Resident Evil Six or Resident Evil Sux?

My kind of video game: zombies, cheerleaders, headless hunks, and 80s love
Forget the story, suspense, or scares of survival horror. Lollipop Chainsaw is a straight up hack n’ slash arcade style video game that is loads of zombie slaughtering fun. It’s just you, a chainsaw, a hot dumb cheerleader sucking on … 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
What comes from the 80s…and comes up from the sewers?
Do I have to spell it out? Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. C.H.U.D. 1984’s C.H.U.D. is one of those movies that all Gen-Xers will have fond memories of watching on cable. Upon a rewatch, it definitely made me nostalgic. It has … Continue reading
My Re-animator re-experience…
I saw the original 1985 Re-Animator when it first came on cable (which probably would have been a year later), and it never stuck with me as a favorite in my huge list of favorites, while many consider it a … 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
Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City: this zip code will never be the same…
Let’s face it. The Survival Horror genre hasn’t, well, survived the horror of game companies obsessed with satisfying action fans. Recent outings of Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Alone in the Dark have mostly disappointed long time fans of these … 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
