Mar 18, 2015Zombies
Remake of George Romero's seminal zombie classic. The 3D is no more than a gimmick, while elsewhere they are some radical changes – a white Ben, a lame explanation for the zombies, some far-too-cute in-jokes – that fails to match the effectiveness of the original

Oct 16, 2019Characters Trapped in a Simulation of Night of the Living Dead
This comes with an interestingly different premise wherein characters are abducted and wake up inside a simulation of Night of the Living Dead and realise they are meant to replay the roles of the people in the farmhouse at siege from the zombie onslaught

Nov 29, 2016Horror Anthology
Not to be confused with the recent tv series Penny Dreadful, this is another in the recent spate of multi-director horror anthologies – The ABCs of Death, V/H/S films etc. Directed with a retro vibe, the episodes are expectedly uneven but better than might be expected from the hands involved

Dec 19, 2015Horror Western/Wilderness Cannibal Tribe
This is like a Western version of The Hills Have Eyes. Exceptionally written – slow, sombre and character-driven, containing one of Kurt Russell's best performances, before emerging into a brutal horror survival story

Oct 20, 2019Family of Psychos
Rob Zombie is back,, making the third in his trilogy of Firefly films following House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. It is all fairly much the same as before where Zombie's sympathies are cleanly with the family of psychopaths and their murderous rampage.
