Tom Savini cameo poster for the 4th Reich Nazi zombie movie
This is an upcoming UK zombie flick by Shaun Robert Smith that is supposed to begin shooting in Spring 2010.
The movie is based on Smith’s short film The Soldier and is supposed to be in 3D. It looks pretty promising and we definitely could use another Nazi zombie movie. Not to mention it looks like there is going to be a cameo of Tom Savini, which is nice.
I Walked With a Zombie (1943)
This classic voodoo style zombie produced by Val Lewton was one of the greats, right up there with the likes of Cat People and The Body Snatcher.
Though there isn’t a whole lot of action and cheap thrills, the movie does have a nice story and provides an almost eerily quite atmosphere. If I had to pick between this and White Zombie, I take this any day.
There’s been a lot of speculation about JJ Abrams next project called 500 Rads, which a lot of bloggers are guessing will be some kind of post-apocalyptic zombie film, but really it’s all very hush hush, top secret and no one knows for sure.
I hope it’s either a cool zombish type film or even better, a sequal to the 1986 BMX movie - Rad :P
The Light of Daigh Trailer - new indie zombie trailer by Ritual Pictures.
The full movie hasn’t actually been completed yet as the production company is still seeking funding. However, from the trailer it looks decent so far and the plot seems somewhat similar to 28 Days Later.
It doesn’t look official yet, but the rumors of a spin-off tv series of Romero’s Dawn of the Dead have been flying around the blogoshpere all day. According to the article, it will feature both fast and slow zombies… hmmm interesting.
I’ll work on trying to get more details for you guys, hopefully this thing happens.
Zombi 2 (Zombie), 1979 (dir. Lucio Fulci)
By zombiecritic
This movie broke so much ground in the zombie genre and basically kicked off the whole weird Italian zombie movie craze. Not to mention, zombie vs. shark… nuff said!
Night of the Comet (1984)
When a rare comet fly’s by the earth, the people of the world are turned into red dust leaving a small group of survivors, mainly teenage girls with big hair. The problem with the survivors is that some of them have been turned into zombies, a problematic issue for those who inherit the earth and all it’s shopping malls as their personal playground.
It’s about what one could expect from a cheesy 80s horror movie. It’s like a high school girl version of I am Legend or Omega Man. The movie clearly doesn’t take itself too seriously and is actually amusing in some spots, but overall could probably be compressed into 20 minutes of solid film.
My official rating on this is: Meh…
