"Dead Earth" (originally "Two of Us") starts out slowly, but enjoyably -- two incredibly beautiful women (Milena Gorum and Alice Tantayanon) are living in a lovely house. They lounge around the house, clown around with each other, sun bathe, swim, do yoga, take showers, have hot lesbian sex, and all the while they are dressed in either skimpy clothes, bikinis, or are nude. At first, it looks like they are living in a paradise, but we discover from a radio that they are sheltering away from an outbreak of infection that is spreading throughout the land (it's not clear it the infected are alive or the living dead, but for convenience sake, in this review I will refer to them as "zombies.")
All is going swimmingly until the generator they've been using runs out of gas, and they need to venture out to find some. And inevitably, their safe environment doesn't remain safe and isolated forever and the girls need to fight survive...
Look, this movie is as good as it gets. The first half is two staggeringly gorgeous women dressed sexily (if at all) doing sexy things. The last half is these two staggeringly gorgeous women fighting zombies. I mean, what else could anybody want in a movie? The zombies are the "fast running" zombies (think "28 Days Later" -- this could have actually been in that universe) and they conveyed a real sense of danger -- the girls need to really fight to defeat them. Gorum and Tantayanon are, for the most part, the entire cast (a couple other bit roles) and fine in their roles.
I suspect that by now, you know whether or not you're going to like this movie or not, so if it's your cup of tea, definitely check it out. It totally worked for me. Also, it looks like this was intended to be part of a longer series; there is a chance encounter that doesn't really add anything but gives us a tiny hint of events that happened before, and there are hints of things that could happen after. Which would be fine with me, to be honest!
