Zombies

“Start to Finish” is essentially when the survivors of Alexandria have to finally stop and ask: Is this place really worth it?

Dying Light is probably one of the best surprises to come out this year, despite arriving in January. For so many reasons, the game simply should not have worked, being yet another zombie game released into an already insanely saturated market is just the tip of the problematic iceberg for this game. It’s also a …

“Always Accountable” is a change from the tone of the first half of season six, while continuing to chronicle how Rick’s group are dealing with the feces hitting the fan.

After last week’s complex and meditative turn with “Here is Not Here,” we’re back to the chaos of the failed plot by Rick and co. to lead the massive herd of walkers away from Alexandria.

Maggie pits Arnold Schwarzenegger against zombies, but not in the way you’d expect. The titular character (Abigail Breslin) is infected, but Wade (Schwarzenegger) isn’t driving into the city to put down the zombie threat, he’s bringing his daughter home before the disease reaches its inhumane conclusion. Protocols are implemented to keep the virus contained to …

 It’s almost Halloween, so chances are many of you have or are gearing up to watch George A. Romero’s classics Night of the Living, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and/or even Land of the Dead. Before you watch those, check on this new crowdfunding project on Indiegogo from the famed director’s son G. …

On August 30th, 1972, Deathdream was released to American theaters. Not the standard Halloween release month, but close enough to it. This second Tombstone Tuesday pick is unlike any other zombie flick in terms of its storyline and technicalities. This movie features one zombie, in one town, with only one purpose to kill.

In the spirit of Sound on Sight’s 31 Days of Horror, I decided to select some horror related forgotten television. Although not entirely a horror TV series, Death Valley surely has the gore factor of one and certainly the mythology of one.

TVLine has posted some more hints at what the in-development Walking Dead companion series on AMC will bring with a brief breakdown of the leading characters. SEAN CABRERA | A Latino male in his early 40s, Sean is a good man trying to do right by everyone in his life. CODY CABRERA | Sean’s whip-smart and rebellious teenage …

George Romero decided to make his latest zombie masterpiece a comic book with a planned 15 issues split into three acts,rather than a movie. Act 1 was recently released as a trade paperback. It’s hard to write an objective review of Empire Of The Dead. If you are over a certain age and love zombies than you know that George Romero almost singlehandedly defined the genre. In which case it becomes too easy too give him a pass on his more recent endeavors (Survival Of The Dead) because of his past work (Dawn Of The Dead). If you don’t care for zombies than you have no business reading Empire Of The Dead in the first place.

In my favorite console article, the reason why the Xbox 360 was purchased over a PS3 was because of Dead Rising. When the opportunity to procure a Xbox One presented itself, I snatched it up because I could play Dead Rising 3. But does this latest installment warrant you purchasing the latest console or should …

If any case could be made for the advantage of running zombies in the zombie film sub-genre, Dead Set would easily trump any argument against the device. While I’m a zombie enthusiast who loves the lumbering dead, Dead Set not only endorses running zombies, but makes turns them on to a world of lazy, complacent …

In the midst of a horrific zombie apocalypse that has put paid to much of civilization, an action survivor anti-hero attempts to make an escape from a parking lot with a small crowd of diseased flesh devourers in hot pursuit. He reaches his car, but in his haste drops his keys to the ground, losing vital time.

Morality in videogames is something that has been explored in various forms. My first experience with a morality system was from the Fable series. In the Fable games your character’s appearance changes based on how good or bad you are and each route has its own benefits. Another game that springs to mind is Black …

In a profile by Taffy Brodesser-Akner for the New York Times, Max Brooks, author of both World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide, is apparently quite serious about the zombie apocalypse. I have little doubt that Max Brooks is an intelligent man, and behind his facade of anxiety and fear, I think he has …

Graveyard of Empires Vol. 1 TP Story: Mark Sable Art: Paul Azaceta Colours: Matthew Wilson Letterer/Desginer: Thomas Mauer Publisher: Image Comics War has been a tough sell in Hollywood over the last decade, with a number of high profile films barely making a dent in the box-office. With the exception of Zero Dark Thirty, it seems …

The Walking Dead, Season 3, Episode 1: “Seed” Written by Glen Mazzara Directed by Ernest Dickerson Airs Sundays at 9pm ET on AMC Simon Howell: Almost to a comical degree, the five-minute cold open to The Walking Dead‘s third season opener seems to say: “Yes, we did in fact get the memo.” Our not-so-merry band …

The Walking Dead, Season 2, Episode 13: “Beside the Dying Fire” Written by Robert Kirkman and Glen Mazzara Directed by Ernest Dickerson Airs Sundays at 10pm ET on AMC Credit where credit’s due. Where the first season of The Walking Dead sputtered out with a crap CGI explosion that was way beyond its means at …

Season 3, Episode 7 Written by Howard Overman Directed by Alex Garcia & Wayne Yip Airs Sundays, 10pm GMT on E4 After last weeks fantastic episode, I looked forward to this one in the hopes that it would be a continuation in terms of quality because the previous episodes had not been up to par …

  Just when you thought the zombie crazy would die down, AMC gave the world a new reason to keep it alive and going strong with The Walking Dead series.We’ve watched some of our favorite characters from our favourite zombie films (Shaun of The Dead, Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later, Zombieland etc) survive …

Zombies became a popular device in modern horror fiction, largely because of the success of George A. Romero’s 1968 film Night of the Living Dead, and they have appeared as plot devices in various books, films and in television shows. The genre represents an inner desire to place blame for society’s misgivings on the establishment, …

Body Count: Volume 2 I was recently asked to write a horror script that would be produced by a local group that’s trying the Sam Raimi/Robert Rodriguez means of raising money for real features by making schlocky b-pictures as a revenue source. They’re hell bent on producing a zombie picture because everyone seems to have …

Zombieland (2009) Directed by Ruben Fleischer It’s been a couple of years since critics started calling the zombie trend dead and yet new films featuring our favourite brain gobbling monsters continue to fill theaters and draw crowds. Subgenres like the zom-rom-com have breathed a little life into things, but the question remains whether there are …
