Zombie Command

KGLucas gives a lengthy and insightful review of this provocative zombie story and it’s interesting take the zombie film genre. Not your typical zombie movie and not just because it’s French.

Zombieland is a Hollywood take on the Zom-Com (zombie comedy) in the same vein as Shaun of the Dead and directed by newcomer Ruben Fleischer. Starring Woody ‘In His Element’ Harrelson, Jesse ‘Stop Comparing Me To Michael Cera’ Eisenberg, Emma ‘On A Roll Since Superbad’ Stone and child star Abigail ‘Expect To See Me In Everything’ Breslin, it’s the comic tale of surviving in a post-zombocalyptic America and if you’ve not heard of it you’re probably in the wrong place!

Yeahhh, Rat Fans! Sorry, had to get it out of my system – on with the review.

Something peculiar is happening on the streets and subways of Manhattan. Rats are attacking and biting people, infecting them with a mysterious virus that is quickly spreading throughout the city. Clutch (the films co-writer, Nick Damici) and the residents of his run-down, Mulberry Street apartment block must stick together to survive in this indie horror thriller.

Set in Tokyo (duh), we follow the antics of protagonists Mitsuo and the afro-sporting Fujio as they escape the city from the recently reanimated dead.

Taking place after the zombie walk and zombie olympics at Frightfest; Zombie Women of Satan is the first film from male burlesque performer/actor/director Warren Speed, along with more experienced director Steve O’Brien. ZWOS is a remarkable project if for no other reason than the people responsible for writing, acting, directing or producing the film had not met each other 6 months before it’s premiere at Frightfest ’09!
