Synopsis
Four horsemen, high school, gang, students
For four outcast teens, summer detention means being assigned to clean their high school after a horrific incident. But they are not alone; a macabre gang wearing guises of The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse - Famine, Pestilence, War and Death - has locked them inside and is hunting them through the school's ravaged hallways. As the four students battle to survive, each must confront the supernatural echoes of past traumas they have struggled to forget - and may be condemned to relive.

"Edgy."
I don't know, I had trouble following this film but I did notice that it was bad. Even through all the convoluted mess of a film this is I was still able to predict the ending about 10 minutes in. It's pseudo-intellectual garbage dressed up as edgy and I didn't care for it.
Nope.

I dug the Jacob's Ladder meets school shooting vibes but the twist is something you'll see coming once you're like five minutes into this thing, and the narrative unfolds in a way that makes it difficult to give a shit about anything that's happening.
Cool idea. Lame execution.

Keine Ahnung, was bei Film School Rejects los war, als sie diesen Film zum besten Horrorfilm von 2019 ernannt haben. Vermutlich eine Lobotomie.
"The Dead Ones" ist ein überambitionierter Hybrid aus "The Breakfast Club", "Elephant" und "Silent Hill", der seine kontroverse Story immer wieder selbstzweckhaft ausschlachtet und diese Mischung aus Schulmassaker und Geisterhorror zu genau dem macht, wonach es klingt: eine schlechte Idee.
Was The Dead Ones aber durchaus gelingt: Ein Gefühl von völliger Desorientierung zu kreieren und ein paar formelle Spielereien sind reizvoll umgesetzt - um dann direkt vom nächsten CGI-Murks überschattet zu werden. Mit mehr Budget und/oder mehr Fingerspitzengefühl hätte The Dead Ones ein sehr unangenehmer und nachhallender Film werden können, von dem mehr im Gedächtnis geblieben wäre als Maden, Maden, Maden.

I've had this film on my watch list for more than a year, so I made the decision to watch it today. Even though I had heard negative reviews for this film, I was nonetheless curious to see it. To be honest, this film is pretty lousy. The Dead Ones' interesting plot revolves around a a school shooting and has the potential to be amazing for a horror film. With this premise, there are countless possibilities. Unfortunately, this film falls flat. The Dead Ones has bland…

I agree with Jason that this is predictable. I figured things out before reveals, but unlike him, I actually enjoyed this. School shooting Jacob's Ladder is obviously low-budget, but nightmarish. Very Silent Hill as random paranormal creepiness comes and goes in the halls of an empty high school. Give me something like this any day over the more serious takes on the subject.
Watched with Jason.

"You guys ready to be famous?"
So this is what Will felt when he watched Del Playa. At least Del Playa didn't do half the shit this movie does.
Hey guys, how about we try to turn a gang of school shooters into cool masked killer icon types! Make them all distinct and cool looking as well so that some piece of shit will consider them awesome want to dress up them! How about we really focus and spend numerous scenes watching flashbacks to the school shooting! Make sure it is as exploitative as fuck! A girl must be seen peeing in her pants and the camera must linger on it! We must also have one of the shooters make…

Four students are forced to clean up their highschool in some sort of summer detention program. There also happens to be 4 masked assailants with weapons(including some sort of gas) hunting them throughout the school. The doors and windows are all locked so they have to face the mask wearing motley crew as well as their own hallucinations.
This was a decent indie film that needed to be fleshed out more. The 73 minute runtime wasn't long enough for the story they were trying to tell. The Dead Ones does offer some creepy visuals, dark shadowy school setting, some bloodletting, and characters with some depth. The main drawback for me was the overly predictable twist and the acting wasn't that strong.

Boring. I found it difficult to stay focused on the movie.
Predictable twist.
Maybe I’ll give it another shot one day.

This $600,000 budgeted Baltimore,Maryland(which is best known as The Land Of John Waters) lensed slasher/horror feature from director Jeremy Kasten(THE THEATRE BIZARRE,THE ATTIC EXPEDITIONS),who calls this film his very last film,and scriptwriter Zach Chassler(THE WIZARD OF GORE[2007]THE THIRST[2006]) involves a quartet of delinquent teen students(who consist of the likes of Amelia Talbot,Katie Foster-Barnes[FRIENDS WITH KIDS,GHOSTS DON'T EXIST],Brandon Thane Wilson[WONDER WOMAN 1984,LYMELIFE],and Shane Tunney[BETTER LIVING THROUGH CHEMISTRY]) who spend their class detention time in cleaning up their closed up school,which was the sight of a Columbine-esque murder spree that sends the massacre's trio of mask sporting killers back to terrorize their former slaying grounds.
Running at a relatively short 73 minutes,THE DEAD ONES is a massive failure in the manner that…

Okay I think I called what this is doing with the opening scene because I just watched his wizard of gore movie before this one. I think I like this dudes style a lot. This one does a good job of making you think it all makes sense and then heightening the other side of the coin. At first I thought it played its hand too early but it did a good job of at least making me second guess it over and over.

A film defeated by it's own attempt to be different. Right from the start, the film is purposefully vague, trying to hold back their big reveal. And unfortunately, because of the setting discrepancies, the obvious withdrawal of information, and convoluted logic, the reveal is not much of a reveal.
What I can say about "The Dead Ones" is that beyond the low budget, the amateur special effects, and the inconsistent acting, the film really displays an original eye for horror. The second half if this film delivered some very unique and creepy visuals, along with some nightmarish concepts. This shows promise but there's too much inconsistencies in this feature for me to recommend it. I like the ambition and hope to see polished work from this director.
