I hate The Evil Dead: Explained, because you asked for it.

As a life-long zombie fan from the great state of Michigan, I am met with varying degrees of surprise when new friends learn that I loathe The Evil Dead movies—and indeed, all of Sam Raimi's horror. "Even Army of Darkness?!?" they say in feigned hipster shock. Yes, 'fraid so. People have been asking me to explain (read: justify) this for at least 20 years now. I wanted to explain it, but I honestly didn't know—until now. This might end up being more about me than the film itself, but hey, you asked. See, I don't just "dislike" Evil Dead. I loathe it. I've … [Read more...]

The Dead Gives a Fresh Feel to the Living Dead!

The Dead, a new Blue-Ray and DVD release from Anchor Bay Films, hit the shelves o across the country this week with a vengance! It has been hailed as the greatest Zombie Film of the year. It goes where few (if any) Zombie movies have gone before: Africa. The movie follows the story of an American mechanic who was part of an evacuation that went wrong, and an African military man who is simply trying to find his son. Like most Zombie flicks, the duo struggle to find survivors, food, water, and ammo. Unlike most Zombie flicks, almost all of the Zeds are black, and … [Read more...]

The Road To Hell is Through Zombie Valley

January 25, 2012 by at 11:26 am Share Your Undead Thoughts
ZombieValleyThumb

Creating your own decent micro-budget Zombie Film takes much more that just a camera and some make-up, and sometimes less. A lot of work goes into making any film but even more when that film is horror... and if you are thinking Zombies... it may be easier to go construct your own full-sided pyramid from scratch without any modern tools. What makes it so challenging? Well, first you need a story. Then you need to make that story into a script. Then you need volunteers... er, actors and crew, so that you don't cut into your already non-existent budget. You'll … [Read more...]

Cowboys & Zombies: Wednesday Lee Friday Reviews

When Left Films Ltd sent me a review copy of Cowboys & Zombies, I was pretty stoked. Cowboys? Zombies? What's not to like? Even if it's not high cinema, it'll still be good for a watch, right? I wasn't able to see it for a while as I had to reformat it from a UK print. My anticipation built. By the time I got my mitts on it, I was practically foaming at the mouth. Sadly, it was all for naught. To say that this movie literally killed me with its badness would be a misnomer. It only figuratively killed me with badness. Mild spoilers lurk here—but … [Read more...]

Opstandelsen: Something Awesome from the State of Denmark

Opstandelsen Small

Breaking News!! Opstandelsen is now available for purchase on region-free DVD. Woot!!! Coming soon, a ZZN/WLF interview with director Casper Haugegaard. I can't wait! The release of a new low-budget horror (and especially zombie) movie often fills me with trepidation.  Will it be yet another schlocky chompfest that only serves to cement the idea that zombie movies should not be taken seriously?  Will corpses 20 years dead suddenly develop the reflexes and speed of an Olympian?  It’s more difficult than ever for a movie in this subgenre to have any impact … [Read more...]

Dear Diary (of the Dead),

Every zombie fan under the age of 60 is indebted to George Romero. It cannot be denied that he gave us the zombie genre as we know it today.  I will always be grateful.  So it is with heavy heart that I share the shock—nay, grief I felt when I finally sat down to watch 2007’s Diary of the Dead about a year ago. “Problem doesn’t seem to be that people are waking up dead…but that dead people are waking up.”  Yes, that is actual dialogue from a George Romero movie. Odd.  One would think that the creator of the modern zombie would never write something … [Read more...]

There are a lot of Zombie movies out there. Many are great, some stink, and some are just plain odd. Odd as in "Every one knows I love Zombie movies, but how the hell do I explain this one..." Well, I decided to list my 5 favorite "odd Zombie movies" and tell you why. 5. Astro-Zombies After being recruited by the government after a variety of unsolved gruesome killing, some scientists try to solve who or what is doing the killing. They latch on to the track of the strange evil doctor, who experiments, in a very Dr. Frankenstein like way, on dead people brought to … [Read more...]
