Chernobyl post-scripts

Please note: there are some mild spoilers for Chernobyl Diaries in this article.
In preparation for viewing – and doing coverage on – Ridley Scott’s impending Prometheus, I recently splurged and purchased the Alien Anthology box set on Blu-ray. This marked the first time I had seen the original Alien in something like 15 years, and I was taken aback by how, on the one hand, the movie had retained its effectiveness as a filmic experience but how, on the other, it is severely lacking as a narrative endeavor. The entirety of the story is simply watching a group of seven individuals be picked off one by one by a barely-seen creature; the only closure offered is simply seeing the protagonist survive. “A haunted house in space,” Ridley Scott called it – and indeed it is, offering the same degree of storytelling scope (albeit with masterful cinematic finesse, both in its direction and »

DVD Review - War of the Dead (2011)
28 May 2012 4:13 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
War of the Dead, 2011.
Directed by Marko Mäkilaakso.
Starring Andrew Tiernan, Mikko Leppilampi, Samuel Vauramo, Mark Wingett, Andreas Wilson and Jouko Ahola.
Synopsis:
A platoon of soldiers encounter a horde of Nazi zombies after being driven deep into a Russian forest.
I don’t think that George A. Romero knew when he titled his cheeky zombie flick Night of the Living Dead (as well as its sequels) that he would spark a revolution among filmmakers to simply title their zombie movie “Insert Word of the Dead”. With so many of these “of the Dead” movies in existence, it’s easy for a lot of them to slip past your radar. I mean, who’s to say that Flight of the Dead is better than Survival of the Dead based on the title alone? The point I’m trying to make is that by giving this film the incredibly unimaginative title War of the Dead, »

Horror Movie 'Kill Me Again' Begins Pre-Production
27 May 2012 6:06 PM, PDT | MoreHorror | See recent MoreHorror news »
By Seth Metoyer, MoreHorror.com
An upcoming horror film called Kill Me Again has recently kicked off pre-production. The film will star actress and producer April Washko and will be directed by Steven Rodriguez.
Check out the larger version of the teaser poster as well as a special memorial day greeting from the film-makers below the official press kit details.
From The Press Kit:
Unlike other horror movies, "Kill Me Again" provides its audience with a dramatically intelligent, and emotionally charged storyline, set within the hugely popular zombie genre.
Fans of AMC’s Emmy award winning “The Walking Dead” will without a doubt consider "Kill Me Again" a welcome addition to the zombie genre family.
George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" was only the beginning. "Kill Me Again" promises to continue onward, thus keeping the zombie legacy alive, as it were.
So, we ask…“When the time comes… »

Happy Birthday Vincent Price!
27 May 2012 1:58 PM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
Did you know that Christopher Lee and Vincent Price share the same birthday? Vincent Price would have been 101 years old today, and I have a list of his films for you to check out, along with an embedded version of House on Haunted Hill you can watch for free.
While many remember Vincent Price for Edward Scissorhands, The Fly, and the Corman-produced Poe adaptations, there are plenty of lesser-known classics. For those of you haven’t see The Last Man on Earth, I highly suggest watching it. You’ll notice how similar it is to the modern zombie story and looks like it served as inspiration for George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead.
Whether you’re a younger horror fan that missed out on some of these films or just haven’t watched them in a while, Netflix Instant is offering over a dozen titles that star Vincent Price, »

Hey Montreal! Don’t miss the Grindhouse presentation of Romero’s ‘Night Of The Living Dead’
27 May 2012 10:11 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Almost universally panned by critics when released, the film eventually developed a cult following, playing on the midnight movie circuit for more than a decade and becoming one of the most influential horror films since Psycho. The film spawned five sequels, and innumerable remakes and clones. Often imitated, but never duplicated, Night of the Living Dead launched director George A. Romero on the path to become the king of Zombiedom.

Join us Sunday June 10th for an outdoors rain or shine event, as the Grindhouse Crew presents George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (35mm print), @ Terrasse St-Ambroise, 5080 rue St-Ambroise Montréal, Qc.

Film Review: Inconsistent ‘Chernobyl Diaries’ Still Finds Effective Ways to Creep You Out
24 May 2012 9:01 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Bradley Parker’s “Chernobyl Diaries” has just enough personality, confident technical elements, and outright weirdness to make it a trip worth taking for horror fans. The fact that the parts of the production that undeniably work couldn’t be wrangled into something that’s more competent overall is disappointing but there’s more to like here than one would expect. It’s a bit of a wasted opportunity but it will find a loyal audience who finds it original enough that they just don’t care.
Rating: 3.0/5.0
With elements of “Hostel,” “The Hills Have Eyes,” and “Night of the Living Dead,” “Chernobyl Diaries” certainly gets points for wacked-out originality. It’s not every Friday that you see a horror movie that includes a bear attack, rabid wolves, a mutated fish, and something that looks like the creature from “Basket Case” crawling across a floor. “Chernobyl Diaries” is a Weird »

UK Review: Return of the Living Dead Blu-ray
21 May 2012 4:33 PM, PDT | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
There's a scene in the late Dan O Bannon's campy zombie romp, The Return of the Living Dead, where our heroes strap down a captured ghoul to an examination table and actually ask the brain hungry beastly exactly why the hell the undead want our grey matter so badly.
“I can feel myself rotting. Brains..it makes the pain go away!” it wheezes. Exactly why no one has decided to capitalize on this idea in today's undead cinematic climate is anybody's guess, but O'Bannon's comedic alternative to George Romero's original nightmare, Night of the Living Dead, offers snappy ideas by the bucket load whilst throwing an irresistible mix of death-rock and punk rock-horror bands that tore up the eighties like The Damned and The Cramps, eschewing the overwhelming apocalyptic grip of dread that Night is renowned for.
It all often comes across as what the gag reel from John Landis »

