Quick reminder, "Zombie Strippers" comes out on friday with Jenna Jameson and Robert Englund. How can you pass this one up?It's a Sony film so I've got my fingers crossed it will have a wide release, but I'm not holding my breath.

Last night I stopped by the dollar theater with Pablo to watch 28 Weeks Later for the second time. It'll be out on DVD soon, but I wanted to see it a second time in the theater. This will be more general musings than a proper review, and will contain spoilers, but I assume most of us have seen it, once.What leaped out at me this time was the opening segment with Robert Carlyle (Trainspotting,

The final chapter of the Xombie saga is up now and it's... kinda disappointing. It certainly wasn't the big ending I was expecting. It's more of a plug for his new comic book. But it looks great. I've been watching this series for two and a half years and his animation has improved drastically in that time. Now James Farr needs to make the series available for download so I can watch it on

Way to go George! The Weinsteins picked up Romero's new film, which premiered over the weekend at the TIFF, for between 2 to 2.5 mil. This means two things. One, we will probably see a nationwide release for Diary, and two, George will probably launch right into another film. I couldn't be more excited for this news! It's all over the net so I'm not linking to a specific story.Also, the

Fox Atomic has some great ideas: 1-Make a sequel to 28 Days Later, 2-Make a comic book to cross promote said sequel, 3-get Steve Niles to write it.And thus we get 28 Days Later: Aftermath, a graphic novel in four parts that begins before the first film and takes us all the way into the second. For those who aren't familiar with Mr. Niles' work, he wrote the comic book and part of the screenplay

Since this is not part of our current flight of zombie films (we're doing Asian films right now) it's only going to get a short write up. When we get to the 80's we may do a full review on it.I was a little nervous when I picked this up because it would be the first film in my zombie collection to come with a PG-13 rating. Could you still have a good horror movie with out sex, drugs, and

Wow, more news than you can use over this weekend, but I've tried to round it all up.The most exciting news is that Undead or Alive has gotten distribution!! According to Horror-movies.ca Image Entertainment picked up the rights and plan to put it on DVD during December.The first review of Romero's new film Diary of the Dead is up at Horror-movies.ca, but I won't read it, I already know I want

DISCLAIMER!! A lot of people hated this film. I wasn’t too thrilled the first time I watched it either. There is really only one way to properly enjoy it, and that is to ignore the fact that it is called Day of the Dead 2. It has nothing to do with the original film and they named it this because the production company had the rights to the name and knew it would help them sell DVDs, and we

Bruce Campbell's site is reporting that his new film My Name is Bruce will be out on DVD this fall, but no specific date was given.In other zombie news, Horror-Movies.ca discovered some Day of the Dead remake photos at Nick Wagner Photography. They're old photos because the site lists DOTD as coming to theaters in April '07. They're sweet photos though, and inspire some confidence in a film

Gametrailers.com's XBox 360 podcast loaded up a lot of new game play clips for Left4Dead today. This game looks freaking amazing, and I will be there day one when it launches. For the uninitiated, Left4Dead is an upcoming PC & Xbox 360 game where you are one of 4 survivors battling there way out of LA. These zombies are of the fast variety and come at you by the dozens and it bears a lot of

Infected is a flash game you can play in your browser to promote the film 28 Weeks Later, and it's a real piece of shit. You play as one of the infected and you run left and right trying to infect other people. The control scheme is very simple, relying on the left and right buttons, and the space bar. Unlike the movies though, the people you infect just fall down and die instead of becoming

Over the long weekend I burned through Dead City by Joe McKinney and I liked it pretty well. If you enjoyed World War Z then pick this book up, because it pretty much reads like an extended chapter from that book. It focuses on a the first 24 hours of a zombie outbreak in San Antonio, TX and specifically follows one cop who’s fighting through the hordes to find his wife and newborn.It starts

Precious Nightmare & Home Page of the Dead are reporting that the 2nd installment of Deadscapes has only one more shoot scheduled and they've already started editing. I haven't scene pt 1 yet but it's on my list and I wish the crew the best of luck. Also, look for the first book review for my site this week of Dead City, and the last installment of our Modern American Independent series,

and it's way sweeter than the old one. Movies Online posted this with a link to a trailer, which I have not watched (I don't wanna get anymore hyped on a film I might not see for half a year or more).

I had read a little about Gangs of the Dead last year and was pretty excited for it. I thought it sounded very action oriented and I was happy to see a zombie genre film that wasn’t white washed or set in the country. So when it showed up in the discount bin at the used movie store I picked it right on up for $9. Does it deliver? Rachel (her comments in red) and I find out.STAT

I had picked up this week’s flick, Zombie Honeymoon, on the cheap at the used video store with a few others. When I was perusing the letter column at the end of Walking Dead #39, I was excited to see Robert Kirkman say “Zombie Honeymoon. GREAT film. If you haven't seen it, you really should. It's heart wrenching tho.” about this film. Well, this was actually a misprint, it looked like

Part 2 of our Modern American Independents series finds us heading from the plains of Texas up to Pawtucket, Rhode Island for Feeding the Masses, a zombie film focusing on the state of modern media. Imagine if the characters from Dawn of the Dead had never left the TV studio. Rachel (her comments in red) joins me again to tell you if you should tune in or change the channel.STAT

I wanted to start out our reviews with a series of 5 movies or so from the American independent films from the last 10 years. Out of a choice of four, my reviewing partner, Rachel (her comments are in red), thought Dead & Breakfast looked like the most fun, and I’m inclined to agree, this is a very fun flick in the tradition of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Dead Alive (Brain Dead).STAT

I've been thinking about doing this page for a while & now I'm biting the bullet. I have 100+films in the genre in my personal collection and will be going through them 1 a week. I won't be talking about the major films from the genre because if you've made it this far I'm assuming you've seen the Romero films, the Raimi films, the Return of the Living Dead Series, ect.I will be discussing the
