Seriously, I cannot make this stuff up: Ian McKellen, Judi Dench, Gillian Anderson, and Mark Williams are attached to star in Matthew Butler’s 18th century zombie romp, The Curse Of The Buxom Strumpet. Butler will direct and has co-written the script with Tori Hart for the feature in which the inhabitants of a small seaside [...]

It’s undeniably true: we live in a Youtube age. I mean, just look how much time the ZRC spends on media available on Youtube, or how many trailers we’ve embedded on the site hosted on the mega-behemoth video service. Likewise we have found the service an invaluable resource for hosting our own videos and short [...]

Or to be more precise, it brings the cinematic ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ there, as the novel on which it is based already did so: Vaca Films, the company behind the previously announced Welcome to Harmony, is now in development on Apocalypse Z, which is being adapted for the screen by Javier Gullon. David Alonso is set [...]

We got linked to this trailer for an upcoming Zombie Musical (yes, really!) on Twitter and it seriously blew our minds. What to think about ‘Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story’? Well, the best way I can describe it is Dr. Horrible meets Zombies. And it looks seriously Zombie Friendly! The story: After humanity quells an [...]

Not to get all religious on you or anything, so close to the alleged apocalypse, but the fifth ‘Resident Evil’ movie has just been confirmed, proving once and for all the existence of evil incarnate in the world at large, and I think it’s time for us to prepare for our doom: First, she confirms [...]

When you see that the title of an in-development Zombie movie is ‘Zombex’, your first thought might be, ‘Is this a Dead Rising thing?’ Take a second look, as I had to; the title of the Anti-Zombification drug from ‘Dead Rising 2′ is actually Zombrex, with an ‘r’, not Zombex. Oops. Did no one see [...]

White-Collar Zombies just can’t catch a break these days. First we had W.O.R.M., later incorporated into ‘III Slices of Life’, which was an unfortunately ground-breaking piece of cinema dealing, harshly and unjustly, with the topic of Zombie integration into a white-collar workforce. Previous Anti-Zombie films had largely dealt with ‘Zombies’ attacking prominent symbols of working [...]

Well, the trailer, anyway. This is pure genius:

This review marks one of the interesting conflicts I run into as the ZRC’s chief media watchdog. There are quite a few Anti-Zombie projects out there that, putting the Anti-Zombiism aside, are clearly works of talented people. ‘Night of the Living Dead’ and ‘Dawn of the Dead’ in particular show that George Romero really knows [...]

Horror Society pointed us toward this charming little indie film, very much in the style of ‘The Addams Family’ with perhaps a bit of ‘Edward Scissorhands’ and a healthy dash of Dr. Seuss thrown in: Overall, considering the sardonic and cheerful tone (again, very Addams Family) I think we can overlook the slightly antisocial behavior [...]
