I started watching horror movies last year in the beginning of 2009, I found many fun movies (not the best, but worthwhile). I am very easy to amuse, so i even enjoyed films like See No Evil(2006), Wes Craven's Shocker, i even like all the Saw Movies (including 5, which seems to be my second fav...even though it's considered the worst) but when i saw The Quick and the Undead.....i was clearly disappointed. It's basically a western, where zombies are everywhere, and there are bounty hunters that kill them and cash em in for reward....tell that does not sound like a cool movie...but alas this film has the worst dialogue i have ever heard. It was so boring that it came to the point where i just did my household chores, and the movie was still being played....just as background noise. When i come back...the people are in some abandoned house...but it stills doesn't get any better.....if there was any dialogue, acting, or even cool kills, i would recommend it but unfortunately this movie really does blow....I have no problem with low budget movies...but when there's a low budget movie, and it cant make up for it's bad budget with impressive acting, or even good directing.....it's as good as a paperweight..... Simply throw the movie away.....the DVD case is honestly more useful than the movie...PS sorry for the bad spelling...im a noob :)

I went into watching this film expecting a throw away storyline. I was quite surprised by how much I actually enjoyed it. The moment I saw the Goth Cowboy costume I was on my way to being impressed.I adored the camera work, and the make-up. The way each zombie had its' own individual look impressed me greatly. The storyline was interesting, fairly realistic and had its' own quirky sense of humour. It reminded me of 'Evil Dead 2' at times.This is not a film for those who swoon for 'Resident Evil', and have never seen 'Night of the Living Dead'. It does not deliver senseless, dragging action. The humour is too subtle for fans of outright spoofs, such as 'Shaun of the Dead'.This is definitely going on my list of films to acquire, who can go past a goth cowboy hunting zombies? If that is not comic genius, I don't know what is.All this film really needed to be a cult classic, is Bruce Campbell.disclaimer. this is not a fake review. I am not related to, or endorsed by any of the films creators. Conspiracy theories can be put to rest. As amusing as wasting time writing fake reviews on the Internet Movie Database may be.

I'm no director or writer or anything related to a movie. But watching more than 1 movie everyday has given me the idea of what is a good movie or not. So here it is: The quick and the undead is a rip-off of the Quick and the Dead. I was thinking that it could be a little bit of a parody of a cool movie with lots of starts in it. But oh no, I was really in for an very big disappointment.To put it simply the movie sucks. I'm a big fan of gore movies but this one just gives you gore here and there but they are not that consistent.But I have to give them credit in creating gruesome characters which has given me a little bit of squirm.If you're a big fan of zombies, watch this. If you're not...better look for other rob zombie films.

The production company for this film calls itself 'Nott Entertainment', and that is a surprisingly apt name. This very is very 'Nott' entertaining from start to finish, which is a shame because a mix of zombie movie and western could have been interesting. Every time a low budget zombie movie is released, it will tend to be "for the fans by the fans". I do actually consider myself a fan of zombie movies, but too many more like this one and I'll be re-evaluating my opinion! The film seems to be a rip-off of the half-decent Aussie zombie flick 'Undead', expect instead of just having the lead in a cowboy hat; everyone is wearing one; but this doesn't make a lot of sense because the film is apparently set in modern times. The credits sequence at the start of the movie fools us into believing that we're going to be in for an atmospheric film, but when the movie starts properly; it soon becomes apparent what we're actually in for. Naturally, there's a fair amount of gore and it is actually fairly well done, though the good things I have to say about the film pretty much end there. There's a twist half way through which might have been interesting if the rest of the film was. Overall, this is just another zombie movie in a world with far too many zombie movies. I don't recommend it.
