And he did the soundtrack… another one of those Steph described this as another from the bargain bin 2/10… which is a really bad sign… The blurb is that In the near future, the world falls victim to a plague of violent carnivorous undead humans, and a black-ops elite team of soldi...

Before the Resident Evil series Paul WS Anderson actually made decent movies, starting with Shopping starring Jude Law he went onto making the popular first Mortal Kombat, the one with Christopher Lambert as Raiden. And then came this, 1997, and it was, as Darren describes it "Hellraiser in Space." ...

John Saxon, a man with a stalwart wig that managed to endure movies with Bruce Lee and Freddy Kreuger. Came from nowhere really. I don’t know what prompted me to find it. But find it I did.

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.
