Episode 333: Hsien of the Dead (2012)
The elation of finding a movie from our 42nd country was short lived within the first ten seconds of Hsien of the Dead, Singapore's Shaun of the Dead from 2012 and a supposed comedy. Although it was as funny as a road accident. This was awful, ...

A little chat-ette to start the week, as Michael appears in the rear view mirror to discuss the short-lived Netflix Resident Evil series and the first season of Black Summer amongst other things.

Episode 331: Godforsaken (2022)
I am going to be lazy here. These two reviews summed this movie up for me.A review 5/10 Some decent elements, but felt like it would never endOnce you get past the cheesy low budget acting, there are some good parts to this...

Episode 330: Hell's Ground and Altered Skin
Two movies from Pakistan in this episode, all prompted by Ollie Eats Brains who had just discovered Altered Skin but hadn't seen it. Taking a look into it further Pakistan doesn't have too many horror movies and the list of zombie movies is eve...

Episode 329: Chrysalis aka The Living Dead (2014)
Despite the sneaky rebranding of this movie, from changing the title from Chrysalis to The Living Dead, to making the DVD box look very The Walking Dead including the font and the colour scheme, and including the tag line about day of the ghoul...

Episode 328: The Cove aka Escape to the Cove
I hated this one.It wasn't that the writer/director/producer thought he was suited to play the vulnerable, although not really, overly macho nihilistic lead. It wasn't the 5 minute cameo of Eric Roberts in a setting wholly out of charact...

Episode 327: The Bay (2012)
Following on from a mention on a review of the far superior Savageland, this fake documentary/found footage horror was helmed by Barry Levinson. Yup, Oscar winner Barry Levinson. Good Morning, Vietnam, Rainman, Bugsy... etc etc and the list goe...

Episode 326: Savageland (2015)
A rarity for me, as this is a found footage documentary with a difference. An acted docu-drama where a town of 57 people are massacred and a man, Francisco Salazar, an illegal immigrant from Mexico is the only survivor and therefore the only su...

Episode 325: Miruthan (2016)
The first Tamil zombie movie sees mustachioed tough guy traffic cop Karthic take on the zombie hordes after a chemical spill. In true Bollywood style you will need to see past the bright red blood, cartoon sound effects, and at one point a full...

Episode 324: Dead Bloom (2025)
This is one of those movies, like Outbreak with Billy Burke, like Herd, that appeared on the Amazon feed from nowhere. Made in 2025, and doesn't mention the z word at all, instead describing itself as a socially charged horro...

Episode 323: We Bury the Dead (2025)
In this episode Michael and I chat Daisy Ridley's We Bury the Dead, a movie we have been looking forward to for such a long while. Both huge fans of not only Ridley but also Brenton Thwaites (Teen Titans, Office Uprising, Ghosts of War)....

Episode 322: Silent Night, Zombie Night
We have had zombie outbreaks whilst on international flights, we have had zombie outbreaks at a wedding, at a school trip to a petting zoo, and here, we have a bad daytime TV soap opera affair story, set in LA, at Christmas during the zombie ap...

Episode 321: The Curse of Hobbes House (2020)
"For a horror movie "The Curse of Hobbes House" was just unfathomably devoid of anything remotely scary."Hm.2020 British, only 3.4/10 on IMDB.Hm.The blurb is that “two estranged sisters visit their an...

Episode 320: A Midweek Catchup with Marmite on Toast
And so we are back at it. As I mentally prepare myself to watch the potentially abysmal The Curse of Hobbes House, Michael and I catch up to talk about the zombie entertainment we have seen recently, and what we plan to see in the coming weeks....

Episode 319: Last Days on Mars (2013)
So just to make sure, this isn’t Red Planet, with Carrie Anne Moss, Val Kilmer, Terrence Stamp, Simon Baker, Tom Sizemore and Benjamin Bratt. That is very different. Robot dog going nuts. As is the Ghosts of Mars the Ice Cube, Jason Statham, Pa...

Episode 318: Resident Evil (Parts 7 and 8)
There were moments in this show where I really loved it. I thought Lance Reddick as Wesker was inspired. Paola Núñez's unhinged Evelyn Marcus too grew on me. It has tension, and the dual story lines of the teens learning more about Umbrella in ...

Episode 317: Resident Evil (parts 4 to 6)
Sorry but after a Scooby doo episode in the basement, another fucking boat being the base, World War Z and Shockwaves being ripped off, future Billie becoming Chinese, and Wesker turning out to be a clone, I am a bit done with this one... but h...

Episode 316: Resident Evil (parts 1 to 3)
In 2022 Constantin the production company behind the Paul WS Anderson and Milla Jovovic movies worked with the asshats at Netflix to create this show that has literally nothing to do with the movies, or Welcome to Racoon City, the movie reboot ...

Episode 315: The 28 Drag Queens Later Catchup
And we come together to talk two movies high on our watch list for the year, Tina Romero's Queens of the Dead, and 28 Years Later The Bone Temple. What did we think of them? You will just have to listen to find out.

Episode 314: 28 Years Later The Bone Temple Addendum
So I saw 28 Years Later The Bone Temple and, unlike it's prequel, I loved it. This is the movie we all wanted 28 Years Later to be from Jim to the old theme tune, to villains getting their comeuppance, to the virus not only being the red eyed b...

Episode 313: 28 Years Later The Bone Temple
Michael has gone rogue, going to not only watch 28 Years Later The Bone Temple but also he recorded an episode of the podcast whilst Darren writes and appears in The Fallen Diaries episode 1. Questions will be answered, including but not limite...

Episode 312: Bong of the Dead vs Bong of the Living Dead
The things I do for you fucking people.Where am I going with this? Well, since We Bury the Dead and Uncontained, both decent movies, with the Daisy Ridley effort immediately cementing itself in my top 50 zombie movies, we are back on the...
