The 9 Most Brainless Zombie Movies of All Time

October 12th, 2012 By Gavin Bard

The best zombie movies use the shambling reanimated corpses as allegories. George Romero, the father of the dead, used zombies to represent everything from racism to consumerism as well as demonstrating that the most dangerous thing to humanity is ourselves. Pretty powerful considering the antagonists are as silent as they are numerous.

The worst zombie movies, on the other hand, use zombies to represent capitalizing on a trend and making as much money as possible before writing off their losses when the tax man comes. The movies that go this route end up being as mindless and slow as their subject matter.

It is safe to say that there are far, far, far more examples of the latter than there are the former. This could have been the top ? just based on the SyFy channel alone.

Creased or Folded? hecklerspray Tells You The Way It Is.

Accept or Deny?

Folded

Space, the Final Fron– oh, you’ve probably seen the timelapse video from the International Space Station already but just in case you haven’t, here it is again.
Ferenc Puskas – You’ve probably not heard of him unless you’re into football (if you’re not, jump to the next item) but if you’re a fan of the great man then you might appreciate this article from The Guardian which proves he was a bloody nice chap too.
Zombies – If you believe they’re a possibility then you’re an idiot but, in fairness, there is a shop that will cater to your warped delusions.

Leicester Seemingly Unbothered By Frequency of Zombie Attacks

June 21st, 2011 By Matthew Laidlow

Due to the rapidly expanding world we live in, there are occasions when we have to get our heads round so called ?exciting? terms that are cooked up by balding PR men in their fifties. we're all enduring the stranglehold of social media which is basically a tool for people to show off an impressive number of virtual friends who they rarely ever speak to in the real world.

Now we're plagued by flash mobs. These are surprise events that are created by hilarious individuals who think it's amusing to perform stupid activities whilst you go around your day to day business.

Doing star jumps on a busy train during the home commute? LOL! That won't irritate anyone to the point of violence! As you\’ll probably agree, dances and other strange acts are rapidly approaching a saturation point of dire inanity. How about spicing things up by causing an organised panic? On paper it seems like a good idea, but in true British tradition, it turns into a shambles.

TV Review: The Walking Dead

August 5th, 2012 By Si Sharp

Zombies, zombies, fucking zombies. We really should be sick of the sight of them. The most annoying thing about them is that regardless of how many zombie films come along people keep on making more on them.

On the flipside every so often someone comes up with a decent take on them, and most of the awful films don't make it as far as the cinema. They have a much better hit rate than vampires and with good reason.

Zombies may have no emotions or feelings but that's a hell of a lot more appealing than being angst-ridden self-obsessed immortal teenagers.

Top 15 Bad-Ass Deaths In Zombie Movies

September 20th, 2012 By David Schwartz

Death and zombies, death and zombies – go together like a horse and carriage. Or so Frank Sinatra did not sing, ever.

But he should have done, because they are a great combination.

Like fish and chips or Madonna and the chronic desire to plunge nails into your eyes.

Of course, that’s because zombies are actually dead, but still somehow manage to die again and deal out death.

(Before you start, we know they are actually ‘undead’).

Top 22 WTF Zombie Moments

September 15th, 2010 By David Schwartz

Zombies – got to love them. Seeing their slow, shiftless bodies somehow catch up with and eat the brains of their unwitting, fully agile victims never ceases to amaze.

Their grotesque faces, their cold, emotionless eyes and laboured movements ? it's just like watching X Factor, only remarkably not as popular.

We cannot get enough of them. Maybe we secretly want to be one.

Dead Snow – DVD Review

August 5th, 2012 By David Scarborough

An idyllic wood cabin, surrounded by snow in the Norwegian mountains ? sounds like the perfect postcard.

Nazi zombies are, for some inexplicable reasons, a relatively untapped area in the horror genre – but that’s all about to change.

Dead Snow is premiering at UK Frightfest on August 30th and hitting DVD and Blu-ray on August 31st, and it is one hell of a ride!

Picture the crisp Norwegian snow-capped mountains surrounded by beautiful forests and a cosy log cabin in the middle of it all. It’s a Christmas card image that would take centre place in any Granny’s mantelpiece. Now add to that a splash of red, a dollop of intestine and a scalped bonce to boot and you’ll have the gloriously bloody, hilarious and action-packed Dead Snow.
