Bridge of the Doomed (2022)
A really good action zombie movie
Reminded me of things like A Bridge Too Far, Bridge of the River Kwai and Snakes on a Plane. Bridge of the Doomed features a brand new set of faces as well as some familiar ones. Robert LaSardo was very good as one of the leads: he played it well and took the movie seriously. This is not one of those typical zombie movies that are unimaginative and doesn't have much motive other than living. After The Walking Dead, those missing it should watch this film too. Soundtrack was great and had a cool 80's synth type feel, paying homage to Romero's Day of the Dead or something along those lines. 10/10.
Numbers (2022)
Death Count
What is just as impressive is the fascinating way in which the affair combines numerical, literary, and sonic clues which may aid in the contributors' survival in the second half of the fiction. The quickness and unpredictability with which most of the cast gets slaughtered in the mesmerizing first act is just as noteworthy. Such measures create a welcome balance to the more routine beats of the composition. It also makes the endeavor far more palpable in the nerve-shredding anticipation it brilliantly builds.
From a technical perspective, the work is equally stalwart. The cinematography from Su and music from Scott Glasgow is atmospheric and immersive. I especially enjoyed the incorporation of the fitting track from Psycho Synner, the Jeremy Spencer and Shawn McGee penned "The Torture Never Stops" (2021), during the enthralling end credits. Moreover, the editing from Jeremy Wanek, costume design by Joe Lujan, sound, makeup, stunts, and effects are all outstanding.
Also identified as Numbers, Death Count is a scrappy, in-your-face midnight movie. It isn't as groundbreaking as the features from which it derives inspiration. Regardless, it will assuredly please those of us who are always frantically searching for a stellar dose of grueling cinematic terror. A Mahal Empire, Mezek Films, and Blaen-Y-Maes Bootleg Films production, Su's exercise is twisted fun. It's also one of the best genre undertakings of the year.
