and any of them could attack our main cast of heroes or even characters at any freaking second which is just a freaking cool idea in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Now then one of the things that I really did hate about this first episode is the fact that it takes nearly the entire first episodes running time to get to some actual zombie action. With the res of episode ones running time being used to show the characters in school and what there private lives are like which in all honesty really does make that first feel alot more like a high school drama series that you would see airing on the The CW and not an actual zombie show / or even zombie series in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then episode one had a grand total running time of exactly one hour and six minuets and twenty seconds where as episode twos running time was exactly one hour and ten minuets and one second which means that both of the episodes combined had a grand total running time of exactly two hours and sixteen minuets and three seconds. Which having a zombie run well over an hour long per episode isn't that much of a good thing because each episode feel like it's a being a chore to sit through and that's the one things that you don't really want to be the freaking case in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then since this show is a zombie show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual zombie killings that are actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual zombie killings that were actually featured / presented to us in these episodes weren't all that bad. Since even tho yes they were just the stereotypical zombie bite kind of kills the kills in these first episodes actually added to the overall drama of this shows first two episodes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall this show does so far at the very least seem to be off to a guard start and the IMDB ratings for both of these first two episodes does seem to reflect that this is a good show to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very post and since this post is just me giving my first impressions of this very show I will not be giving a rating for this show as this isn't a review of the show itself but rather my first impressions of the show itself.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Train To Busan fandom wiki page , Wikipedia and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film up on Google Images and pus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we ends this review as we always do with our ne and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some very unpleasant dreams.

Train To Busan Film Review

 



Horror fans you've all seen me review plenty of horror films from North America and while that won't be stopping anytime sometimes it's nice to look at how horror is done in other countries in this great big world of ours. So I thought that i'd take a look at what is quite possibly Asian horror movie ever made and join me as I review what is quite possibly a really freaking loved zombie horror movie with the film in question being called simply just "Train To Busan" enjoy.

The plot of this film a group of passengers are stuck on a train when a zombie outbreak occurs and have to somehow survive the oncoming zombies before the train reaches it's final destination. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this film in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot of this film was in all honesty really freaking good and it's main setting actually helps make the film ten times more creepier and thus scarier then what it actually is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 



Starring in this film is Gong Yoo as Seok-woo , Kim Su-an as Su-an and Ma Dong-seok as Yoon Sang-hwa. Also starring in this film is Jung Yu-mi as Seong-kyeong , Choi Woo-shik as Min Yong-guk , Ahn So-hee as Kim Jin-hee , Kim Eui-sung as Yon-suk , Choi Gwi-hwa as The Homeless Man , Jang Hyuk-jin as Ki-chul , Park Myung-sin as Jong-gil , Ye Soo-jung as In-gil and Jeong Seok-yong as The Captain Of The KTX.

Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very very film was really freaking. Which was something that I wasn't in all honesty expecting to be the case at all since i've never even seen a South Korean horror film and so I have no idea what to expect from this film acting wise and I was shocked to see that this film had some really freaking good acting within it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then what alot of people don't know is that this film actually spawned an anime prequel film with that film in question being called simply just Seoul Station. From what I can gather that film features none of the characters from this film and instead focuses on events that are leading up to the events of this film which is in all honesty a really freaking good way to do an actual prequel film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then this film does what very few other zombie films dare to actually do and that's to actually make you care about this films main cast of characters. No joke here this film had me caring so much about it's main cast of characters that I was close to actual tears by the end of the film and that is something that literally no other zombie film has ever done and it's such a shame because of the fact a freaking zombie movie is where you should be caring the most about your freaking cast of main freaking characters in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then believe it or not there were somethings that I really didn't like about this film like the fact that this film rally doesn't give us a clear set of zombie rules. Like we we have no idea if these zombie operate by either sight or sound because of the fact that both of those rules just come and go as and when the film wants it to which makes it harder for me personally to be scared for these characters because I have no idea on how zombies are going to react in certain situations which for me at least is a very freaking ad thing indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


So now then the other things that I really didn't like was the character of Su-an just because she came across as being annoying to me personally. Plus she wasn't really acting like how a kid would act at the start of the film like for example regardless of how you feel about the parent a kid will always be happy that they now own two freaking games consoles even if it is the exact same console but I will also admit that the writing for this character could have made this character alot more freaking annoying that what she actually ended up freaking being in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifty eight minuets and eight seconds. Which is in all honesty a tad bit on the much more longer side for a story like the one that we have in this film since there's no reason whatsoever as to why this film absolutely needed to be nearly freaking two freaking hours long since you very easily could have told this films exact storyline in about one hour and forty to possibly even one hour and forty five minuets long in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.


So now then this film is of course a horror film of course and that means that I have to actually talk about the actual scares and or kills that are featured / presented to us in this very film and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual scares and or kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film were really freaking good. Yes the kills in this film were basic getting bitten by an actual zombie kill but what made this film scary was it's setting because setting the film on a train means that even going to the next car is a life threatening  mission and that makes this film all the more scarier in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this film was such a good zombie film was it the best zombie film ever made nope not by a freaking long shot but it's easily the second best zombie film ever made behind the original Dawn Of The Dead in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review the official Train To Busan fandom wiki page and lastly also from Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images that are actually from this film and that that I personally / actually used in this very review being Google Images this is simply because Google Images actually has alot of images from this film and plus alot of / nearly all of the images that are from this film and that are currently up on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition and as always we end this review as we always do which is with one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some very freaking unpleasant dreams indeed.

