The Undead Symphony

Send us Fan Mail A twofer from 2011 this time around with The Zombies are Coming to Town and Schoolgirl Apocalypse.  Zombies are Coming to Town, which needed to be Zombie Hordes are Coming to Town so it can be sung to the tune of Santa Claus is Coming to Town, is a pretty dreadful movie in a movie, where they are making a low budget zombie movie with some of the worst acting you have even seen and...

Send us Fan Mail It gets worst. Sure, we see them call the zombies sleepwalkers, or toe tags, or chompers. There was only one memorable episode in keeping with The Walking Dead universe and that the Dee/Alpha. The rest of this anthology series has been god awful. To finish off the terrible end of the seasons here we go... Episode 4 Amy/Dr Everett - Anthony Edwards plays a scientist studying the wa...

Send us Fan Mail I did love the Walking Dead at the start. The first 3 to 4 seasons I binged. I have the DVD boxed sets. I lent them out. I converted people into TWDers. But then I lost interest when Negan showed up and ruined everything. I then turned to Fear the Walking Dead. Loved Nick. Hated Madison. Watched that for 3 seasons then. I lost interest. The World Beyond I gave a go when no one els...

Send us Fan Mail Spain mostly gets it right. The REC series, four pretty good movies in isolation, even better when binged. Valley of the Dead. Nightmare City. And probably the best of them all Apocalypse Z the beginning. And then there is this. The Winter Hunger on TUBI from 2021. Absolute horse shit. Five of the most inept and unlikable characters you could ever meet (meek and mild teacher Mario...

Send us Fan Mail A surprising find on TUBI. Now, before I start, let me repeat myself yet again by giving you m definition of a zombie. A zombie is someone who is no longer in control. They could, like in the movies of the 1930s to 1950s, be controlled by a voodoo priest. They are under a spell. And no longer in control. In the 60s and 70s radiation was the enemy and so it was radiation sickness w...

Send us Fan Mail Not to be confused with Zombie For Sale, this is a comedy for the most part. It stars Merry from Lord of the Rings and the Beast from the 1980s Beauty and the Beast. Not really a zombie movie. There are 4 1/2 zombies in it, a vampire, and an alien. And it tells the story of Willy and Arthur, two Victorian era grave robbers who are about to be executed. After Willy gets the chop, D...

Send us Fan Mail It is described on the DVD box as one of the greatest zombie movies of all time. This is a huge exaggeration. There are 2 zombies. 2 and a half really come the end. It tells the story of 3 survivors, Ana, perky and inconsistent, dull engineer Jonathan and creepy weirdo Axel. Axel is tattooing dead flies on his entire body, with the idea that he will leave once covered. That level...

Send us Fan Mail Mirror Life Modern zombies With the tag line FIND CURE ESCAPE LAB TELL EVERYONE… Doesn’t always work out that way I got it on DVD from the US rather than waiting. I thought Id throw some cash to the guys, Not much has been written about it. So I hope to change that. From HorrorDNA: Jordan opts to enroll in a medical study for a promising new drug called Dumitor, reputed to cure vi...

Send us Fan Mail Finally the planets aligned and Michael and I managed to catch up, talk what we have seen, what we plan to see, but mostly we talk Newtopia, man.

Send us Fan Mail OK so to recap – DEAD SEASON 2012, we had Elvis and TWEETER meeting up during the zombie apocalypse and arriving on the small Caribbean island of DE SANTOS or something along those lines, getting a boat from florida. Now the write ups said there was a murderous cult, WRONG! And the pair had to fight for their lives daily. WRONG! It was 16 people, 13 guys led by Call of Duty silver...

Send us Fan Mail And so… onto this, a zombie movie, another new offering from Amazon, Dead Season… well when I say new it is 2012, but I haven’t see it on offer before. And it has a sequel Decade of the Dead which has a very similar plot and Tweeter. appears in both 4.6/10 on IMDB which isn’t awful. On Amazon the description is… during a zombie outbreak, two strangers find themselves stranded on a...

Send us Fan Mail The latest in a line of hit or miss Netflix zombie movie and shows that included #Alive, Kingdom, Valley of the Dead, Black Summer, Army of the Dead, Outside, Betaal, Zombieverse, All of Us are Dead, Cargo and Zom100: Bucket list of the Dead, comes this Indonesian effort. Now, you may think that Indonesia would become country #40 for us, but no, we have seen an Indonesian zombie m...

