Just your average, generic zombie movie here...
Right, well with my unhealthy interest in all things zombie, of course I had to sit down and watch "Deadsight". I didn't know anything about it, much less knew of its existence before I stumbled upon this 2018 movie by random chance in mid-2019.
Well, the storyline in "Deadsight" didn't really deviate all that much from your average, generic zombie movie. A couple of survivors band together to live through a zombie outbreak. And the audience is, of course, given no insight into the outbreak - where it started, what it is, or anything of the like - surprise, surprise.
The movie had essentially just two characters you needed to relate to, the rest was just random filler. That meant that Adam Seybold, playing the blinded Ben Neilson, and Liv Collins, playing pregnant police officer Mara Madigan, had to perform on a higher level to carry the movie. So did they? Well, to an extend. It would have been working better if they had been given characters that were more fleshed out. Ben Neilson, for instance, didn't know how he ended up in an ambulance being blinded, but he had no problems remembering other things, and Mara Madigan seemed very surprised at everything they came upon while traveling, and she was supposed to be the local police officer. No, it just didn't really work all that well.
"Deadsight" is a fairly slow paced movie, which was a fact that worked against the overall enjoyment of the movie I'd say. And also the shortage of zombies wasn't really working in favor of the movie. And I love how the police officer resorted to shooting people in the head as her first option when entering a hostile situation. How very police-like. Duh!
The make-up on the zombies was adequate. Don't expect the usual gut eating scenes as zombie movies tend to include. But the make-up was, for the most part, good on the zombies in the movie. I didn't like the fact that the zombies were able to open windows and doors. That was just odd.
All in all, "Deadsight" is a mediocre entry in the zombie genre. It is a movie that came and went without as much as a groan, much less a bite. I sat through it, and I can honestly say that it is hardly a movie that warrants more than a single viewing.
