Wyrmwood: Apocalypse is definitely a more mature film from definitely more experienced filmmakers.

All of Us Are Dead proves that even though some audiences might be tired of zombies, with enough creative talent there are always opportunities to tell compelling and entertaining stories.

The House by the Cemetery fails on just about every level as a continuation of the Gates of Hell series.

There’s a sense of inevitability to the surreal stream of grotesque, violent imagery in The Beyond.

Last Night in Soho is a beautifully shot and inventively edited story of love, fashion, ghosts, mental illness, and Sixties nostalgia.

Antlers is a film that truly delivers on every level except maybe the balance between psychological and supernatural horror.

October 27, 2021 0 20

Visually and narratively, Brand New Cherry Flavor is a cornucopia of color, textures, gore, sexuality, and satire.

Blood Quantum satisfies all my zombie film cravings and is one of the strongest genre entries in years.

EZMM 2021 Day 8.2: [Rec] 4: Apocalypse (2014)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 5, 2021 0 8

Anyway, [Rec] 4: Apocalypse is a perfectly fine zombie movie set on a boat.

Paul Brian McCoy

April 5, 2021 0 8

Granted, [Rec] 3: Genesis doesn’t really break new ground, but it is solid at what it does.

EZMM 2021 Day 7.2: [Rec]2 (2009)

Paul Brian McCoy

[Rec] 2 opens with the final shot of the previous film before shifting our focus to a new set of cameras.

EZMM 2021 Day 7.1: [Rec] (2007)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 4, 2021 0 10

[Rec] is a film that puts people in peril and then steps on the gas, refusing to let up until the shocking final moments.

EZMM 2021 Day 6: Dead Shack (2017)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 3, 2021 0 2

Dead Shack is not heavy on scares and the zombies are practically an afterthought, but if you like juvenile humor there’s a dark streak to this film that delivers in the end.

If there was ever a film that deserved to be seen on as big a screen as possible, it’s Godzilla vs. Kong.

EZMM 2021 Day 5: Night of the Seagulls (1975)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 2, 2021 0 21

While the ending of Night of the Seagulls isn’t a bombastic action-packed finale, I wasn’t as dissatisfied as many other reviewers.

EZMM 2021 Day 4: The Ghost Galleon (1974)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 1, 2021 0 10

The Ghost Galleon is essentially another reboot/reimagining of the basic concept of undead, blood-drinking, flesh eating Templar knights with little to no relation to the previous two films.
