Episode 386: Code Red (2013)
A bizarre horse dick of a Bulgarian (country 45 baby!) zombie film that starts brilliantly before collapsing into absolute diabolical nonsense. The WW2 openng section, set during Stalingrad, is brutal, tense and genuinely exciting. ...
Episode 385: Night of the Creeps
A fun one for our 400th zombie movie or show, a classic that was one of the IMDB top 50 zombie movies and the only one of that top 50 that we were yet to cover. And there is a lot to unpick here.We have aliens sending an experiment in mi...

Episode 381: Hello Zombie! (2014)
A low budget Japanese indie with a runtime of 45 minutes this follows the well trodden path of a production company making a zombie movie only for then the zombie apocalypse to actually happen around them. It is rarely done well, I am thinking ...
Episode 380: Johnny Gruesome (2018)
Wading through TUBI again this weekend and the stink is under my fingernails. Johnny Gruesome is next up, a story of a revenant coming back to wreak revenge on those he thinks did him wrong.In this case it is D student metal head Johnny ...
Episode 379: The Signal (2007)
Not to be confused with the 2014 movie of the same name with Brenton Thwaites and Laurence Fishburne this is a mixture of the movie we watched before this, Cell, with a signal/pulse turning people homicidal, like The Crazies. So if you liked Th...
Episode 378: Cell (2016)
John Cusack, Samuel L Jackson and Isabell Fuhrman from The Orphan movies, based on a Stephen King novel about zombies created by a pulse and linked to cellphones, and directed by the director of Paranormal Activity 2. Should have been a slam du...

Episode 374: Air Shift (2026)
There are three radio station based zombie movies and this is by far the worst. Writer/director Chris Maes creates an absolute shambles of a movie that only stretches to 76 minutes thanks to repeated use of the same shots of zombies slowly head...

Episode 371: Zomboat! (Parts 4 to 6)
And so I am back into the second half of the show, the 2019 Zomboat! available on Amazon, an ITV2 show of 6 20 something minute episodes. So to break it down, it is set in Birmingham, for those not in the UK, it is the second largest city in th...
Episode 370: Zomboat! (Parts 1 to 3)
This one passed me by completely. A British zom com set in Birmingham on the Grand Union Canal to London. Made in 2019, it is about four characters Kat, and her sister Jo, Amar and Sunny, surviving the zombie apocalypse on a canal boat. And, I ...

"Forgive me father for I have skinned." - Cancer spelled Kansa.A movie so terrible I had to take five sitting to finish it including a nap and a work call I didn't even need to be on, a movie so bad it needed narration and constant music...
Episode 368: The Silence After (2025) aka Lost in Darkness ((2022)
Our first (and potentially second) zombie movie from Barbados. It is really a post COVID, post vaccine, anti-vaxxer load of tosh in which we barely see anything from the government or the mysterious military chemical facility in the description...
Episode 367: Zombiology - Enjoy yourself tonight!
2017 and from Hong Kong this movie is a bag of cats. It is all over the place. A supposed comedy movie with two slackers Lone and Yeung, living in a run down Cantonese opera house run by their aunt, thinking they are the Heavenly and Earth drag...

Always happy to talk Dead Zero, having followed the project for so long, and in this episode we have the man himself, Lee Donaldson, back now we have seen the first chapter. We talk the future of the project, and funding options for fans and fo...
Episode 365: Everyday of the Dead (2023)

Episode 364: Colony (2026)
Once the Bone Temple was released we looked at the calendar and the next big ticket item for zombie movie fans wasn't the gender swap NOTLD remake (another one!) or the scene by scene remake of ROTLD, no, sir, it was the next zombie movie by
