We love to review music here on the ZRC blog; if nothing else it’s a nice change of pace. So I wish I had better news to relate about the video for Patent Pending’s song ‘Dance Till We Die’, but.. we don’t. In fact, the video does a great disservice by spreading not just conventional [...]

There doesn’t seem to be a ton of information about new band ‘Love Automatic‘ on the intertubes yet, but they have a video out now that is making its way around the horror scene: The ultimate experience in clay stop-motion animated grueling terror. Ghosts, spooks, undead zombies, ghouls, sexy lady and not to mention a [...]

Martial-arts used against the Undead has some precedent in the indie film world, for example, ‘God of Vampires’ made the film circuit a few years ago (we caught it at The Dark Carnival), and it was certainly a labor of love, mixing action movie kung-fu with Chinese vampires, though it wasn’t at all friendly to [...]

Seriously; it’s just as the post title says. A female police officer, allegedly doing counter-terror work, plods flat-footedly around a ship shooting unarmed Differently Animated civilians in the back: Never once in this gameplay trailer do the Differently Animated show the least sign of hostility; it’s police brutality, plain and simple. Outrageous! What’s next, rounding [...]

‘Resident Evil’ has been around for a long time now, and for some reason the series continues to sell very well year after year, despite having characters with all the depth of a birdbath and all the appeal of a rancid ham sandwich. Upcoming offense against reason ‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ shows that the more things [...]

I know there’s a considerable audience for professional wrestling and its less-stage managed counterparts in the world of mixed martial arts and boxing, and on the whole, although I’m not particularly a fan of any of it, the ZRC doesn’t have an issue with consenting adults beating on each other to entertain their audience. However, [...]

Youtube is rapidly becoming a revolutionary platform for distributing independent movies; we recently reviewed (and loved) Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story here on the ZRC blog, and it’s up for free viewing on Youtube for a limited time, for example. That is a finely acted and directed, Zombie Friendly musical experience. Then, however, there are [...]

Europe has gone absolutely nuts with the Zombie bashing! Here’s yet ANOTHER European film that bashes the Differently Animated coming out, this time from Scotland: Attack of the Herbals” is a “Evil Dead”/”Shaun of the Dead” style horror comedy, independently produced and shot in the North East of Scotland. Jackson McGregor returns to the tiny [...]

Sometimes I sincerely wonder if the universe is alive, malignant, and focused on thwarting both good taste and the advance of Zombie Friendly media. When someone essentially reboots the plot of ‘Plan 9 from Outer Space’ as a modern day indie film, you have to wonder if the world is out to get us: A [...]

Since I know that some people appreciate these updates about the wildlife of the ZRC Compound, here’s another one. As the backyard is allowed to revert to a state with more wildflowers and less grass (and I keep the dandelions under control with trimming) the rabbits in the area are spending more and more time [...]
