Gore and Spills of laughter!

I caught The Revenant at a horror film festival in the UK late last year and to my amazement it surprised the living hell out of me.

*To be honest I have to state that for the £15 i spent on going to the festival I would have spent that alone to watch, buy or download a copy of this movie its great...

It's zombie flick meet vampire flick meets cops and robbers! (so to speak) I myself and the audience where in fits of laughter throughout the movie and where still talking about it for days / weeks to come.

I don't want to give any spoilers away but I will just advise people thinking about going to see this to not think, JUST DO! and for the love of god enjoy it! :)

For fans of: Zombies, Vampires, Sex, Blood, Guns and over the top stupidity.

*I just hope this gets an actual screening in the UK and doesn't just go straight to DVD!*
