Watch The Dead and the Damned For Free

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Good concept, poorly executed.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

'The Dead and the Damned' tells the story of a bounty hunter who chases an American Indian, but when he returns with his latest prisoner, everyone in town has turned into zombies since they found some green glowing alien thing. The two enemies become friends, as they have to fight the zombies together and - naturally - save a pretty blonde from being eaten alive.I didn't expect more than a brainless shoot-em-up, but actually this a rather good movie for the small budget. There are dialogs that make sense and give the characters a background story. The camera shots tell you that these guys know their movie history (for example, using wide angle when someone points a gun towards the camera, it gives you that 'Clint Eastwood uses a Magnum 44' feel). It may seem funny that the main character always takes so long to reload, by the way, but that only shows that most other movies are not very realistic in that respect, you know, six-shooters with 10 bullets. The zombie make-up surely is cheap and pizza-like, but they reminded me a bit of the zombies in Umberto Lenzi's "Nightmare City" in the way they looked and moved, and that's a trash classic. So, all in all I don't think I wasted my time. German DVD is entitled 'Django vs Zombies' and that title looks really cool on my shelf, even if slightly misleading.

Bad production, bad script, bad premise, horrible deus ex machina type ending. And quite possibly the worst acting I've ever seen, especially from the lead David Lockhart. This guy is the WORST on screen cowboy ever. He needs both hands to pull the hammer back on a revolver. He walks like he's got a stick up his butt. I don't think his voice ever changed at puberty... he sounds like he's on helium the whole time. I dunno. I stayed up and watched it on the Horror channel because I'm in the middle of writing my own cowboys versus zombies script and when I saw this was coming on, I thought, "Oh crap." But I have nothing to worry about. At all. Avoid this.

After a pair of miners crack open a strange meteor, alien spores infect the townsfolk of a small mining community, turning them into ravenous zombies. High-pitched bounty hunter Mortimer (David A. Lockhart), noble Indian brave Brother Wolf (Rick Mora) and winsome wench Rhiannon (Camille Montgomery) attempt to escape the area before becoming zombie chow.Originally called The Dead and the Damned, this was retitled as Cowboys & Zombies for its DVD release, no doubt in a desperate attempt to associate itself with recent Hollywood blockbuster Cowboys & Aliens. Those dumb enough to confuse the two films should count themselves lucky, though: its budget might have been a fraction of the Daniel Craig/Harrison Ford movie, but Cowboys & Zombies actually proves to be the marginally more enjoyable effort.Unlike Cowboys & Aliens, which given its huge budget and A-list talent was a huge disappointment, Cowboys & Zombies actually lives up to expectations ie., it's a poorly acted, shot on a shoestring, goofy B-movie horror that hasn't a clue what to do with its initial premise (the film meanders aimlessly before ending abruptly) but it at least manages to deliver blood, guts, zombies, and good looking, big breasted gals shedding their clothes, which is better than 118 minutes and $163 million worth of dreary, poorly written, CGI enhanced drivel in my book.

after the watching super 8 last night and struggling to stay awake through a group of stupid kids running around a one horse town this film made a refreshing change yes it is low budget but that is part of the appeal and the guns well i reckon they are the most realistic sounding guns that i have seen and heard when you remember its what they had in the real wild west zombies looked good and just enough story line to keep it entertaining right to the end, well done and certainly worth a watch. i have found many films like this are more enjoyable than the so called big movies which for some reason get rave reviews no matter how bad they are, a movie is about some time out from reality for relaxation and entertainment and this is both, well done what happened to the horse lol