My Ranking Of The A Nightmare On Elm Street Films From Worse To Best

 


Nightmare fans since it's been a really freaking long time since i've talked about A Nightmare On Elm Street I thought that i'd tell you all what my own personal ranking is for these films. Just to make things a little bit easier on myself i'm not going to be counting the crossover film Freddy Vs. Jason since that film is based in a different continuity and i'm only including as it bares the A Nightmare On Elm Street so yeah enjoy this post everybody.

8) FREDDY'S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE
 

Now then I think we can all agree that out of the original timeline of films that this film is very quite freaking easily the worst film in the A Nightmare On Elm Street canon. This is simply because this film takes anything that was left intact be the fifth film and completely throws it out of the window and this film turns Freddy Krueger into quite literally a cartoon character which just doesn't make the character that freaking scary at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this film also follows the trend of the much more later A Nightmare On Elm Street filmed sequels. Just by adding in alot more humor and while yes these films have always had humor in them they were always dark jokes that only Freddy would get and thud find funny but in this film it's like decided to make a comedy but also wanted to make some money and so they took a preexisting comedy script and turned very freaking badly into a A Nightmare On Elm Street film script in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

7) A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2010 FILM VERSION



Now then horror remakes are the absolutely bane of any self respecting horror fans life since when they are done good we get films like The Thing but when they are done bad we get the next film in this post. Since yeah this film is nothing more then a by the books remake with scenes from the original that are terribly freaking remade in this film with those just being done to remind us all that we could be watching a much better freaking film in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.

So now then I will give this film some small credit by least attempting to make Freddy Krueger scary again the issue with that is however tho is that they also try to make actually funny again and so Freddy Krueger himself is trying to be two different things at once. With none of those things working because of the fact that this film is written by two people whom cannot write a decent screenplay between them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

6) A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 5: THE DREAM CHILD 


Now then this film continues the trend of the later A Nightmare On Elm Street sequels going of the rails and also this film also kind of jumps the shark. Just simply by having Freddy Krueger ride a skateboard altho you could very well argue that the second film had Freddy Krueger jump the shark first but in this film it was just done in such a corny that oddly out of character for the actual of Freddy Krueger to be actually riding a freaking skateboard in this freaking film in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.

So no then once again I will give this film some form of credit for least continuing forward with continuity from the previous films. Since would be something that actual die hard fans of this franchise would love and appreciate but at the same time this film could have done with having an actually better script since yeah this freaking film is just freaking weird for sake of being weird as all heck in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

5) A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY'S REVENGE


Now then this film is perhaps the most polarizing film in the A Nightmare On Elm Street film and multi media franchise. Since even tho this film breaks the already established rules of the franchise it also praised for touching upon gay themes something which the writer of this film admitted was fully intentional which admittedly was a very brave thing of this writer to very freaking openly admit to doing in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now I really cannot forgive this film openly and so brazenly breaking all of the rules that were set u and thus established in the first film. Since it's those exact same rules that made the first film alot more creepy and scary then what it already was and if you going to break those rules then you better have a dammed good freaking reason for freaking doing so in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.

4) A NIGHTMAARE ON ELM SCTREET 4: THE DREAM MASTER


Now then we are finally into the actually freaking good A Nightmare On Elm Street films and what better film to start of these actually good films with then one that what is considered to be a fan favourite A Nightmare On Elm Street film. I have to say that out of the later sequels e this one is quite easily one of the freaking most fun freaking films to watch in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this film does indeed mark the decline in quality of the A Nightmare On Elm Streets and as well as the fact that from this film to The Dream Child they would have Freddy Krueger do something that's just for the freaking kids. Which doesn't work out the well at all I mean it's fine for one film to try and appeal to the teenage audience but when the very next film also does that it just comes across as being cheap and very freaking pandering in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

3) WES CRAVEN'S NEW NIGHTMARE


Now then alot of people really do hate this film and I have no idea why since it's actually well written later A Nightmare On Elm Street film sequel. On top of that it does something new with the idea of Freddy Krueger simply by having this film focus on the actors whom have appeared in the alot of the A Nightmare On Elm Street films which is in all honesty such a freaking good idea in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then I can fully understand why alot of people really do hate this film but at the same freaking time. This is a film that brought the A Nightmare On Elm Street franchise back from the dead and put it back into the hands of it's original creator Wes Craven and that is something that you have to like about this film regardless of what your own personal opinions are about this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

2) A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS


Now then out of all the A Nightmare On Elm Street sequels this film is quite easily the best sequel in this freaking franchise. Simply because it not respects the lore and it respects the rules of this franchise but it also advances the franchises overall story arc and it also makes Freddy Kruger the strongest that he's ever been which is something that alot of the sequels in this franchise just fail to do in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then the best choice that new Line Cinema made when making this film was letting original franchise creator Wes Craven write this film because whom else would know this franchise and these characters better then him. Altho Wes Craven's original was a bit out there to say the least the core of the story was more then strong enough to survive through all of the rewrites of the script and that helped make this film even freaking better then it already is / was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

1) A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 1984 FILM VERSION


Now then of course this film was going to be the very top of this post because of the fact that it's the film that started it all. Which means that everybody involved with the making of this film had to be really freaking creative and that means that this film would only turn out to be good because once you get alot of people actually being creative you end up with a really freaking good film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very freaking post well then boys and girls and as well ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this post from the official A Nightmare On Elm Street fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images that are actually from this film and that that I personally / actually used in this very review being Google Images this is simply because Google Images actually has alot of images from this film and plus alot of / nearly all of the images that are from this film and that are currently up on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition and as always we end this review as we always do which is with one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some very unpleasant dreams indeed.
