Episode 347: Severed: Forest of the Dead

Send us Fan MailA Canadian effort to save me from Daniel Baldwin on TUBI. An eco-warrior group are demonstrating the logging of an island, but the company doing the logging, or raping the land as the hippies say, are doing far, far worse. They are pumping the trees with a chemical that makes them grow three times as fast.The trees, understandably, as not happy about this and are not going to take it lying down, unless they have already been chopped down, of course, and start spitting out this red ooze. A logger gets the red ooze in his blood stream and we have a survival story where loggers, scientists and tree hugging hippies are having to work together to make it out of there.TBF the acting was fine, the gore and zombie make-up was fine but the pacing was all off, the edit was messy and padded with scenes and shots that didn't work. We had way too many cuts away too soon, to show a fucking misty lake, or the tree tops, random POV night scope zombie footage once, and some awful repurposed footage.It was a 4/10 for me with the idea of an eco-disaster causing it, and it being the trees. The trees! It is in the trees!
