After seemingly months of trying, I think this week will be the first in a long while where I actually succeed in putting out five blog posts. What a difference some (very expensive) air conditioning makes at The Rotting Zombie HQ. Onwards to the news. Freestyle Digital Media have acquired horror comedy, Tomorrow, You Pretty Ghost for an August release, on the 25th. The film tells the story of…
The Octavio Revol Molina written and directed Terror in the Andes might have a forgettable title (original title the more simple El Ucumar ), but it does deal with a cryptid (named the ucumar of course) that is believed by some to exist in the real world. Using what I assume to be true accounts of the half-man/half-bear creature and myths of it, you would think this could make for a captivating…
When I was asked if I wanted to check out an audiobook for review, it was probably good that I was given the shorter of the two choices offered. Other Atrocities is a horror collection from author William F. Grey, wonderfully performed for the audiobook version by Martin Wurst. This collection features nine short stories that play out over around a four hour runtime. As always, I have a fondness…
I don't know why, but I had high hopes for the very low budget UK indie horror - Harbinger . I didn't actually know anything about the movie, so not entirely sure why I was optimistic for great things, I even gave it the extra chance by watching it at night; a rare occurrence for me due to annoyingly not being a 'night owl'. Directed by James Crow ( Curse of the Witching Tree ), this supernatural…
I had heard there was a remake of cult classic eighties Christmas horror; Silent Night, Deadly Night , but I can't say I had been in any rush to check it out. I did enjoy the original, even if it was a bit of a strange movie, and the anti-hero protagonist was a bit of an oddball. It turns out that rather than a straight remake, this new Mike P. Nelson ( Wrong Turn ) directed and co-written version…
I let myself down with my blog output last week. That time I blamed it all on a work night out that drained my life force. This time around I have more of an excuse for not sticking up five posts, due to getting a day-less weekend and so only able to work on my blog on this Saturday (at time of typing). Not that that is related to this review of season 1 of What We Do in the Shadows . I loved the…
What a strange film the José María Cicala ( Alone ) directed and co-written horror, The Dollmaker is. At times darkly comedic, at times disturbing, and at times bafflingly confusing. Strong performances from much of the cast and a Lynchian vibe, but would it all be a bit too odd for its own good? In a remote Argentinian town, a new police inspector has arrived. Despite being assured that nothing…
Yet another week, and the hot summer is continuing with seemingly no end. The poor grass is as yellow as straw outside my home, and I am awash in fans of various shapes and sizes, keeping my rotted corpse from decomposing in this humid heat. Onwards to the news. At the start of July, indie psychological thriller, Farm House came to streaming on Amazon Prime Video , distributed by Bayview…
My intention last week was to put out a whole five days of blog posts, but the way I watched Parker Finn's ( Smile , Laura Hasn't Slept ) horror sequel Smile 2 , meant that it was late Monday evening before I got to the end credits and so couldn't write up the review until this past weekend. I really loved the idea of Smile , but the film was ruined a bit for me by the trailers which showed near…
Another month of me being lazy when it comes to this blog. Since returning to work back in May, I've really struggled to find a way to fit both day job and blog into my life equally. This week though, for sure there will actually be five posts going up! (news flash; there wasn't!) Onwards to the news. Cinema Epoch have acquired worldwide distribution rights to Vito Trabucco's giallo comedy…
