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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
