We, your humble staffers from The Zombie Rights Campaign, embarked on a bold adventure yesterday into the very heart of Chicago to witness a stirring outing and show of solidarity amongst the Chicago-area Undead community and their allies. You know, by going to the Chicago Zombie March. It was a great event, and I have [...]

Not a lot to say about it now, though I suspect we’ll pick up a copy to review soon. Though it sounds.. err.. original: With questions about its true satire unanswered, Lollipop Chainsaw still has the makings of a perfectly enjoyable action game. Juliet isn’t limited to chainsawing enemies apart with perky abandon; she’s also [...]

We had a very good-and-mind-opening time at ‘Nightmare on Chicago Street’ last year, and a second annual installment of the Elgin, IL Halloween event has just been announced. The ZRC is almost sure to attend. However, I can’t say we’re entirely happy with the promotional material so far: We’re going to be EXCEPTIONALLY charitable here [...]

Summary: Dark, twisted, gory and unrepentent, ‘A Cadaver Christmas’ is like a modern, drunken, somewhat overlong ‘Evil Dead’ set at a Community college. Zombies are very badly mistreated. Rated Living Supremacist. There are a lot of different kinds of Anti-Zombie movie (unfortunately). You have your Romero-esque social commentaries, your ‘Shaun of the Dead’-ish black comedies, [...]

Yet another film review from our recent trip to Chicago Fear Fest! Summary: ‘Dead Weight’ strikes a new and devious blow for Anti-Zombie films – it manages to marginalize the Zombies from the, ahem, ‘Zombie Apocalypse’! Rating: Full review behind the cut.

The ZRC tried to be optimistic about this film. After all, right in the title it claims to love Zombies! Love! That’s good, right? Friendly? Tolerant? Wrong. Oh-so-wrong. Because unfortunately, tragically, this film ‘loves’ Zombies in a very perverse, yet common way. They love to HURT Zombies. This is actually a very common misuse of [...]

Readers of the blog might be wondering by this point whether there were any Zombie movies at Chicago Fear Fest that we actually liked. It’s true, I admit; the ZRC can be hard to please, and our standards may be a tad exacting. But look no further, for today we’re reviewing ‘Zombie Bohemia’, which truly [...]

Well, we’ve had a day to decompress from the astoundingly Zombie movie packed inaugural Chicago Fear Fest and have a lot to report to you, the loyal Zombie Friendly readers out there. CFF sets a record for the ZRC, actually; we saw seven separate Zombie-related films for the first time at Chicago Fear Fest. The [...]
