Sock 'em Dead (2015) User Reviews

Solid zombie fun

[Horst_In_Translation · 6/10 · 27 June 2019]

"Sock 'em Dead" is a 6.5-minute live action short film from 2015 written and directed by Robert Rodriguez. And you also see him briefly as this is a little behind-the-scenes spoof from his television show From Dusk Till Dawn. All the action takes place on set. Actress Madison davenport plays herself and when she enters the mask/make-up room, she finds the two guys in charge there as well a guy who is apparently less in make-up than they initially thought he would be. Yep, there is a real monster / real zombie on the set and he keeps killing people one by one before Davenport herself comes up with a most unlikely weapen to fight him off. This was not too great honestly, shame that the moment the title is referring to is maybe the most ridiculous (in a bad way) of the entire film. Everything before and after that is okay, so I would say the good here is more frequent than the weak and it is all in all a good little movie by Tarantino friend Rodriguez. Also pay attention to the very brief cameo by Danny Trejo (also playing himself). That would be all then. I give this little movie a positive recommendation. Go watch it, especially if you like the show and/or people this is linked to. In my very case, I must also say that Davenport's stunning looks did not hurt one bit.

Sock 'em dead Madison!

This is a pretty simple way of doing business with sponsoring an advertisement while still pertaining to the content Robert Rodriguez is known for and setting it inside the show From Dusk 'Till Dawn. And above all having fun with your work and workers in a short film (which is what it should be all about)

Everyone does a good job for the amount of run time including, but of course not limited to, Madison Davenport, but the thing that makes me crack up towards the end is the thumbs-up given from Danny Trejo when in imminent danger.
