Hug A Zombie Movie Reviews

Comedy horror films are great.  You remember how hard you laughed when Bruce Campbell cut his hand off in Evil Dead 2?  That was amazing, right?  But that wasn't a comedy horror film, that was a horror film that happened to be really funny.  It's hard to tell sometimes.  So which is Dead and Deader?  A comedy horror film or a horror film that's funny?

Dead Men Walking is the kind of film that can only be made when artists dare to watch a zombie film and then bravely decide they can duplicate it within a 9 to 14 day time frame.

The 1980s provided the US audience with some of the most memorable police cop "buddy flicks" in cinematic history.  "Tango & Cash" or "Riggs & Murtauch" or "Turner & Hooch" or "Mortis and Bigelow".  So, you don't recognize the good cop / funny cop combo of "Mortis & Bigelow"?  You're not alone

When it comes to homemade zombie movies made with friends as actors, no budget, a few burned out shots, and no ending whatsoever, Deadlands: The Rising is the Citizen Kane of that sub-genre.

What if zombies lived amongst us?  How would their lives be?  And how would the non-zombie world feel about them?  Those are the questions behind American Zombie, a mockumentary depicting zombies trying to cope in the human world after becoming one of the undead.

I’ve often wondered if the Phantasm movies could be included in the zombie genre. Technically, the evil dwarves are reconstituted dead people, shrunken by the Tall Man and sent back to his home planet.

The fact is, Phantasm 3 has zombies. Three of them, appropriately enough. So, I’ll take that as an opportunity to talk about the entire Phantasm franchise, one of the best horror franchises ever made, if not the best.

Without question, the Zombi series has weaved a patchwork quilt of misguided sequels and aimless storytelling much of which has been heavily documented on this site.  Yet, Zombie (or Zombi) 5 (or 4) manages to accomplish something none of it's predecessors dared to do....

Dead Heist is a bad movie.  It takes a long time leading up to the inevitable, has little gore and a the ending is a complete let-down.  So why did I give Dead Heist two stars?

Big Daddy Kane.

When I was in college, I had a script-writing class where we had to submit a treatment and then a script for that treatment. I had written a solid opening 10 pages of my script when I realized that the due date was soon, so I slammed out another 40 pages to make the minimum requirement.  Now, 50 pages is not a long script, and I was lucky that the minimum wasn't a higher number, because you can't make a movie with a 50 page script and still make the 80 minutre feature length requirement. Having watched Zombie Honeymoon, I now know that you can.  It's easy, and Zombie Honeymoon shows you how.

Since I started writing for this site, I get a lot of suggestions from friends on what movies to watch, one being Black Sheep.

Only, it's not a zombie movie.
