| Synopsis |
In the near future, zombies have become a protected, endangered species, held in captivity and legally wandering the streets free from harm by the living. But for the loved ones of those who die, sometimes coping is just too much to handle, especially when not everyone feels the dead have a right to exist, and are willing to break the law to rid the world of this new population of the dead. – Wild Eye Releasing

| My Thoughts |
A Plague So Pleasant is A Super low Budget Post Apocalyptic film dealing with the coexistence of the Living and The Undead. The film has some good ideas like the grave site’s. Instead of tombstones we get Zombies. For 3 Grand we do get a good amount of People involved in the Acting department, but mostly Zombies. Makeup wise its not that great for but it works even if it’s just wet toilet paper but thanks to the Black and White it helps cover it up some.
Now the film isn’t all in Black and White, We get Color shots but to be honest it would have been better in Black and White as PQ decreases when color kicks in. Story wise the film is OK and like I said above it has some cool ideas but its a small story. The Gore factor is small but it’s not bad for what it is.
Overall the film is Just OK and I have to say for $3k it’s not a bad watch. Yes, its not scary, the story is just OK with no Character development and the film doesn’t give the view much emotion but for a Super low budget film its worth the check and the film does bring in some new ideas even if they only last for a few minutes.
With that said I give the film a Down the middle ratting of 2,5 out of. If you like low budget films and interested in film making then this film might appeal to you. Check it out but I have to say it wont appeal to everyone even horror fans may find the low budget factor getting in the way. But Hey Look at it like that… A Low budget film and see how much $3k Stretched for them.
