Wasn’t 100% what I thought it would be, but I still liked it!

Decade-thon 15.11.2025
Andre film på agendaen i dag ble The Walking Dead. Ikke som i serien. Ikke en zombie film i det hele tatt.

Boris Karloff spiller en mer menneskelig versjon av Monsteret til Frankenstein her. Han spiller ypperlig, og medspillerne i filmen er også alle av god kvalitet.

Jeg likte filmen utrolig godt faktisk. Den har flere moralske og filosofiske spørsmål alà Frankenstein, men har også en fin noir flair. Greide ikke å ikke tenke på nyere forskning rundt musikk og demens når Karloffs karakter spilte på pianoet der. Vet denne filmen ikke handler om demens, men allikevel viser filmen at en mann som har glømt det meste fortsatt husker musikken sin. Veldig fint.

Bleak yet romantic, The Walking Dead reads like a love story to the idea of guilt. Unable to turn away from it when the very thing you've done wrong comes back to haunt you, literally. I feel like I have to write something earnest in the hopes of counteracting all the joke-y reviews this film has for its unfortunate name. A brief story that I feel could have benefited from an extra thirty minutes to smooth out a few transitional moments but in the end the storytelling is so tight you don't even really notice what details might be lacking.

There however is no shortage of hauntingly beautiful and well lit shots set to a somber classical score. A movie that oozes beauty in the truest sense of the word "gothic." Karloff's ability to simultaneously be so soft and somber while giving the most chilling stares is masterful. He isn't explosive or vengeful but instead just asks a very simple question to those who have wronged him: why?

Boris Karloff stuns!

Karloff did not ask to be reanimated, but he was forced too and in the walking dead (the movie not the tv show) he seeks revenge on the mobsters who did it to him. Really love the mesh between a mob film and a horror film here.
