It seems every country wants a piece of zombie-film action and as new Cuban zombie satire Juan of the Dead proves, this well-worn genre is showing no signs of dying out

• What global box-office stories would you like to see in After Hollywood? Let us know in the comments below

Zombie films are becoming like burrito chains, or Olympic games: every nation's got to have one. Since the neo-zombie renaissance begun in earnest by Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later (2002), we've had American zombies (the return of George A Romero; the Dawn of the Dead remake; The Walking Dead), London-commuter zombies (Shaun of the Dead), Spanish zombies (Rec), Thai zombies (Sars Wars), Serbian zombies (Zone of the Dead) and Taiwanese zombies (the forthcoming Zombie 108). This week sees the arrival in UK cinemas of the Cuban incarnation, in Alejandro Brugués's zomcom Juan of the Dead.

Adele and The Artist have much to teach us about how to win big in awards season

There has, in the past few days, been substantial sweeping of "the board". First, almost-silent movie The Artist swept the board at the Baftas, prompting the winner of the best adapted screenplay award to thank it for not being based on an existing book. And then Adele swept the board at the Grammys a few hours later. Now, to the untrained eye, The Artist and Adele may not seem to have much in common – one is a film, the other is a person who probably won't be buying too many Karl Lagerfeld products any time soon.

In the case of The Innkeepers, our Porky and Sylvester are Luke (Pat Healy) and Claire (the amazing Sara Paxton). They are the only staff left supervising the Yankee Pedlar Inn on its last weekend of operation. Fortunately, the hotel only has a handful of guests, »
