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.

Yes, for a zombie movie set in a strip club that features waterworks and farting to music, Peelers is remarkably conservative at times.

How long do you think you can last during a zombie apocalypse?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fight Like a Girl suffered from money problems, technical problems, and personnel problems.

Well, they can't all be gold.

Make-Out with Violence is a moody, indie horror-romantic-coming-of-age-tale, and Maniac Cop 2 is, well he's an undead maniac and he kills cops!

Day two of our Easter Zombie Movie Marathon takes us to the year 2007, with two very middle-of-the-pack type of zombie films.

The cast is great, the concept is great, and the grit and grime of 80s New York is great.

The Final Chapter uses a darker palate with heavier shadows, more jump scares (seriously, a shit ton of jump scares), and a more frenetic editing style that usually undercuts the impact of the action scenes.

Well, that was traumatizing.

The storytelling is lean and economical, with the visuals giving you all the information you need to see what's going on psychologically with our main character.

It would literally take a concerted effort to fuck this up.

So Carol decides to walk the earth like Kane from Kung Fu, trying not to murder people, but failing miserably.

Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer is ugly and weird, does disgusting things, and is bloody, raunchy, and offensive.

Overall, Re-Kill is a solid action zombie film but it's fairly one-note when we're following the Re-Kill Cops (R-Division) in the field.
