‘Crazy has definitely come to town for a visit’

Undead is a zombie horror, comedy and sci-fi Australian movie which was made in 2003 by Michael and Peter Spierig.  Undead happens when a quiet town gets hit with meteorites and brings an infection to the town. Rene who decides to leave the town finds it difficult to leave the town due to there being zombie’s who are eating human flesh.

During the production there were many difficulties that the two brothers had to go through. Many of them were the money they didn’t have and many other reasons that they couldn’t help.

In pre-production they were discussing what will happen in the movie Undead. They had to go location scouting for a place where they could film that wouldn’t cost a lot of money to use.  Their budget may have only been $100,000. Finding places that wouldn’t cost them a lot of money would have been hard. But they ended up finding a big warehouse that they shot majority of the film in. The one house was used and they had to get the making of the house together. Things that they used to customize that house were usually found on the street or stuff they may have had at time.

Trying to get everything ready for the shooting put a lot pressure on all the people in the production.

During production in Undead, the first day of the shooting of Undead the budget was blown on things they needed for the film. During the film, they had to get things that they owned or found. The budget being lost is one of the main challenging issues that were in the making of Undead. During the film shoot, they were faced with having to deal with horrible cold weather. Not having money, they couldn’t do things to help the process while people were sick. Also they couldn’t get another place for shooting that would be comfortable for people while shooting.

Post production was when they finished shooting the scenes they needed to edit the scenes. In post production they had some issues that they had to deal with. When they needed to edit the film for them to now show audiences the film, they didn’t have enough staff to edit the film. They had a certain amount of time for post production. They had a few days left, and they also had a car scene that needed to be finished. It was towards the end where they rushed through editing things.

Even though they had a lot of issues during the making of Undead, it was a low budget film they went through a lot but came out with a great result.

Majority of their film involved the low budget that they didn’t have on the first few days. A lot of things that were issues were because the money was needed.

But they did finish with an amazing film and they continued to make films.
