Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead

Movie: Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead
Language: Japanese
Media Partner: Netflix
Source: Netflix
DialR4Review RATED 6/10

If you watched the trailer, I would recommend to stop it there itself. No need to sit through the full length of this movie. There is nothing more exiting than in the trailer. I really liked the concept and get bit high hope as it is the adaptation from animation. It was quite good in the beginning, later it becomes highly predictable and not much exiting moments in the story. But there are some interesting zombie fights here and there, but just for these small excitements, we can not sit through this movie fully. It lacks good screenplay and content. When the wishes become silly and simple, you lost the interest on the flow.

The story is good, the premise is perfect for entertainer but they miserably failed in all aspects. From the beginning to end everything is not in par. Only very few seconds of good moments in the movie... remaining all are not worthy First from the ghost to the monster, it looks so cheap and not at all scary. The sound effect also not helping to the flow. It just punctures your ear. I felt like I am watching 2.30 hrs movie. Definitely this is not worth for the time spend.

Blade of the Immortal

Movie: Blade of the Immortal
Language: Japanese
Media Partner: Nil

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

I was expecting some good revenge action flick with immortal fights. This movie has more on sword and less on vengeance... The story is good and the sentiments and Vengeance are there, but the as overall picture it is so lengthy with repeated sword fights without much on action choreography.... the fights looks repetitive, the stuntmen are always huge and too many hand cuts. There is no interest in the fights, its just clinking of swords. The starting is great, once the vengeance sequence starts it lost its touch and scatter too much with more side stories and characters. Bit disappointed.

The Outsider

Movie: The Outsider
Language: Japanese
Media Partner: Nil

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

This real solid Japanese gangster Family drama. It has more drama than the action. The movie has solid cast and fantastic acting. This really helps the standard of the movie. I felt the movie making was looks like Indian Gangster cinema. Some scenes resembles me the "Vada Chennai" movie. I liked it very much. The movie is not unique and it has its own flaws like lack of originality. There is not much action sequences, but the gangster rivalry and the conclusion for the "outsider" is quite catchy. The open ended climax is so opt for this movie, even though it is bit slow i the middle.

DialR4Review RATED 9/10

Super cool zombie horror which requires patience to enjoy the real flavour... I was bit underwhelmed by the starting scenes and loosing interest on the first part... other than the "single shot" making, there is nothing interesting in the first part....Found some scenes were so repeating and unnecessary.... When the second half starts, all the first half scenes starts to make sense...the second half is full of fun riot... they justifies each and every frame in the first half... The best part is the final making video... it was so great and super fun to watch. The sentiment aspect was so handled well, when the daughter shows the photo to her father.... touching.... The full package horror movie to enjoy by every zombie fans....
