George Romero's classic horror satire gets a rather more serious modern day makeover, resulting in a genuinely frightening addition to the zombie genre. The plot remains fairly true to the original, portraying a world where all the seats around Satan's dinner table have been filled, forcing the recently departed to walk the earth instead. Only this time they don't walk, see. They run. And it is this subtle change that moves this film from gory satire to an edge-of-the-futon suspense horror, as a find out more...

In this, the sequel to Night Of The Living Dead, the flesh eating zombies return. As they shuffle around a deserted shopping mall one can only but reflect on the damage supermarket muzak inflicts on the senses. Good shocker from the master of the undead, George A Romero. find out more...

Set in Johannesburg (more than a welcome change to the usual formulaic Hollywood paradigm whereby LA or New York are not only the backdrop for disaster but act too as the centre-point of planet Earth), An ominous mothership hovers above Johannesburg containing an alien race of insectoid refugees. Derogatively referred to as 'Prawns' by humans they are cordoned off in an apartheid-esque fashion and forced to live a desolate and slum-like existence in the titular District 9.

An experimental bio-weapon is released turning thousands of people into zombies and, as the multiplying horde of frenzied crazies approach, a dangerous outlaw named Wray, a sexy stripper named Cherry, an unscrupulous smuggler named Abby and the curiously incapacitated Dr Dakota Block, amongst others, must try to escape to a place untouched by the nightmare. The B-movie reinvented, "Planet Terror" is a considerably more successful attempt at homage to the American drive-in Grindhouse cinema than find out more...

Arnie is the leader of a tough bunch of professional soldiers down in Central America sorting out a little problem for Uncle Sam. An unexpected hitch is the hunter, an alien sportsman who'd like Arnie's head for his trophy wall! A great action movie - Alien meets Rambo!!! find out more...

The jury's still out on whether director Paul Verhoeven (Robocop, Total Recall, Showgirls) is a blatantly gung-ho philistine, or a supreme p**s-taker of all things American. But the fact is, this frenzied, futuristic actioner is a hit of humongous proportions. Extraterrestrial bugs have invaded Earth, so Earth has declared war on Bugland. Casper Van Dien plays square-jawed, all-American boy Johnny Rico, who leads a pack of equally meat-headed raw recruits on a mission to kick some insect-ass on find out more...

Taken from the Marvel comic characters this huge budgeted live action extravaganza focuses on the formulation of the X-Men; a group of young earth mutants with extraordinary powers who are moulded into a force for good by professor Xavier and their first life and death battle, to protect a world that fears them, against a psychotic fellow mutant, Magneto. 'X-Men' as you might expect has impressive special effects; ridiculous certainly, but if that's an issue, you've completely missed the point. find out more...
