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.
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.
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.
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.
It's incredibly refreshing to see some animatronic zombie beavers alongside some half-naked (and sometimes naked) young ladies covered in liberal amounts of blood and gore.
