The Undead Symphony

Send us Fan Mail And onto resident evil extinction, part 3 of the franchise that we are working our way through. We will watch the movies, then Welcome to Racoon City the reboot and the Netflix show. But before that, this is the 3rd movie on the bounce and it admittedly my favourite, and think that is because it is no longer hamstrung by being tied to the games, and therefore has to play to the au...

Send us Fan Mail 2004 and a bit of a mess Resident Evil Apocalypse seems to be the last of the Paul W Anderson Res Evil movies that pays back what it is to the computer games. With movie character Alice joined by Jill Valentine, Oded Fehr's Carlos and The Nemesis we get some cheesy one liners, and the plot of Escape from NY embedded in the events happening right after the first movie left off...

Send us Fan Mail A man takes extreme steps to protect Maggie, his daughter, who is slowly turning into a cannibal after a zombie attack. He spends time with her, reminiscing about her childhood, dreading the future. It stars Arnold scharzenegger, joely Richardson and Abigail Breslin in the title role as Maggie. Although I have time for all three – esp Breslin in the Zombielands, final girl and lit...

Send us Fan Mail Rememeber Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter?  Ben Walker, Anthony Mackie, May Elizabeth Winstead, Dominic Cooper, Rufus Sewell, Jimmi SImpsom…. 2012 5.9 on IMDB 34% on RT? Well, this isn't that. Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombie also 2012 but that is the only thing in common, starring…. Well nobody. Horror movie stalwart Bill Oberst from circus of the dead, werewolf risin, painkiller, s...

Send us Fan Mail Not a lot is written about this 2004 movie for a reason. The cast and crew appear nowhere online in headshot form for a reason. Conceptually it is an ok premise. The hadron collider has an unexpected dump of radiation. A team led by the chief scientist is heading down into it and 4 twenty something junior scientists volunteer to monitor it for the weekend. The radiation causes the...

Send us Fan Mail During Thailand's WWII involvement, a Japan-engineered chemical weapon creates a voracious superhuman horde of Thai soldiers leaving a blood-soaked path of ultra-violence and destruction. Yet the greatest victims are the abject undead themselves. Friendships, dreams, and lives devoured... nothing remains. The trailer looked good for this one so I grabbed on blu ray as there w...

Send us Fan Mail You remember those meals where you didn't really have everything you needed? Maybe it was a few days before payday and you need to make something with what you have? So you have kosher chicken hot dog wieners, Marinara sauce and 2 minute noodles for dinner? Well this movie from 2015 is that meal. In a town where Dennis Leary's factory dominates the skyline, and he sponso...

Send us Fan Mail 1983/4 and a Troma effort back when a Troma effort looked on par with the likes of Zombie Flesh Eaters, Zombie Creeping Flesh and Zombie 4: After Death. In this movie a group of American tourists unwittingly fall foul of unseen forces on a small island after witnessing a voodoo ritual. Some gore, a couple of jumps, but a lot of nonsense otherwise.  Is this a zombie movie? Until th...

Send us Fan Mail In this festive time Michael and I talk gifts, and the gift that is the 28 Years Later trailer that dropped this week and made the online horror community wet themselves. In short, we are both excited, but not convinced. After all, it is no Pro Wrestlers vs Zombies. How dare you!

Send us Fan Mail We bring season 7 to a close with this effort from Channel 4 in the UK, a channel with a pedigree that includes Spaced, Drop the Dead Donkey, Trigger Happy TV, Black Books, Big Brother and more. It brought us Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright, and Dead Set by Black Mirror's Charlier Brooker. Although I would insist you watch the Brazilian remake Reality Z instead. This...

Send us Fan Mail The 2003 Australian Undead is one of the many movies marketed at the SHAUN OF THE DEAD FROM (insert country). We have seen many of them, Go Goa Gone from India, Juan of the Dead from Cuba, New Zealand's I Survived a Zombie Holocaust starring friend of the pod Harley Neville and, of course, the awful American Dead and Breakfast. You know I hate that one, despite it having Oz P...

Send us Fan Mail It just a 3 hour episode of the Walking Dead with Negan and Maggie heading off without the others, and into Manhattan. What else is there?  I mean, acting is good, writing was good, a few decent twists, too many of TWD equivalents of the red shirts in Star Trek, nameless victims. I don't believe the writers of any of the Walking Dead shows can write for children. They are eit...

Send us Fan Mail I waxed rhapsodic about this movie in the last episode and, after interrupting Michael's DVD stack, got him to watch this so we could talk about it today. 7/10 all day long. Can't wait for the other parts. Come on, don't disappoint me now, Amazon.

Send us Fan Mail Spanish, based on a trilogy of books and new on Amazon, I was excited for this one. The trailer looked great, and boy, did it not disappoint. In what I think of as a top 20 worthy zombie movie, certainly the best new zombie entertainment I have seen since Last of Us, and before that, All of Us Are Dead. This had it all, a decent led character who wasn't invincible and overly...

Send us Fan Mail My issue with this movie was not the plot. It was basic, but it was fair. Zombie outbreak, I am guessing the zombie outbreak from the original 2006 movie that cost £8100 to make and made £2M at the box office, and soldiers holed up at a camp. The country is going to be fire bombed scorched earth style, and they are told on the radio to get to a camp on the coast before heading to...

Send us Fan Mail Netflix 2024, this Filipino effort joins Block Z and Day Zero as modern zombie movies from the Philippines.

The issue, and the zombies are well done Korean style b...

Send us Fan Mail Celebrating the 20th anniversary, Michael and I are joined by Brian from Zombpocalypse for a wide-ranging and rambling talk about all things Simon Pegg, UK-US translations, finding and then annoying a friend named Pete, Spaced, Channel 4 vs BBC comedies, and the legacy of the 2004 game changer that was Shaun of the Dead. Have you run it under a cold tap yet? We hope so. So come jo...

Send us Fan Mail I loved this movie from the moment I saw it. 2019. First Nation characters being downtrodden by the white man finally getting their chance for a better life when mother nature infects mankind with a zombie virus that they are immune to. Beautifully shot, with some scenes reminiscent of art house cinema, and a growing tension that puts it up there as a mashup of True Detective and...

As the zombie apocalypse rages in the background trailer trash lovers Nick and Molly head out of Las Vegas to catch a plane with Nick's associates. The plan is to fly to Mexico. Do they get there? Do they f*ck! After their Porsche gets stuck on a desert freeway Nick is killed my a shuffler and...

Send us Fan Mail We are both back and Micheal is playing catchup. He is watching the DVDs of movies we have covered in previous episodes. Here we talk the Canadian 2017 Canadian Death Trench aka Trench 11, a particularly dull WW1 parasites themed zombie movie. It should have been good, it could have been good. It was wasn't. It was dull. The parasites were good practical effects, the acting,...

Send us Fan Mail This was awful. What drew me to it? The name? Zombie Town. Tick. It was made in 2023. Tick. It starred Dan Ackroyd, Chevy Chase and Henry Czerny. Tick, tick and tick. But... It was a 12. A 12! Not even a PG. A 12! Which meant no gore at all, no violence even, no blood, no swearing, no nudity, none of the good stuff. But then what did we expect from RL Stine the creator of Goosebum...
