Episode 289: The Winter Hunger (2021)

The Undead Symphony ·

2025/11/20

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...

Episode 287: I Sell the Dead

The Undead Symphony ·

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 ...

Episode 286: What's Left of Us (El Desierto)

The Undead Symphony ·

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. The picked a one bedroom shack with a fly probl...

Episode 283: Decade of the Dead (2023)

The Undead Symphony ·

2025/11/02

Send us a text OK so to recap – DEAD SEASON 2012, we had Elvis and TWEETER meeting up during the zombie apocalypse and arriving on the small Caribbean island of DE SANTOS or something along those lines, getting a boat from florida. 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 ...

Send us a text And so… onto this, a zombie movie, another new offering from Amazon, Dead Season… well when I say new it is 2012, but I haven’t see it on offer before. And it has a sequel Decade of the Dead which has a very similar plot and Tweeter. appears in both 4.6/10 on IMDB which isn’t awful. On Amazon the description is… during a zombie outbreak, two strangers find themselves stranded on a remote island with an aggressive cult. or Elvis and Tweeter escape a zombie catastrophe and land o...

Now, you may think that Indonesia would become country #40 for us, but no, we have seen an Indonesian zombie movie already in Zeta, The Dead Awaken which was okay to be fair.

2025/10/23

Send us a text The better half of the series if you ask me and we are back with Young-Joo and a chainsaw working her way through subterranean Seoul, as Jae-Yoon and his squad mates descend the tower. I actually really liked how she was out and about and then trying to get across the city, juxtaposed with him just trying to get out of his building from the roof to the street. There are some great kills, a lot of dramatic sequences and scenes that would fit in any Korean zombie drama, and...

Episode 278: Newtopia (parts 1 to 4)

The Undead Symphony ·

2025/10/21

Send us a text We do love Korean zombies. Train to Busan should be in everyone's top 10, All of Us Are Dead is probably per minute the most intense zombie TV show ever made. Then we get Peninsula, Kingdom, Zombieverse and Happiness and this, Newtopia. 2025, on Amazon, telling the story of a young couple Young-Joo and Jae-Yoon, an office girl and a soldier as the zombie apocalypse takes hold of Seoul. It is very entertaining, 8 parts, just under an hour per episode, however, In Ho is far far t...

Episode 277: The Video Dead (1987)

The Undead Symphony ·

2025/10/20

Send us a text Simple premise. A cursed TV that shows only one movie, the very 1970s style Romero-eque Zombie Blood Nightmare is in fact a portal. A very 1980s plot device. the zombies from the movie come out of it and rampage a rural community, including TEMU Eric Stoltz Rocky Duvall as Jeff, his sister Zoe and their neighbour April. The acting is awful, there are some cliche elements such as disposing of a hand in the garbage disposal, 1980s lightning indoors effects and a lot of dry ...

The Undead Symphony ·

2025/10/16

Send us a text Despite Richard Roxburgh, Lily Sullivan and Callan Mulvany, the beautiful New Zealand landscape and, at times, very Lord of the Rings, music, this was annoying… slow, obvious and ultimately unoriginal and disappointing… I have seen all the elements of this movie before in one form or another. An antipodean western, I guessed how people died, we have no real explanation why Mulvaney was such a dick. It was just pretty, but slow and dull. We had a child infected, then...

Episode 275: Contracted: Phase 2

2025/10/13

Send us a text Contracted has always been on the Z list, but I have been avoiding it as body horror isn’t really my thing. But given we are ploughing through 2025 at a rate of knots I thought I would watch both contracted and the sequel. Looking on amazon I could only find the sequel and part one was no longer on TUBI so, SOL I decided to watch the sequel first, with the idea of getting to the original at some point. In part two the story follows the story of Samantha who suffers from a myste...

Send us a text In a post-apocalyptic wasteland a group of scientists are rescued by a military ops team so they can fight zombies for control of the planet. Sounds shit. I'm in. 1.9/10 on IMDB now that is something, this could be a challenger to bottom of the barrel. From an IMDB review - Everything is poor in this movie: story, screenplay, dialogs, direction, performances, lighting, special effects, camera, fighting choreography, location and sets, nothing works.

In this episode, I want to start by talking about the Neighbours Halloween special, Neighbours versus Zombies, 5 episodes of 6 minutes or so, equating to a normal half an hour episode of the popular Australian soap opera. And this was Michael’s recommendation. It was entertaining, they didn’t ham it up,...
