Making You Shit Your Undies & Then Buy New Ones.
Isaac Marion’s zombie romance novel Warm Bodies has been gobbled up by Jonathan Levine, the man who brought us Sundance darling The Wackness and the horror-thriller All The Boys Love Mandy Lane. The plot of the novel/movie seems to hold some promise, the tale follows a young zombie known as “R” as he manages to [...]
Last week Blue Underground unleashed on the masses the Lucio Fulci classics Zombie (1979) and The House By The Cemetery (1981) on blu-ray. Being an avid horror fan I’m used to having my favorite movies released every couple years in new collectors sets and special editions. This is the first time either of these movies [...]
You know what we need? Another zombie, post-apocalyptic dare to be great film. I know you’re shaking your head saying that this has become the new film du jour, but I encourage you to give the six minute plus trailer a look. It’s got everything you love in a zombie/post-ac film. Surf rock. Zombies. Military [...]
As if the Baltimore Orioles, John Waters, Pentagram, and Chainsaw Sally weren’t ENOUGH reasons to love Charm City…
“Hey couch potatoes it’s me, Dr. Shock, your Midnight Mental Maniac, your Marauder of Mayhem, your Lieutenant of Lunacy, your Prince of Puns!” So began many a Saturday nights on WUPW Fox 36 in Toledo, Ohio when Dr. Shock’s X-ray Chiller Theatre hit the airwaves. From 1989 till 1992 Dr. Shock and his cast of [...]
Buffalo Rocks – HARDER! Buffalo Bleeds — MORE PROFUSELY! Buffalo SCREAMS!
“In the tradition of ‘The Walking Dead’ and John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing’ comes ‘Last Days!”… These are some lofty words from some indy filmmakers out there trying to put a new spin on a very over-saturated horror sub-genre. The twist thus far from the promotional material? No out and out zombie images. This in and of itself is [...]
October… Halloween country… The Dead! You’ve heard the buzz about this film to be certain and coming October 14th a select few of you will begin to know what Toto was singing about in the song “Africa” especially if you’re one of the walking dead (or one of those who listens to Toto in [...]
While some are swooning over Argento’s visual design, Bava’s atmospheric giallos, and Fulci’s colorful gore during Italian Week, I’ve decided to share some laughter over one of the epic failures of Italian horror. Whatever name you call it — Virus, Hell of the Living Dead, Night of the Zombies, Zombie Creeping Flesh, Zombies of the [...]
First off I’m old school, I like my zombies slow and decaying. The only zombie to ever shoot a gun should be Bub, and he barely pulled the feat off. It is with that in mind that I was extremely surprised that I enjoyed Fast Zombies With Guns as much as I did. Fast Zombies [...]
I was vaguely familiar with IWC Films before I turned on the current Tempe release of their two feature length movies, Die and Let Live and Raising the Stakes. Previously purchasing (and enjoying) the short-film compilations Faces of Schlock I and II, where IWC Films contributed two shorts, I had higher expectations for these films. I am happy to report that both movies on [...]
Director: Justin Timpane Writer: Justin Timpane Starring: Jay Saunders, Daniel Ross and Cory Okouchi Tagline: None Release Date: May 2011 on DVD Official Site: www.ninjasvsvampires.com Sometimes it takes a certain perspective to be able to review an indie film… a special sense of disbelief if you will. Such was my experience with one of the [...]
Ty Drago’s “The Undertakers: Rise of the Corpses” pits a ragtag band of teens against extradimensional invaders who walk around wearing dead bodies. Vampires, sexiest in the pantheon of monsters, have been ubiquitous in youth fiction over the past decade. But “The Undertakers: Rise of the Corpses,” the newest novel from Ty Drago, editor [...]
I’ve seen dozens of low-budget zombie films over the years, most of them forgettable. Melvin, from 531 Productions and being distributed by Chemical Burn, is definitely a bright spot amongst them! Melvin is a nerdy high school kid who is picked on by everyone- the cheerleaders, the punk rockers, and even his sister Wendy’s boyfriend. [...]