Take Your First Looks at The Zombinator
15 May 2012 11:49 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Writer/director Sergio Myers wants to introduce you to his new cult hero, The Zombinator. Currently seeking distribution, The Zombinator hopes to be coming to a theater near you very soon.
Described as Blair Witch meets Night of the Living Dead, the movie was created, directed and produced by Sergio Myers, who shot the entire picture in four and a half days…with no script. And considering those restrictions, we've gotta say Myers did a kick ass job judging by the film's trailer, which we have below.
From the Press Release
Starring Patrick Kilpatrick and Joseph Aviel, The Zombinator is the story of a fashion blogger documentary turns into a zombie horror nightmare when college students in Youngstown Ohio come face to face with the undead. Their only hope of survival is a former soldier turned zombie killer (Joseph Aviel) trying to protect them from a mercenary (Patrick Kilpatrick) working »

Ready to Listen to John Russo's Movie Music?
15 May 2012 3:53 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
John Russo is a legend in the horror community and one of the original minds behind the film Night of the Living Dead. Russo will be releasing a new CD soon entitled John Russo's Movie Music!!. which will have songs from some of his horror movies. There is also a special treat on the CD--three songs are sung by the man himself!
Nearly everyone in the horror industry owes a lot of their success to John A. Russo whether they realize it or not. Russo is one of the founding fathers of the zombie genre, having created the original Night Of The Living Dead along with his friends George A. Romero, George Kosana and Russell Streiner in 1968. This was the first time zombies were featured in cinema history, although now zombies have stumbled their way into every form of media in the world and are continuing to turn fans »

Hollywood Unhinged – Should zombies run or stagger?
15 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Why Committed Movie Scientists may recommend the occasional staggering zombie horde.
As all horror fans will know, zombies have generally cut back on the pace in recent years. This is arguably a good thing. Zombie apocalypses are easier to digest when the undead are slow and steady, as the last remnants of humankind have a chance to consider their options and think about what it all means.
George A. Romero’s ghouls may have been staggering threats when he first unleashed Night of the Living Dead in the 60s, but, to the consternation of many purists Danny Boyle injected some pace in 28 Days Later. Boyle’s ‘infected’ humans vomited blood, looked pretty freaky in grainy digital footage and had found their running shoes.
Zombies have been firmly back in vogue since then, although comedy outings like Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland seem to have the most mileage at the moment. »

Elijah Wood Set To Play For Action-Thriller Grand Piano
1 May 2012 2:03 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Sometimes while commuting or doing the dishes, I amuse myself by imagining what would happen if two movies I love for very different reasons were mashed together. For example: Dirty Dancing meets Night of the Living Dead, where the blue-collared dancers and their snooty clients must put their differences aside to ward of zombies, and Patrick Swayze would belt out the line, "Nobody eats Baby in the corner!" These daydream monstrosities are wonderfully terrible from my imagined movie posters.in this case Baby and Johnny gripping each other passionately with one hand, toting shotguns in the other.to their atrocious tag lines ("They won't stay dead.or off the dance floor!"), which typically makes me snort laugh. They're fun to fantasize about because I'd never have to actually sit down and watch such ill-conceived mash-ups.until now. THR reports Elijah Wood has just signed on to star in an indie »
Exclusive Interview: Dr. Peter Cummings Answers Zombie Medical Questions
29 April 2012 3:28 PM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
Last Sunday, we introduced you to Dr. Peter Cummings, who wrote a fictional book titled The Neuropathology of Zombies. He’s a forensic pathologist and we thought it would be interesting to get his opinion on some of our zombie medical questions.
We also asked readers to submit questions and have received some very interesting answers on topics such as zombie digestive tracts, pregnant zombies, the chance of animal infection, and much more:
If zombies digest flesh, how do their digestive tracts work? Would they ever feel full or are they completely insatiable?
In my zombie model the digestive system works by passive diffusion, meaning no metabolic energy is required to absorb (or digest) the food, in this case skin and muscle. Here is a quote from the book that might be a better explanation:
“The digestive system of the Driftwood is dead, it’s not working. To get around this, »

Blu-ray Review: The Red House
24 April 2012 7:56 AM, PDT | GordonandtheWhale | See recent GordonandtheWhale news »
Films that are found within the realms of what is known as the “public domain” are often both the greatest films around (I’m thinking of films like His Girl Friday or even a film like The Night Of The Living Dead) and also the type of films that you’ll find either in the bargain bin at your local Wal-mart or in a given collection of films with the worst visual quality imaginable. However, one of those films has just gotten its first release on Blu-ray stateside, and in a rather masterful quality.

The AfterElton Interview: Eddie McClintock of "Warehouse 13"

Eddie McClintock photographed by Clinton Gaughran for AfterElton
It's no secret that we're big fans of Eddie McClintock around here. The sexy star of Warehouse 13 has not one, not two, but three photo galleries on our Facebook page, and had us tuning in to the show long before they ever introduced a gay character last year. The former wrestler from Ohio is loudly pro-equality, with a wicked sense of humor that comes from a genuine place in his heart. He recently spoke with me about the show, playing gay on Felicity, growing up in the Midwest, his family, and the created family he now has on Warehouse 13. He even invited us into his home for a revealing photo shoot. This is obviously the beginning of my campaign to have him in our Hot 100 this year.
