Different times during the course of the year, certain events happen that reminds of us certain films. For example, Christmas we think of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, Halloween we think of John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween’, and so on, but when it comes to that rare date during the course of the year, Friday the 13th we think of only one horror film franchise of the same name. For over 30 years, Jason Voorhees has been haunting us on that date and in our nightmares for a long time.

Being a huge fan of living dead films and of Night of the Living Dead, it is hard to watch these type of films because you know going in that it won’t be as good as NOTLD or that they are just gonna try and copy it somehow. Well, I was completely wrong when it came to this film. I was blown away by The Dead. It is original, heart-warming, and for once it takes place in another country! Finally something different, but it doesn’t stop there with its originality.
