The Undead Symphony ·

2025/12/27

Send us a text There is a comedy zombie boxed set, you may have seen it, you may know it. On it you will find three zombie comedies, the Christmas themed Stalled from the UK, we liked that one, I survived a zombie holocaust from New Zealand starring friend of the podcast Harley Neville, and this… Me and My Mates versus the Zombie Apocalypse from Australia. The premise? During the Australian zombie apocalypse, Darryl (played by Alex Williamson) - a mid-twenties telecom tradesman - and several ...

Send us a text In this episode, the 300th anniversary we go off-topic again. After Dog Soldiers and werewolves in episode 100, Hellraiser in space aka Event Horizon for 200 we are covering The Thing universe. We read, or listen to, Cambell's 1938 source material Who Goes There? before watching the 1951 cold war classic The Thing from Another World, the seminal 1982 John Carpenter The Thing and the 2011 Mary Elizabeth Winstead prequel The Thing.

Send us a text After a surprise effort from North Macedonia we are returning to our favourite source of zombie entertainment – South Korea. A country that has delighted us for many years and 2 entries in our top 10 with train to busan and all of us are dead, if we are including tv shows. And they really get it with period shows like Kingdom, and the movie version Rampant, modern series such as Newtopia and Happiness, and mock reality shows like Zombieverse.

Or Beyond the Wasteland follows two kids who form an unbreakable bond in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. Or The world has been ravaged by a pandemic. Alone and outside the safety of the forest, Marko faces a shattered world shrouded in silence and danger. 5.8/10 on IMDB which is very good and 3/5 from the UK Film Review...

2025/12/13

Send us a text Take a really good actor, like James Remar, give him a bad script, awful CGI, terrible co-stars and some of the worst green screen I have ever seen, and you end up with a sub-par Remar. And that is what we get in Glowzies, yes, glowing zombies. And it is the sort of glowstick/predator blood glowing too. After an alien goo related incident 30 years earlier a bunch of pointless influencers come to investigate an old steel mill in a Colorado valley. They go to the local diner wher...

Episode 296: All You Need in Blood (2023)

The Undead Symphony ·

2025/12/10

Send us a text One of three DVDs in the Christmas box this year, along with Eat Brains Love and Zombie School, and all three nowhere on any list I have ever created. They were all very randomly found. After watching the Thai Zomvivor (still an awful title despite the show being awesome), I tried to find any South Korean zombie movies I hadn't seen that had good ratings and discovered Zombie School. Unavailable to download in the UK so I got a DVD from Korea. Eat Brains Love based on a novel o...

Send us a text More Thai chaos at the university as the zombies run amok. We have too many characters still and now we learn more about the evil Patron and his evil son Joe. Shall we call them Donald and Don Jnr? Lots of lying from the central family, we learn all the mom in a coma's back story and we also have the most unique element of a zombie story I have seen in a long, long ass time - zombie factions and a hierarchy. Just brilliant really. I went into this show on Netflix thinking I wou...

The Undead Symphony ·

2025/12/02

Send us a text I am loving this show. It may not be at the height of some zombie cinema, it isn't better than All of Us Are Dead, but it ain't far from it. I was skeptical after seeing over 30 pretty Thai boys and girls on the poster. And there a lot of characters. A lot of red shirts. A lot of extras to be eaten. Although, that being said, the deaths are getting more and more from the main cast now. I have to contradict the IMDB reviewer who said there was nothing new here. There actually is...

Episode 293: Zomvivor intro and part 1

The Undead Symphony ·

2025/11/30

Send us a text There are over 30 characters on the poster for this Thai Netflix effort, and none of them are zombies. That's right, it is a Bangkok university based zombie outbreak story with effectively half a dozen boy bands all vying for the attention of 3 girls - the bright top of the class Ning, the arrogant actress Lily and the morbid goth Prau. The guys all have slightly different outfits and haircuts, a la battle of the Asian boy bands however, that being said, it's alright. After one...

Send us a text A twofer from 2011 this time around with The Zombies are Coming to Town and Schoolgirl Apocalypse. Zombies are Coming to Town, which needed to be Zombie Hordes are Coming to Town so it can be sung to the tune of Santa Claus is Coming to Town, is a pretty dreadful movie in a movie, where they are making a low budget zombie movie with some of the worst acting you have even seen and even worse cinematography. I am aggrieved to call it cinematography. During the filming...

Send us a text It gets worst. Sure, we see them call the zombies sleepwalkers, or toe tags, or chompers. There was only one memorable episode in keeping with The Walking Dead universe and that the Dee/Alpha. The rest of this anthology series has been god awful. To finish off the terrible end of the seasons here we go... Episode 4 Amy/Dr Everett - Anthony Edwards plays a scientist studying the walkers in effectively a nature reserve.

Send us a text I did love the Walking Dead at the start. The first 3 to 4 seasons I binged. I have the DVD boxed sets. I lent them out. I converted people into TWDers. But then I lost interest when Negan showed up and ruined everything. I then turned to Fear the Walking Dead. Loved Nick. Hated Madison. Watched that for 3 seasons then. I lost interest. The World Beyond I gave a go when no one else I knew would. But then it was kinda done for me. I didn't bother with the Rick and Michonne show....

Send us a text Spain mostly gets it right. The REC series, four pretty good movies in isolation, even better when binged. Valley of the Dead. Nightmare City. And probably the best of them all Apocalypse Z the beginning. And then there is this. The Winter Hunger on TUBI from 2021. Absolute horse shit. Five of the most inept and unlikable characters you could ever meet (meek and mild teacher Mario who gives us an annoying voice over and too many nightmares, angry old women Sofia and Negra, less...

Episode 288: Interlopers

The Undead Symphony ·

2025/11/19

Send us a text A surprising find on TUBI. Now, before I start, let me repeat myself yet again by giving you m definition of a zombie. A zombie is someone who is no longer in control. They could, like in the movies of the 1930s to 1950s, be controlled by a voodoo priest. They are under a spell. And no longer in control. In the 60s and 70s radiation was the enemy and so it was radiation sickness warping the brain, causing them to be homicidal and no longer in control. Chemicals too. Think of Th...

2025/11/17

Send us a text Not to be confused with Zombie For Sale, this is a comedy for the most part. It stars Merry from Lord of the Rings and the Beast from the 1980s Beauty and the Beast. Not really a zombie movie. There are 4 1/2 zombies in it, a vampire, and an alien. And it tells the story of Willy and Arthur, two Victorian era grave robbers who are about to be executed. After Willy gets the chop, Dominic Monaghan's Arthur is visited by Rob Perlman's Father Duffy to take his confession. With the ...

2025/11/16

Send us a text It is described on the DVD box as one of the greatest zombie movies of all time. This is a huge exaggeration. There are 2 zombies. 2 and a half really come the end. It tells the story of 3 survivors, Ana, perky and inconsistent, dull engineer Jonathan and creepy weirdo Axel. Axel is tattooing dead flies on his entire body, with the idea that he will leave once covered. That level of weirdo. Apartment survival horror at it's worst.

Now the write ups said there was a murderous cult, WRONG! And the pair had to fight for their lives daily. WRONG! It was 16 people, 13 guys led by Call of Duty silver fox Curt, 2 prostitutes and Curts daughter rachel. The guys were all generic thug types who don’t ...
