Well edited but very slow.

It took me two viewings to come to a final conclusion on this one…and that would be that I’m pretty happy with Consecution 2: Zombie Boogaloo.

My favourite short was, surprise surprise…Dead Awake...

I also liked “Diary”, “Das Zombi”, and “Voodoo Island”

This short has a lot of awesome moments in it but most of those moments are great because of the context of the source, honestly. As a short, the narrative threads just aren't there. Who jumped out and bit the doctor? Who was the body who bit the other guy?
A/V Quality: 9 - Good, no issues.
Visual Editing: 7 - There was a noticeable jump cut shortly before the eyeball part and a frame jitter when the zombies come up to the doc's building.
Audio Editing: 9 - Really solid.
Narrative: 7 - Not enough comes through in the short, in my opinion.
Enjoyment: 7 - Cool, quick way to revisit original but not ideal as standalone.

The narrative is choppy and does not get to the point soon enough, but some iconic moments from the original are preserved here nonetheless. An interesting watch and a decent 'trailer' for the film for those who havent seen it
