The Film the UNDEAD SHORT ESSAY.

This low-budget Australian flick the making of the UNDEAD shows so many affects and messages being sent to us trying to make everything look real and including the actors’ make up, props, costumes, trying them into zombies was the most stressful part because everyone in the crew had different ideas on what will look better and trying to fit everything with a very low budget. And also the special effects make the movie real and beilivable.

Also shotting in difficult weather conditions which made thing very hard for the cast because every day it was different which made it hard.

The props were also in a difficult situation some props did need to be made from starch and it is because of the low budget.

The action and violence it needed a lot of work for the film to look really scary and to look real like e.g.  A zombie punching through an old woman’s head, a guy with a triple shotgun blows a zombie in half, zombie heads fly as a woman attacks them with a broom with a saw blade attached, a van spatters zombies and sprays blood all over the windshield it took the cast many times to look after all the typing they got and finally put it all together.

The violence in this film, and there is rather a LOT of it, is absolutely hilarious. I mean, it’s splatter and silly and blood also its way, way over-the-top which makes it very interesting and how they did it shows that there want more watchers and contacting on what’s going to happen next and how to scare people.

The makeup effects which made the zombies come to life and scary and funny because it really does look funny but also to show there emotion and what they look like.

This is everything you’d expect from a low-budget horror movie, with the added bonus of a set of actors, writers, and directors who were out to have a really good time and make a great film.
