A deadly virus sweeps across the planet, turning anyone it can infect into a flesh hungry monster. Supermarket manager Howie and one of his employees, the unassuming shelf-stacker Dave, who just happens to be an ex-special-forces killing machine, team up to survive the apocalypse. As Howie and Dave collect an assortment of survivors, Haywood injects a heavy dose of gallows humour and proper geezer bants into the full speed ahead bloody mayhem.
Peelers (2016)
I have no idea why it’s called Peelers, perhaps because set around strippers in a strip bar, but it’s all you’d expect from a movie that starts on the image of a strippers nipple. It’s not subtle, nor does it obey any real logic. It’s as grim as the effects created blood splatter, and half eaten woman who gets to meet her baby. In a world where you have to take the rough with the smooth, this is definitely taking a bit of rough.
Black Summer – S:1 (2019– )
Spinning-off Z Nation (2014-2018), The Asylum’s copycat of The Walking Dead, Black Summer feels grounded, dare I say it, serious. The Asylum are “notorious for producing titles that capitalise on productions by major studios” but this feels like something out on it’s own, rather than piggybacking on a bigger title. They’re not playing for laughs, the way Z Nation does, but digging into the urgency, the fear, the drama, in the early days of the zombie apocalypse.
Trailer: THE DEAD DON’T DIE
A Father’s Day (2016)
A cool zombie short from Mat Johns.
Trailer: CARGO
This looks interesting.
