My only fear is that I would be trapped in an elevator with this group of bad actors and unable to open the door to welcome the zombies. Remember when you were 5 and someone hid and jumped out at you? That was scary! This movie is not. I didn't find much enjoyment in this 2020 zombie movie, but perhaps you will. My rating of "Deadlocked" ends on a four out of ten stars. The movie had the right intentions and the drive, but the transition from script to screen just didn't play out all that well. In terms of entertainment value, then "Deadlocked" just felt like a swing and a miss for me. I mean, sure you can tell that the actors and actresses are not at the top shelf, but they performed well enough with the restrictions imposed upon them by the script and plot. At least that was something that definitely worked well in favor of the movie. And while the movie takes place during the first hours of a zombie outbreak, director Josh Bailey did manage to keep the zombies interesting enough, I mean that they weren't heavily decayed and decomposed shambling corpses. However, the movie just doesn't have the contents or the energy to make it to the big league. "Deadlocked" feels like an ambitious low budget project actually made right by director Josh Bailey. But hey, such are most zombie movies, just dropping the audience right into the chaos, and not bothering with providing an explanation or anything. Much less give you any sense of this being a realistic way that the movie is set up, as I would assume there would have been things leading up to the massive event, and it wouldn't just occur out of the blue. But the storyline just doesn't provide the audience with any information as to how or why it happens. Being trapped inside an elevator, while the world falls apart outside does seem interesting, sure. In fact, the movie ended up being rather monotonous and mundane, truth be told. Sure, the concept idea for the script and storyline was good, but the transition to the screen just didn't have that special ingredient to make it jump out in your face and leave a lasting impression. Sure, most of the movies in the zombie genre tend to be rather lousy, but still I sit down to watch it, as chance would have it perhaps the current movie is gold. I do love everything even remotely zombiesque. No, that did change, because Ruben, when he turned it into a movie, wanted it to end really big, so we changed the third act to make it an amusement park and a big fight.Another zombie movie release, and of course I am here like a vulture. We did what we were going to do in episode two and put it in. And the second 40 pages are pretty much episode two of the pilot script. The first 60 pages of the movie are pretty much the pilot script, interestingly. Which interestingly, the pilot pretty much stayed the same. Paul Wernick: Extended it out from pilot form into movie. And we wrote it what? About two years ago? And sort of with the passion of an executive at Sony TV, Chris Parnell, and Gavin Palone, our producer on the project, they sort of presented us the option of sort of turning it into a sort of a back-door pilot, sort of a made-for-TV movie, which we graciously jumped at. And it sat at Sony TV, who we had been partnered with on the project, for several years. And went through a little bit of development at CBS, and we did not end up making the pilot. #Subvert zombie tv#And we wrote it as a spec, feeling that the zombie genre had not really been tapped in the TV side. Coming off of reality TV, we wanted to sort of break in at sort of traditionally scripted stuff. It started, what? In 2005, summer of 2005 as a spec we wrote.
