I mean, seriously. This movie puts its Living Supremacism right there in the title. Humans vs. Zombies, which necessarily indicates that Zombies aren’t Human, and that the two are at war. Disgusting. Other than the remarkably upfront title, however, it seems like a pretty typical, violent, Zombie Apocalypse genre picture: Synopsis: Students on summer break [...]

If you’re like us, you’ve seen a lot of ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ movies, and something may have started to stand out for you as well: Most of the people we’re supposed to sympathize with in these films are complete and utter jerks. Yet, they’re not *portrayed* that way. They’re, allegedly, your heros for 90 minutes. The [...]

Fun fact: when your movie accidentally slipped into the public domain, as did George Romero’s original ‘Night of the Living Dead’, you can’t stop people from remaking it any way they see fit. Bonus fun fact: thanks to ‘Avatar’, 3D movies are here to stay, and thanks to the bizarre financial success of ‘Resident Evil: [...]

Just a quick update on non-protest matters to talk about this so-called ‘Whimsy Print’ for ‘Dawn of the Dead’, created by artist Dave Perillo: What if George Romero’s classic Dawn of the Dead was a Disney animated film? Well, luckily you don’t have to worry about that happening, but this original illustration by cartoonist Dave [...]

The video above, taking video from ‘Shaun of the Dead’ and running it in reverse alongside the ‘Dead Island’ trailer theme, helps to illustrate a point the ZRC has been trying to make in the discussion over ‘Dead Island’ on the net the last few days: the fact that the trailer is visually pretty and [...]

One of the big stories in Anti-Zombie Media that I had to pass on writing up for the ZRC due to the Solidarity we were out showing the union workers this week was the release of an astonishing, breathtakingly well animated trailer for an upcoming Anti-Zombie videogame that is making the rounds. The game is [...]

Recently, ZRC Facebook pal and conversationalist Deneen Melody linked to the official trailer for one of her upcoming projects, ‘As Night Falls’. She also warned us that the ZRC would probably not be pleased with the result, for it features violence against the Differently Animated. On the other hand she has also assured us that [...]

I heard about this campaign on Facebook, and at first, while I thought it was indeed an awesome idea to build a statue to RoboCop in Detroit, I didn’t know if it had anything to do with The Zombie Rights Campaign. And then it hit me: RoboCop died, and came back as a cyborg sworn [...]

Anchor Bay has long been no friend to the Zombie Community, releasing a slew of Anti-Zombie films onto DVD, including ‘classics’ like ‘Day of the Dead’ and ‘Evil Dead’, and modern atrocities like The Walking Dead (which they’ll be putting out on disc soon). Therefore it wasn’t a huge shock to hear that they’d picked [...]
