Review of Dead Cert

Dead Cert (2010)
5/10
British remake of From Dusk Till Dawn
25 October 2011
It's always dangerous to mix to genres together especially when it has been done before. Face it, if you watch this British production then you surely will be reminded of From Dusk Till Dawn. Here we have gangsters in the first 45 minutes fighting against some Romanian thug. But once the Romanians have taken over the property of the Brits the Brits decide to take it all back. Wrong, the Romanians aren't just criminals, they are creatures of the night. So far so good.

The positive thing is the fact that it's spoken in cockney accent and I like that accent very much. Naturally they use slang but for those not understanding it all they included subs. The actors are all well known faces in the UK scene and some you will recognise from for example Perry Banson who played dad in Mum And Dad. Craig Fairbrass from Devil's Playground and others due appeared in blockbusters like Clash Of The Titans. So the acting was believable.

My only problem was the fact that it took a bit of time before the vampires arrived. Once they were there the red stuff do flows but it never becomes gory and sadly some of the red stuff is CGI. It's a weird flick, the chicks look awesome at the club and the acting was okay but it did lack a bit of real horror. Nevertheless, it was great to see all those actors together but the story failed a bit...

Fun to see Eleanor James again, sadly she didn't say anything and was only at the background. Common, you can do better...
