Mimesis: when Scream meets Night of the Living Dead
If you are a fan of Scream and Night of the Living Dead, it’s hard for me to imagine that you wouldn’t enjoy the hell out of Mimesis: Night of the Living Dead. Mimesis is a great word to use … Continue reading
Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things
There’s really no better way to title a blog post about the 1973 movie Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things. Probably one of the best horror movie titles ever. And it’s by Bob Clark, who went on to direct Black … Continue reading
Nothing like adding another derivative zombie film to the collection
While Resident Evil and 28 Days Later are the first films that will most likely come to mind when you first watch Devil’s Playground, you’ll be happy to know that all the zombie/infected traditions are firmly in place. The film … Continue reading
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

Check your boobs at the door (where they’ll definitely get eaten)
Strippers! Prostitutes! Burlesque dancers! Zombies! If you go into any of the 3 movies I’m about to discuss with ANY expectation other than boobs and blood, than a) you’ll be sorely disappointed, and b) you have no taste in movies. … Continue reading
Check your brain at the door (where it will probably get eaten)
Way back in 1985, just after George Romero’s official third installment in the “of the dead” series hit theaters, the campy horror Return of the Living Dead, an unofficial continuation, was released, and did something Day of the Dead didn’t. … Continue reading

What a large body count this zombie film has got…hot bodies, that is

Ever wish a Big Brother housemate would get eaten by a zombie?
From what I understand, the show Big Brother was an even bigger reality show in the U.K. than it was in the U.S. The 2008 U.K. “mini-series” Dead Set (really just a 3 hour movie broken into segments) imagines what … Continue reading
