Send us a text TRANSIT 17 Before I even start I know this movie is going to be bag of horse dicks. It is going to be so bad my apartment will need fumigating. After a virus infected France, Belgium and the Netherlands a team of resistance soldiers trying to safe a young girl who seems to be their last hope for a cure. 3/10 on IMDB A terrible movie, absolutely mindbogglingly bad. The plot is muddled at best, although I shouldn't say that since to be honest, there is really no plotl. It is just...

Send us a text You know when the New York Times, Variety and Salon.com say something is hilarious that you have had funnier dental work. You also know that when the New York Times, Variety and Salon.com say a very low budget zombie movie is hilarious the critic didn't write the review, that their intern did. And that their intern has shit for brains. So this movie is 2004 and tells the story of newly wedded couple Danny and Denise. First day of honeymoon down at a beach house Danny is clamber...

Send us a text A change of plan. We had that list of zombie movies on TUBI. Michael was given the reigns and I asked him which one to watch next. He said Transit 17, a French/Belgian/dutch effort. I agreed then saw the trailer and reviews and now he has had his choosing privileges revoked again. That being said TUBI has redeemed itself by offering up this, a rom zom com, and there aren’t many of this… Burying the Ex 2014 Directed by Joe Danto who gave Gremlins and Small Soldiers, both good fi...

We talk Dellamorte Dellamore, and his top 10, notable mentions and the dreaded remakes. He has yet to see Pro Wrestlers vs Zombies (how dare you!) but we forgive him enough to invite him back for a movie review episode in the future. Enjoy!

2025/06/04

Send us a text We do this from time to time, we see a movie that we need to discuss. Despite it being a B-movie set in Brighton, with annoying students, bad CGI helicopters and arguably the worst sound mix of any movie, there is enough there to like. Infected (2021) or Darkest Day (2015). It was no Pro Wrestlers v Zombies. How dare you! 4.5/10

Send us a text 3.4/10 in IMDB 20% on rotten tomatoes What did people say? A sadistic, immoral film that is utterly contemptible and repulsive. To say this is sick cinema without any redeeming elements at all is an understatement. The beginning sequence is one of the most morally offensive ever filmed. The consumption of a living child by a zombie, dining on the innocent's stomach while the child blinks his eyes uncomprehendingly, is the definition of torture porn and possibly the sickest sort...

2025/05/27

Send us a text I had been looking forward to this one, to be fair. Handling the Undead (2024) based on a novel by John Linqvist who brought us Let the Right One In, a clever and modern take on the vampire story. Scandi, arty, modern, starring Anders Lie from one of our favourites The Night Eats the World about the dead coming back. It had the right ingredients but this was not a zombie movie. It was a treatise on grief, told through three depressing, slow stories all linked to an unexplained ...

Paul W S Anderson flip flopping constantly, we have one villainous doctor in this movie, then a different one the next movie, we have number of computer game heroes this movie, and they aren't even mentioned in the next.

Episode 212: Festival of the Living Dead

The Undead Symphony ·

2025/05/06

Send us a text Festival of the Living Dead is a 2024 American zombie movie made by the Soska Sisters Jen and Sylvia. So the sisters also made American Mary, a remake of Cronenberg’s Rabid, and a few WWE funded movies. None of which I will, and none of which I have intention to see. Quite bombastically it is labelled as the spiritual successor to the game changing George A Romero 1968 night of the living dead. No one in their right mind would really link any movie, no matter how great th...
