‘Zombies Ate My Neighbors’ to Be a Movie?

| February 4, 2011

Is it just me, or did they run out of ideas on new Anti-Zombie movies to make a long time ago? I mean, Hollywood isn’t known for its originality to start with, but, geez: If you ever owned a Super Nintendo back in the day and never got a chance to play Zombies Ate My [...]

The ‘Dying Passion’ of an Indie-Movie Creator to Bash Zombies, Tell Pot Jokes

| February 3, 2011

There are a lot of truly inspired, original creators in the indie film world, so it’s a shame to hear when one of them has gone to the dark side, say, by making a stoner comedy/Anti-Zombie film with truly graphic and gruesome violence against the Differently Animated: How do you make a $2 million feature [...]

The Split Between Jovovich and ‘Hardcore’ Resident Evil Fans

| February 1, 2011

Isn’t it just tragic when the Anti-Zombie crowd can’t get along? Witness this, from a recent interview with Milla Jovovich: Was there a backlash from hardcore fans who were upset that Alice didn’t originate in the game? Oh yeah, there are, like, 15 people in the world that spend all day really hating me. Like [...]

ZRC Reviews: “Bite Me” Anti-Zombie Web Series from Machinima

| January 28, 2011

In our last update the ZRC happily reviewed a smart, well-written and directed fan take on the world of Fallout 3, which happened to be Zombie Friendly to boot (given the Fallout 3 universe that’s not hugely surprising but was still appreciated). This time we have a very different web series from Machinima entitled ‘Bite [...]

ZRC Reviews: “Fallout: Nuka Break”

| January 28, 2011

I always appreciate it when we can not just review something, but allow you, the ZRC reader, to see/read/listen/view/evaluate it in its entirety. It helps us in our never-ending quest to help you, the Zombie Ally, to familiarize yourself with the best, as well as the worst, in media about Zombies. Today’s review topic is [...]

Gale Anne Hurd, Walking Dead Producer, Sheds Light on Their Prejudice

| January 27, 2011

I found this Hollywood Reporter piece on Gale Anne Hurd and her thoughts about The Walking Dead fascinating, in a grimly offensive sort of way. Producer Gale Anne Hurd, who is billed here at NATPE as the queen of sci-fi, thinks zombies are just what’s needed to offset today’s real-life anxieties. “Given the fears in [...]

We Hate Your Work, Have a Cookie

| January 25, 2011

Sometimes, even though we strive to keep the ZRC focused on its mission and as non-partisan as possible, events in ‘conventional’ politics compel us to respond, like we did to a Republican plan here in Wisconsin to disenfranchise Zombie voters, amongst many others. Other times we’re simply inspired by the actions of other lobbying groups, [...]

ZRC Reviews: ‘The Zombie’ Short Film: Sad and Stereotyped at Same Time

| January 24, 2011

This one is short, so I kind of hesitated to give it a review, but I did review Rise of the Living Corpse, which is about forty seconds long, so I think the precedent was set months ago on the minimum length for a film to review. Vishus.com, which hosts the film, describes it this [...]

‘The Last Mailman’ and the Larger Trend of ‘Lasts’ with Zombies

| January 20, 2011

Ever wonder what The Postman would be like with less David Brin (or Kevin Costner) and more Zombies (i.e., any)? Well, wonder no longer, because “The Last Mailman: Neither Rain, Nor Sleet, Nor Zombies” by Kevin Burke mixes post-apocalyptic mail service with Zombie scaremongering: Four-year degree in business. Trained in hand-to-hand combat. Works well with [...]

On the Promise and Peril of ‘Zombie Bohemia’

| January 18, 2011

This Horror Society piece reporting from the filming of upcoming Zombie film ‘Zombie Bohemia’ is both intriguing and a bit worrisome. First, the good: Production was currently underway, and pretty much wrapping, for a new zombie mockumentary that is a mix of horror and comedy. The film is called Zombie Bohemia and is directed by [...]
