*scratches head in confusion*

Technology confuses me.

I’ll listen to this cast again at some point and post the insightful shit. I’m pretty sure some of it had something to do with the ‘rules’ and it being an 80′s movie (this may also have something to do with tits too, but I’ll have to get back to you on that).

It is dreadful to the point of greatness. Many slightly less than living, ambulatory citizens of the world are unfairly maligned for their natural urges to eat peoples brains, or to tear them limb from limb. Not in this case. They are evil to their core. They are unremitting Nazi Zombies!

There is very little to recommend this film, other than all of it.

The back of the box mentions the word ‘comedy’. But I couldn’t see it myself. That said, I laughed my bol… um… socks of on several occasions towards the end. This was probably assisted by a few glasses of wine.

I wouldn’t recommend dashing out to buy it. But is certainly one to be borrowed and watched when you have watched everything else. Gather a bunch of like minded mates (who also love poor horror movies), and ply them (and yourself) with cheap booze.

If you don’t come out of it thinking ‘I actually really enjoyed that’, then don’t bother coming to a movie night round mine.

Possibly from repeat viewings of 1982 version the characters have really bedded in over the years. I’ve watched the 1982 version with a few newbies and they have problems keeping track initially of who’s who. After seeing 2011 three times, I missed Lars the second time around, even remembered his name so there’s hope.

With regards to the brazenness of The Thing from a story perspective its in-keeping and it makes sense that it’s more active as to quote Mac “it wakes up, probably not the best of moods.” Also it’s possible it learns for the events in the Norwegian camp and is therfore a little more subtle and clever when it gets to the American camp, ” I don’t know. Because it’s different than us. Because it’s from outer space. What more do you want from me,” I didn’t write it but you’re spot on – the CGI is distracting.

Keep up the great work – love the site.

The only thing it needed to become ‘watchable for some’ is to create more gay sex scenes and take a place among the porn shelves.

So if you’re bored and think gayness is fun and you like to indulge urself in B-movies where nothing has gone right, then this is the perfect movie for you.

The Dead is definitely a must see; a moving and emotional movie – not much more I can say as you’ve said it all perfectly above.

Great review!

Well I doubt Strippers vs. Werewolves can be as bad as Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! or Zombie Strippers. And I think the strippers DO become werewolves, because in the trailer you see some ladies with huge fangs. Perhaps vampires are involved too?

Who knows.

Guess we’ll have to wait until 2012 to find out!

There WAS a strippers vs. zombies movie, from what I remember, that I watched part of off of Netflix, but could not sit through until the end.

Also, at first, i thought Bill Murray!?!?! Why!?!?!?!

But it’s BILLY Murray. I get it now.

Of course, the developer of the game isnt well known and I would imagine aren’t top notch, so some of the game is a bit rough around the edges, minor mistakes that should have been corrected in quality assurance testing but weren’t probably due to rush release when the hype for this game was through the roof.

I think Dead Rising was too “arcadey” style, non realistic, and the gameplay questionable. And what games are made in 2011 that feature characters who dont speak but communicate through subtitles? Left 4 Dead was great, not many complaints besides a lack luster single player campaign. Resident Evil 5 was great except for slow gameplay and poor aiming controls. My point, I dont think any of those 3 games put EVERYTHING together that zombie fans wanted in a video game, I think Dead Island came close to achieving this.

Classic zombie apocalypse scenarios, realistic high quality graphics, Fallout style item collection, large amount of varying weapons customizable, escort missions, survivor safe houses, deep zombie damage system, unique missions/storyline, great gameplay, and long duration.

Overall, yes I agree rough around the edges with the glitches of zombies falling threw walls, punching through closed doors, odd save system which doesnt let you save anytime and respawns seemingly in random areas, and at times the games graphics have cut in and rendering slows downs, sound cuts in and out. But these are uncommon and not very bothersome. Very tolerable.

Hope a sequel is to follow which corrects some of the minor annoyances, enhances what it does right, and adds a local 2 player Co-Op mode.

Also DLC content?

That’s the joy of films – they divide opinion! I cannot legitimately add 2 or 3 skulls to this review based on it being really good fun – otherwise absolute shit like Shark in Venice would get 8 of out 10 for being so utterly terrible it’s accidentally hilarious. I try and look at a film as a whole, not just whether it was a forgettable laugh or not!

Preist’s budget was an estimated $60 million – how is that not having a “huge Hollywood budget”. That’s massive!

Perhaps it’s your love of Doomsday that suggests to me you have a love for this sort of film – I found Doomsday to be a little “messy” to say the least – but I’m glad someone liked it. And liked Priest. I found it predictable and horribly overwrought, but that’s just me…

Keep having differing opinions! It’s what makes reviewing / watching / enjoying / hating films so interesting!!

But once again I feel his standards are too high. He is not appreciating this film for what it is. It is a comic (or graphic novel/movie if you wanna get arsey). It doesn’t have a huge Hollywood budget, and really doesn’t try to be.

For me it ticks so many boxes. I love post appocalytic, cyber/steam punk, vampire, action and medieval genres. Finding them all in one film filled me with as much glee as I got from watching Doomsday. And in this one they have huge bikes (who hasn’t read 2000ad and not wanted a Lawmaster)!!!

No, it’s not particularly slick. It’s not particularly tightly scripted. It’s not going to challenge your views on life. But it is damn good fun. Things explode, vamps jump about really fast, the heroes cut up an shoot the bad guys, characters agonise over mildy pretentious shit. And there are big bikes!. It is a couple of hours of my life that I consider well spent. And fully intend to spend it at least once or twice more.

You can ask more from a movie… But you can get so much less. Add 2 or 3 skulls and you got my rating.

Well, I guess they went with the secondary option and go for a prequel then. It worked quite well for Tremors after all.

I’m sure there are plenty of other film series that follow the rules of “Part 4 should be set in space / in the past”. (Actually, didn’t Hellraiser 4 tick both boxes in the one film?)

Anyway, I loved the second film in the Wrong Turn series, I doubt this will be up there with that but glad to hear it’s (slightly) better than pt 3. Maybe I’ll give it a go.

Like everyone is saying; the performances are all excellent, the gore is handled well, but the tone is so spread thin that it just doesn’t sit well.
