The Undead Symphony ·

2024/07/09

Send us a Text Message.After a month hiatus for summer breaks we are back with a new intro from Zombpocalypse, and a new DVD player to play new DVDs. How exciting? Physical media!With a stack of DVDs off eBay we are back on it, and I am starting Season 7 with the 1943 classic I Walked With A Zombie, a film that has had an influence on the horror genre that cannot be overstated. While some critics have criticized the film for its stereotypical and sensationalized depiction of voodoo, others ha...

Episode 151: Zombie with a Shotgun

2024/06/12

Send us a Text Message.Ok this one is for Oliver, Oliver Gray, out there on the west cost. He mentioned we didn’t have Zombie with a Shotgun on our list. Well it wasn’t on the list of movies we’d reviewed, but it was on THE list. The Z list. Ollie is making the definitive Z-list and I look forward to him sharing it with the zombie horror community. SO we can complete a very lengthy box ticking exercise.Before that, Zombie with a Shotgun came out in 2019. It gets 3/10 on IMDB, 2.5/5 from Voice...

Episode 150: Rampant

2024/06/03

Send us a Text Message.Rampant, South Korean, 2018, one of those top 50 zombie movies that you haven’t necessarily gotten around to seeing. Like I walked with a Zombie for me. And it is set in feudal Korean, which is a rarity. It is a topic I broached with Brian at Zombpocalypse. This is a zombie movie set a long time in the past. Why is a zombie apocalypse a modern day or a futuristic phenomenon? 99.99% of zombie movies are modern day or in the near future. How would you survive a zombi...

Send us a Text Message."Little girl?"Has there been a more iconic pilot episode? Maybe Lost, but they are few and far between. The Walking Dead, 177 episodes, plus 5 spin-off shows, plus numerous computer games, and not to mention the tomes upon which the show is based. It took over people's lives, it made zombies mainstream by creating a universe on TV. This wasn't the Romero's, you didn't need to be a horror fan to enjoy this, it was more like Star Trek, where one iconic cast and show spawn...

Episode 149: Final Cut

The Undead Symphony ·

2024/05/28

Send us a Text Message.I went into this expecting to get progressively more and more angry about a 2022 French remake of the 2017 Japanese hit One Cut of the Dead. I was ready. Fists and teeth clenched. But then I watched it. And it was brilliant. Sure, it was almost a scene by scene remake of the original, but 1. it looked better and 2. it included references to the movie on which it was based.We follow a small movie production creating a live 30 minute movie in a single take for a new onlin...

Boll appears as the least convincing President of the US without the hint of a US accent, the Secretary of State is Italian, we have a very unconvincing US General from Yorkshire, and all the other US sol...

Episode 146: Night of the Animated Dead

The Undead Symphony ·

2024/05/21

Send us a Text Message.In this episode we watch, review and try to justify the existence of the 2021 Night of the Animated Dead Starring Battelstar Galactica's Katie Sackhoff and Transformers Josh Duhamel along with the West Wing's Dulé Hill as Ben and Canadian Scream Queen Katharine Isabelle as Barbara. It is a pretty poorly drawn scene by scene remake of the 1968 original with a few added elements. Personally (this is Darren typing this) I think it did add a few elements that made it worthw...

Episode 145: Zombie Dawn

The Undead Symphony ·

2024/05/19

Send us a Text Message.My weekend plans seemed so simple. I would enjoy the sun, chill out with the dog, do a few chores with the impending arrival of the parental unit coming up - they will find something in which to find fault and so I try to preempt it with some target tidying. I had loosely planned to watch the next Uwe Boll produced bag of crap Zombie Massacre but then Bloody Babble poked the bear by asking if I had ever seen this, the 2011 Chilean Zombie Dawn. Had I seen it? It was one ...

Episode 143: House of the Dead 2:Dead Aim

The Undead Symphony ·

2024/05/10

Send us a Text Message.The first movie was a double shit pizza with a stuffed crust. The crust stuffed with shit. And if you think nothing in the 2003 House of the Dead made any sense at all, despite it being a very simple premise, and losing all of the Uwe Boll insanity of the first, this the 2005 sequel is better, but it's still not great.We lose the cheesy race music, fighting action stolen from the Matrix, terrible editing where the characters were use one gun, then a different one, then ...

2024/05/08

Send us a Text Message.It could have been so good. Take a movie director, give them a computer game franchise movie and say go for it. The problem is they chose Uwe Boll a man who has spent his career making utter crap. Bloodrayne, Alone in the Dark and this House of the Dead (2003), three games turned into movies that really didn't work. Sure, computer game movies don't work, certainly not with him at the helm. He also gave us zombie movies Apocalypse Z, the diabolical Anger of the Dead...
