Starting off with a surprisingly strong premise, The Eschatrilogy: Book of the Dead actually managed to hook me for the first 30 to 35 minutes. The opening acts offered enough intrigue, atmosphere, and promise that I found myself genuinely interested in seeing where it was headed. Unfortunately, after that initial setup, the film completely lost its footing and began a steady tumble into cinematic chaos. It’s one of those experiences where you can tell the writers had a vision — a solid idea that probably looked great on paper — but somewhere along the way, the execution simply unraveled. The pacing began to drag, the tone shifted unevenly, and the story stopped making the kind of sense you need in a horror anthology like this. The first act feels like a dark, moody descent into something meaningful; everything afterward just feels like watching that meaning drain away scene by scene. The screenplay is where the collapse truly happens. It starts with tight, moody storytelling and characters that seem layered enough to keep us invested. But halfway through, the writing loses confidence in itself. The narrative begins to meander, the dialogue grows flat, and by the time the film tries to tie its segments together, it’s already lost the emotional or thematic weight it needed. There’s a frustrating sense that The Eschatrilogy could have been something special if it had stayed on the path it established early on. The cinematography and tone show glimpses of ambition — moments where you think, “Okay, this could go somewhere interesting.” But then the structure falls apart, and instead of delivering the eerie, interconnected horror it promised, it just settles into mediocrity. By the end, it feels like a film that wanted to be deep but forgot how to stay coherent. It’s not unwatchable, but it’s definitely disappointing — especially after such a promising start. The first thirty minutes might convince you to stick around, but everything after that proves it wasn’t worth the investment.

So bad, but so funny

If it's so bad then why did i give it an average score?.... Hmmmmm!. The acting is just terrible and i am pretty sure i have seen more convincing performances on TV adverts. The script makes Eastenders look half way impressive (Impossible feat i know) and as for the special effects. Well, they wouldn't look out of place on Red Dwarf. Still, i had such a laugh watching this film that i can forgive just how awful it is. It's one of them very rare 1 or 10 star rated films depending on your mood kind've like sandsharks. Anyways, i did enjoy it (for all the wrong reasons) and it's full of just about every zombie cliché out there ripped from everything from the original Dead trilogy to 28 days/months later (The stalking zombie was a highlight <3 ). The reason it gets 5 stars is because as i said it's soooooo bad but so funny that it deserves 10 stars, but also so bad that it deserves nil. Much love to the director/writer we need more garbage like this. If for nothing else but to make us realise just how good Romero's original trilogy is. Clearly the reviewers that gave such steller reviews were cast/crew/friends etc. Still, it has to be said that it was a fun hour and half just picking out how bad everything was. As for the score..... Rarely do i notice a score in films, but this stood out like a sore thumb. A film for the true masochist :D