Send us Fan Mail The better half of the series if you ask me and we are back with Young-Joo and a chainsaw working her way through subterranean Seoul, as Jae-Yoon and his squad mates descend the tower. I actually really liked how she was out and about and then trying to get across the city, juxtaposed with him just trying to get out of his building from the roof to the street.  There are some grea...

Send us Fan Mail In the first of many (hopefully) we are joined by Michael's oldest son, Harris, fresh off of watching Scouts Guide and World War Z. We talk the movies he has seen and those he will now be subjected to as part of his indoctrination into the sub-genre. Pray for Harris.

Send us Fan Mail We do love Korean zombies. Train to Busan should be in everyone's top 10, All of Us Are Dead is probably per minute the most intense zombie TV show ever made. Then we get Peninsula, Kingdom, Zombieverse and Happiness and this, Newtopia. 2025, on Amazon, telling the story of a young couple Young-Joo and Jae-Yoon, an office girl and a soldier as the zombie apocalypse takes hold...

Send us Fan Mail Simple premise. A cursed TV that shows only one movie, the very 1970s style Romero-eque Zombie Blood Nightmare is in fact a portal. A very 1980s plot device. the zombies from the movie come out of it and rampage a rural community, including TEMU Eric Stoltz Rocky Duvall as Jeff, his sister Zoe and their neighbour April.  The acting is awful, there are some cliche elements such as...

Send us Fan Mail Despite Richard Roxburgh, Lily Sullivan and Callan Mulvany, the beautiful New Zealand landscape and, at times, very Lord of the Rings, music, this was annoying… slow, obvious and ultimately unoriginal and disappointing…  I have seen all the elements of this movie before in one form or another. An antipodean western, I guessed how people died, we have no real explanation why Mulvan...

Send us Fan Mail Contracted has always been on the Z list, but I have been avoiding it as body horror isn’t really my thing. But given we are ploughing through 2025 at a rate of knots I thought I would watch both contracted and the sequel. Looking on amazon I could only find the sequel and part one was no longer on TUBI so, SOL I decided to watch the sequel first, with the idea of getting to the o...

Send us Fan Mail In a post-apocalyptic wasteland a group of scientists are rescued by a military ops team so they can fight zombies for control of the planet. Sounds shit. I'm in. 1.9/10 on IMDB now that is something, this could be a challenger to bottom of the barrel. From an IMDB review - Everything is poor in this movie: story, screenplay, dialogs, direction, performances, lighting, specia...

Send us Fan Mail Please don’t feed the children 2024 starring Michelle Dockery of Downton and The Gentlemen Fame and Giancarlo Esposito from Breaking Bad and directed by Directed by Destry Allyn Spielberg… hm… joining the NEPO BABY horror gang with Brandon Cronenberg and Ishana Night Shyamalan Seriously don’t feed the children 1)      don't expose them to bright lights, 2) don't get them...

Send us Fan Mail An hour with Michael in which we catch up about: Neighbours vs Zombies 5/10 Zombiecon Vol 1 5.5/10 The Crazies (1973) 4/10 The Crazies (2010) 6/10 A wide ranging chat about our zombie viewing of the last week or two.

Send us Fan Mail EPISODE 271… still waiting for Michael. And I have been waiting a long time for him. But, much like London buses, am sure after waiting for ages 3 Michaels will then come along. In this episode, I want to start by talking about the Neighbours Halloween special, Neighbours versus Zombies, 5 episodes of 6 minutes or so, equating to a normal half an hour episode of the popular Austra...

After an experiment gone wrong, a scientist steals the last specimen and hides out in a residential building hoping to reverse the damage. One fateful night the alien lifeform is set loose and turns the residence into the walking dead. He must find a way...

Send us Fan Mail A 4 part, 2 and a bit hour What If? where lesser Marvel characters run about trying to defeat the Red Witch and her zombie hordes. If you liked What If? it is ok. If you hated everything since End Game then you will hate this. It is Ironheart, and Ms Marvel and the girl from Hawkeye, plus a few comedy characters, a confusing Moon Knight/Blade combination, Valkyrie, although she lo...

Send us Fan Mail A lovely evening chatting with Paul from the Black Country about all things zombie, from Michael Jackson's thriller to being not so thrilled with Brad Pitt's World War Z, crying over his Virus versus Voodoo score and Michael going to a parents-teacher evening for one of his brood.
