You know things are about to get SERIOUS when you're handed a ‘barf bag' walking into a cinema. That was the scene that greeted multiplex patrons in 1979 when Lucio Fulci's Zombie was finally edited enough to get a western release. Coke, popcorn and a barf bag - lovely. The Hills Have Eyes is just as infamous, directed by Wes Craven, it was so badass the people that hand out film ratings slapped an X on it - no mean feat for a horror film.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is one of those books everyone pretends to read. According to the Wikipedia summary it's all about some sisters trying to get married off. And there are five of them. And they all have different personalities and, dunno, some stuff happens... The point is; it's all very twee and not at all exciting.

This is not the absurd prequel to 2004's low budget zomcom-with-heart Zombie Honeymoon. And it has little to do with those weddings at which you daydream about wrenching off your arm just to have something to throw at the newlyweds. Well, okay, it's something along those lines but it's more a um, call to arms.

The Walking Dead
Here's something that annoys me about interesting stuff: as soon as it gets juicy, it's all over. This truth I apply across the board to relationships, independent publishing, acne, everything. But especially to zombie movies. So many questions are still left unanswered in this, the greatest of genres.

Heed the lessons learned over the three decades of Romero's oeuvre: By the time the first news report goes to air, the walking dead are among you. It is best not to get in the car and "just drive". Toilets don't work in furniture display windows at the mall. These types of things.
