Review​

Bring Him Back Dead is a crime thriller about a gang of hardened criminals seeking vengeance on the man who betrayed them. Directed by Mark Savage (Painkiller & Purgatory Road) who has delivered a gut punch, with violence and malintent. Who can you really trust in the crime scene? They say blood is thicker than water, but diamonds are thicker and stronger than anything. When a simple Jewellery heist goes wrong – a shootout between security and the gang leaving multiple people dead, we can see where split hairs begin to fray further.

The clock is ticking. A member of the gang is injured. He isn’t in good shape. A bullet wound threatens to end his participation in the story. Geoff (Lejon Woods) is in danger of bleeding out, none of them are medically trained, and accessing medical attention is strictly forbidden. The buyers of the diamonds will arrive shortly, and they can’t risk the cops getting wind of the cabin or the dealings contained within.
​
This causes a lot of friction. Killian (Ryan Shaw), Zarina (Zhuzha Akova), Hayden (Chris Torem), Alex (Gary Daniels), Trent (Louis Mandylor), and Lisa (Katie Keene) object at weapons and car keys being removed from them.

I like a movie to leave me off my guard. I don’t want to know what happens; I don’t even want an inkling. Movies that have me shitting my pants in surprise, you know? Bring Him Back Dead was a little bit predictable. I suppose it’s going to be seeing as it follows an overpopulated plot line. Reservoir Dogs spring to mind. They both examine the greed and desperation of the main characters. 

People under pressure do idiotic things. The desolated cabin in the woods is the backdrop for the internal fighting, no one can hear you scream whilst you bleed out and it’s easy to escape with the goods when it all goes tits up. 

A movie that does what it says on the tin. High adrenaline, high octane thrill ride. You can’t trust anyone when black shadows are creeping at every junction. A brilliant examination of the human condition and it’s hunger for money and violence.
