These dead aren’t living, walking, evil, or even ‘un.’ They’re just plain old Dead.

2010’s The Dead takes me back to old school zombie films and undead African cannibal exploitation films of the 1970s. The blow-by-blow of pretty much every moment an individual spends trying to survive in a world overrun by zombies may … Continue reading

Good God this is a better-than–average bad zombie movie!

The zombies come home for dinner—but all they want to eat is quarters…

Every time I dust off my Dreamcast, I find it such a shame that the system bit the very dust I’m wiping off. If only Sega had looked ahead and included DVD support, the Dreamcast could have been a great … Continue reading
