Check Out The Road to Hell in The Evil Dead Remake

Saturday, February 4th, 2012

Fede Alvarez’s the Evil Dead remake is galloping at 1000 MPH as they have found not only their leading man in Shiloh Fernandez but also their leading lady Jane Levy. Maybe the talent involved aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but when it comes to locations, it has to be on top form and perhaps they have found it.

Here we have the first photo from the shoot courtesy of Fede Alvarez which shows us the dreaded road to hell. You know, you’ve seen the awesome original, you know that the s*it hits the fan down this road, here’s hoping the remake deliver’s the goods.

The Evil Dead remake hits theatres on April 12, 2013.

Walking Dead Season 2.5 Nebraska First 3 Minutes

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

The first 3 minutes of the upcoming Walking Dead Season episode called Nebraska has just hit the web. Many of you like me have been dieing to checkout the second half of Walking Dead Season 2.

To be completely up front I think that delaying the second half of the series this long was a bit of a bonehead move since all the build up from the first half has definitely washed away at this point. I would kind of like to rewatch them so I can get back up to speed but then I am sure AMC will replay the entire first half of Walking Dead Season 2 to sell a few more ad spots on the boob tube.

Dont missThe Walking Dead at 9/8c on Feb 12, 2012.

Poster & Trailer for Zombie Film Lust of the Dead

Monday, January 9th, 2012

In this day and age you would think you have seen it all. Nothing left to shock you or maybe to cause some controversy? Well, our crazy Japanese friends sure know what buttons to push as director Tomomatsu Naoyuki is set to release the zombie flick titled, R*pe Zombie: Lust of the Dead.

I’m sure you can gather the title, I just don’t intend to insult anyone. So anyway, we have the first trailer and poster courtesy of Film Smash, unfortunately no synopsis is available at this time, but the trailer needs NO explanation, or maybe it does. Check it out and see what you make of it.

Now, this may just be me, but I find myself more offended by the shoddy CGI than I do with the controversial subject matter.

The film stars Alice Ozawa, Asami Sugiura, Saya Kobayashi, Takeshi Nakazawa, Youko Satomi, Miho Wakabayashi,Riri Kouda, Yuria Hidaka, Amu Kamika, Yuuya Takayama, Fukuten and Ryouichi Inaba.

Watch Walking Dead Season 2: Episode 6 Free Sneak Peak

Saturday, November 19th, 2011

I have to be honest I was a huge fan of Walking Dead Season one and I literally waited with anticipation for Sunday to see the next episode. As much as I want to say I feel the same way about Season 2 I simply can not. It is a slow plodding affair and it seems that AMC has expanded to 13 episodes but rather then the writing team doubling the fun just added more worthless dialogue.

I am a huge proponent for zombies and the combination of human drama but Walking Dead Season 2 is less about survival then it is about the ridiculous dialogue which is tragic. Season One had the perfect mix of isolation, terror and human drama to make it a smash hit.

Season 2 so far has done nothing for me but make me hope things will get better and question the need for a third season without Frank Darabont. I am starting to wonder if we are starting to see why Frank left / was let go from the project after fighting over the direction of the series.

The Dead (2010)

Saturday, October 8th, 2011
Reviewer Rating: 
6


thedeadusart.jpg
Rating #: 

6/10

Director: 

Howard J. Ford

Runtime: 

105 minutes

Cast: 

Rob Freeman, Dan Morgan

Overall: 

The Dead is a sigh of relief for the sub-genre, as it makes zombies creepy again by bringing back the old school slow-walking formula that was seemingly forgotten in recent efforts. Sadly, despite that and its great unique setting, the film falls victim to some pacing issues and the lack of strong enough characters or story. Negative aside, those who are into survival road movies or just want a slightly different take on modern zombie films may enjoy this.

After numerous recent genre efforts featuring nimble marathon-running zombies/infected people, The Dead is a very welcomed return to the old school slow-walking zombies. In fact, they don’t just walk slow, they literally take baby steps to get to their prey, and it surprisingly works quite well. Unfortunately, the movie still suffers from some iffy acting and a lack of strong enough lead characters and engaging story.

Described as the "first zombie road movie," the film revolves around a military engineer named Brian, who’s the lone survivor of a plane crash after he and a group of other people attempted to vacate Africa. Now, low on ammo, food, and water, he must make the arduous trek through Africa’s dangerous roads and deserts in hopes of finding some sort of safe haven or a way off the continent.

Dead Island DLC Details

Sunday, September 11th, 2011

I’m sure many of you are aware that Dead Island came out earlier this week to some mixed reviews and a bit of controversy as well. [ Dead Island Review ]

What everyone was not aware of is that if you pre-ordered the game you received a code for a nice piece of DLC only they couldn’t use it. Not yet anyway.

According to Kotaku, the DLC is called Bloodbath Arena and will be released later this month for everyone. The catch is if you didn’t get the code its gonna cost you around .

Bloodbath Arena is exactly what it sounds like. You will get four maps in which zombies will come at you in waves. Basically a thunderdome with zombies. Sort of like any survival mode you may have played in any other game. So far it sounds pretty interesting and I’m sure this is being done to make sure you have fun with the game even after you have finished the campaign.

Steam Version of Dead Island: Do Not Buy It!

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

If you were anxious to play Dead Island at launch and bought your copy on Steam for the PC than you may have noticed some rather odd problems. It appears that the game that was sent to Steam was a developer build and not the finished version of the game. Thankfully the developer has responded to Kotaku about the situation and promise to patch it:

We deeply regret that an incorrect version of Dead Island was inadvertently made available to players on Steam launch in North America. We are very sorry for any issues you may have experienced while playing the game — the correct, patched version will be made available to North American players ASAP.”

Just to see how whacked out it is check out the video below. It actually looks quite beautiful being able to see the whole island this way:
