Not Perfect But Still A Great Movie!

"If you're a fan of horror comedies, then you'll like Die And Let Live. Justin Channell is definitely an up and coming filmmaker, his first film, Raising The Stakes is great and this one takes it to the next level! Mixing horror with Kevin Smith-esque dialogue, Justin manages to blend the two together beautifully. The story of two losers, one of whom desperately wants to date a long time crush, only to have everything thrown into a cocked hat by the rising of the dead, is both gory and funny...if you didn't think that was possible, then you have to check this out!
While it's a low budget movie, and not perfect, when you consider the budget, you'll be amazed at the quality of the feature. Justin, Josh Lively and Zane Crosby may be the next generation of Smith, Jay and Silent Bob for the horror genre!

"Wow! Didn't expect this to be so good. It reminds me a little of the film CHANCE by Amber Benson (Tara: From Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame)with a dash of CLERKS-ish humor with a few zombies thrown in!!
The quality of the film is great. Zombie effects could have been better but cudos to the first scene, where a zombie gets shot and smoke is oozing out the hole in its head! Another flaw is the character Bennie--His hair goes from short to buzz cut back and forth within scenes giving it a wierd feel. All the acting was really good--actually better and more believable than the "pretty" boys and girls found on network tv nowadays!
Otherwise, this is a funny modern zomedy film. Definately worth checking out. The maker of this flick surely has a promising film carrer."
