2025/01/27

Send us a textAnd onto resident evil extinction, part 3 of the franchise that we are working our way through. We will watch the movies, then Welcome to Racoon City the reboot and the Netflix show. But before that, this is the 3rd movie on the bounce and it admittedly my favourite, and think that is because it is no longer hamstrung by being tied to the games, and therefore has to play to the audience of gamers. It can just be a movieIt opens as the first movie does with Alice in the shower wa...

In this movie a group of American tourists unwittingly fall foul of unseen forces on a small island after witnessing a voodoo ritual. Some gore, a couple of jumps, but a lot of nonsense otherwise. Is this a zombie movie? Until the payoff. But, should I be hard on it for that? Maybe. Unhuman was also not really zombies, Summ...

I mean, acting is good, writing was good, a few decent twists, too many of TWD equivalents of the red shirts in Star Trek, nameless victims. I don't believe the writers of any of the Walking Dead shows can write for children. They are either mute, even when up to a teen, or a brat.

This had it all, a decent led character who wasn't invincible and overly macho, great writing, great acting, superb camera work, great tension. It looked and felt like it was the ...

Zombie outbreak, I am guessing the zombie outbreak from the original 2006 movie that cost £8100 to make and made £2M at the box office, and soldiers holed up at a camp. The country is going to be fire bombed scorched earth style, and they are told on the radio to get to a camp on the coast before heading to the Netherlands.Ok, plot holes and stupidity.
