Quartile rating: 6.5/10 · 1 rating
The definitive zombie culture documentary, brought to the screen by the makers of THE PEOPLE vs. GEORGE LUCAS.
Doc of the Dead is a competent but unremarkable documentary surveying zombie culture, featuring interviews with genre luminaries like George Romero and Bruce Campbell. The structure is solid but formulaic for a talking-heads documentary, and the cinematography is functional at best. The subject matter has novelty in its comprehensive scope, but the execution rarely surprises. The ending wraps up without much impact, and the overall production feels like capable fan service rather than a landmark piece of filmmaking.
