Watch Paris by Night of the Living Dead For Free

A Major Disappointment

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

At ten minutes this half joke half effects demo is OK. The couple are being married in Notre Dame and their vows include "Do you promise to help your spouse to reach God's Kingdom should they wander with dead people?" They are immediately beset by the familiar movie zombies which they dispatch with an assortment of weapons. Paris monuments become collateral damage until the pair are overtaken.This is the joke and it pretty much lasts the distance.Mlle Testa is quite winning and the carnage is managed with conventional zest.

This French undead film is a love story. I don't speak French, but there is little dialog and it's easy to follow even without understanding the language.It's a typical undead siege/apocalypse movie. It doesn't take itself too seriously.A handsome Frenchman and a gorgeous French woman are getting married. The church is overrun as the ceremony concludes. One knows, even without understanding the language, that they have pledged their love "until death do us part," or some such thing. They fight their way out of the church into an overrun Paris. I can't say more without telling the entire story.The special effects are great. The weapons handling is a little sloppy. For instance, the living fire full magazine bursts into one undead person rather than spraying a large number. Nonetheless, the fight sequences are fun to watch.The weapons get bigger as the chase gets hairier. Just when it seems all is lost, love smears its bloody self across the screen and the story ends happily.
