EZMM 2018 Day 4: Dead Snow (2008) & Dead Snow 2 (2014)

Paul Brian McCoy
March 29, 2018
Zombies 101
Dead Snow 2: Red vs Dead is a gorgeous movie that hits the ground running, taking place immediately following the final moments of the first film.

EZMM 2018 3.2: Pontypool (2008)

Paul Brian McCoy
March 28, 2018
Zombies 101
I can honestly say that there’s not a single film in ten years of Easter Zombie Movies that creates as much tension and tangible anxiety in me like Pontypool.

EZMM 2018 Day 3.1: La Horde (2009)

Paul Brian McCoy
March 28, 2018
Zombies 101
For just wall-to-wall action and hundreds of fast zombies, La Horde's hard to beat.

EZMM 2018 Day 2: Dead Set (2008)

Paul Brian McCoy
March 27, 2018
Zombies 101
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say Dead Set is one of the most inspired tributes to Dawn of the Dead ever put on film.

EZMM 2018 Day 1.2: Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, or The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (1974)

Paul Brian McCoy
March 26, 2018
Zombies 101
They wanted Night of the Living Dead in color, but what they got was a fable of ecological disaster, the collapse of authority, and gore that set a new standard in realism.

EZMM 2018 Day 1.1: They Came Back, or Les Revenants (2004)

Paul Brian McCoy
March 26, 2018
Zombies 101
The real horror of They Came Back is that despite the dead’s mysterious return, they never come back fully, and they are constantly preoccupied with leaving.

All the Devils are Here (2017)

Paul Brian McCoy
November 5, 2017
Movies, Reviews, Zombies 101
All the Devils are Here is an extremely entertaining throw-back to 80s low-budget horror!

Zombie Spring Breakers (2016)

Paul Brian McCoy
November 1, 2017
Movies, Reviews, Zombies 101
Zombie Spring Breakers is the least creative, most pointless zombie comedy I have ever seen.

Bong of the Living Dead (2017)

Nate Zoebl
October 23, 2017
Movies, Reviews, Zombies 101
Happily, Bong of the Living Dead is still an enjoyably fun comedy even if you regrettably don’t happen to know anyone involved.

I Am Alone (2015)

Paul Brian McCoy
October 18, 2017
Movies, Reviews, Zombies 101
While the rest of the film plays out along a more traditional narrative line, Fitts’ struggle is key to what makes I am Alone stand out.

It Stains the Sands Red (2017)

Paul Brian McCoy
September 27, 2017
Movies, Reviews, Zombies 101
This is a film that lives or dies on the performance of the lead, and Allen brings hidden depths to the role and owns every scene.

Peelers (2016)

Paul Brian McCoy
June 30, 2017
Movies, Reviews, Zombies 101
Yes, for a zombie movie set in a strip club that features waterworks and farting to music, Peelers is remarkably conservative at times.

7 Popular Zombie Survival Tactics That Will Get You Killed

Mike Johnson
May 4, 2017
Zombies 101
How long do you think you can last during a zombie apocalypse?

Night of the Living Dead 30th Anniversary Edition

Dan Lee
April 28, 2017
Movies, Reviews, Zombies 101
I bought a VHS copy of this movie in 2003 for five bucks at a local thrift shop because it sounded amazing at the time.

EZMM 2017 Day 9: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016)

Paul Brian McCoy
April 18, 2017
Movies, Reviews, Zombies 101
Ultimately, I didn't really feel that Pride and Prejudice and Zombies really brought all that much to the table beyond the novelty of its source material.

EZMM 2017 Day 8: The Girl with All the Gifts (2017)

Paul Brian McCoy
April 17, 2017
Movies, Reviews, Zombies 101
The Girl with All the Gifts is one of the most original takes on the zombie apocalypse genre I've seen in years and a joy from start to finish.

EZMM 2017 Day 7: Train to Busan (2016) & Seoul Station (2016)

Paul Brian McCoy
April 16, 2017
Movies, Reviews, Zombies 101
South Korean writer/director Yeon Sang-Ho has crafted two of the strongest zombie films in recent memory, and he did them back-to-back.

EZMM 2017 Day 6: What We Become (2015) & Freaks of Nature (2015)

Paul Brian McCoy
April 15, 2017
Movies, Reviews, Zombies 101
We chose to stick to the year 2015, which gave us an odd mix of super-serious and the super-goofy with What We Become and Freaks of Nature.

EZMM 2017 Day 5: From Parts Unknown: Fight Like a Girl (2015)

Paul Brian McCoy
April 14, 2017
Movies, Reviews, Zombies 101
Fight Like a Girl suffered from money problems, technical problems, and personnel problems.

EZMM 2017 Day 4: Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence (1993) & Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated (2009)

Paul Brian McCoy
April 13, 2017
Movies, Reviews, Zombies 101
Well, they can't all be gold.
