Black zombies are back, cool! Works very well. It was already clear to me by Demoni 3 (1991), but The Dead confirmed it again dozens of decades later. Cool setting, especially when the traditional, dragging zombies come into view. Particularly effective. However, that does not apply to the rest. Really a complete miss in terms of protagonist. The plot also suffers from the slow pace. Could easily have been 20 minutes shorter. It's not really surprising, so why bother. Would have been really good as bite-sized zombie trash, now it still seems a bit too much like standard B-trash with terrible editing (why so wild?!). Doesn't do the great (zombie) effects justice...

Rather boring zombie film, maybe it's also because I saw all the seasons of TWD this summer 
It wasn't bad, but it was just too slow for me, I also missed something cool, some tension, well it was all for me too ordinary.

And there was the last of the pile of questionable zombie films with four particularly bad, and one slightly less bad in the form of Undead, as predecessors. After seeing the trailer, the hope was that there was something in this, and this was the best guess of the six. But unfortunately, this was again nothing.
And it must be said that The Dead is not off to a bad start with a bit of pace, kills, Gore, zombies and a different setting than usual in the form of Africa. The camera work is not bad at all and sometimes there is even a reasonable design with images and moments of tension. But with Murphy on his way inland, the question for me is what he actually plans to do, something that will continue with the car.
While the village and preparing the car for road use still contain some reasonable moments, the trip by car is all clumsiness and I wonder why it is depicted this way and what it adds. The team-up with Daniel actually doesn't change much in a film that has actually developed into a road movie at that point, but a road movie in which, apart from a single incident, damn little actually happens. And so number six, and thus the last of the questionable zombie films, ends in disappointment. The Dead is better than the five previous films, but it also does not sufficiently deserve a place in my collection.
