The Corpse Eaters as a title has a double meaning: eating corpses and corpses that eat. Clever, Canada. The film begins with a flash forward to a funeral home, where the greedy love child of an alternate universe George Romero and Angus Scrimm accepts a late night body to be prepped for burial. He drives … Continue reading The Corpse Eaters (1974)
In the post-apocalyptic future, zombies roam the Earth, Japanese women are either scantily clad bad asses or barely able to function with seemingly no in-between state, and there is still plenty of blond hair dye to keep your style sense fresh. All because a corporate scientist really wanted to play God. Thanks, science! Aya is … Continue reading OneChanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers (2008)
As in this girl has special powers due to how she came to be, not that she's giving out presents or anything. Though admittedly, it would be kinda nice to get a present right now. I mean, who doesn't love free stuff? In the very near future, the world sucks. Athlete's Foot has basically evolved … Continue reading The Girl with All the Gifts (2016)
As a general rule, I'm not into found footage films. It's not that The Blair Witch Project hurt me as a child, or that Cannibal Holocaust murdered my cat or anything; when done well, it can prove to be a fascinating means of presenting a story in a unique way. Unfortunately, in both of those … Continue reading Frankenstein’s Army (2013)
Zombie horror movies. I couldn't tell you how many of them I've seen over the years by now. There just doesn't seem like much new that these kinds of films can give us, and then, BAM! Out of nowhere, you suddenly find one that makes the subgenre interesting, if not necessarily relevant. It's weird how … Continue reading Train to Busan (2016)
Take a joke about zombie beavers. Now imagine it as a feature length production. Yeah, that's pretty much what you get here. Gotta give it some points for being honest and straightforward. Basically, Bill Burr and John Mayer are terrible truckers who hit a deer and drop toxic waste into a lake full of beavers. … Continue reading Zombeavers (2014)
I have a personal rule: don't fuck with voodoo. This movie is a perfect example of why. Sugar Hill's boyfriend owns a successful club, but the local Houston mob want it, so they murder him. Since Sugar desires revenge, she reaches out to Mama Maitresse, a voodoo priestess who manages to summon up Baron Samedi. … Continue reading Sugar Hill (1974)
Ok, so Treat Williams and Joe Piscopo are cops, right? As in buddy cops, right? As in partners. And they have to solve a string of jewelry heists where the robbers take way too many bullets to drop, right? Ok, yeah, and then during an investigation at a pharmaceuticals company, Treat Williams gets killed, ok? … Continue reading Dead Heat (1988)
Ah, comedy horror. This movie is terrible, but it's ridiculously, hilariously terrible. I love C.H.U.D. 2. I know I have bad taste. I don't care. C.H.U.D. 2 is hilariously awful and awfully hilarious. It's incredibly stupid, it knows it, and it runs with it. Laugh at the CHUDs behavior. Thrill to its theme song, which … Continue reading C.H.U.D. II: Bud the C.H.U.D. (1989)
Well, here we are, at the end of the Blind Dead series. Night of the Seagulls is the fourth and final movie in Amando de Ossorio's tetralogy about blind undead Knights Templar, and once again it reinvents the formula. No longer are the Templars mere Satan worshippers; now they're visitors from France 600 years ago, … Continue reading Night of the Seagulls (1975)
