The Ford Brothers' "sequel" to Africa-set The Dead stages unrelated, bog-standard, zombie pish on the subcontinent. White Englishman (and former cast member of The Sarah-Jane Adventures) Joseph Millson is the lead playing an American. There's a subplot with an orphan that seems to have strayed in from an old Disney live action movie and some clunky dialogue about reincarnation. Dull, dull, dull.

I've read mixed opinions about this, and haven't seen the first film. You may be aware that I'm not a great fan of zombie films (apart from the Caribbean variety) but.....these sound like reasonably high profile modern British Horror Films. Made in earnest. And one is a sequel....Surely it must be a better BHF franchise than Robert The Doll?
