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

Certification18 Our Rating
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.

DAY OF THE DEAD (1986)
Certification18 Our Rating
The third part of Romero's zombie triology. A bigger budget than the other two and featuring state of the art zombies. A small bunch of survivors are holed up in a bunker with their hopes resting on a small group of scientists experimenting on the zombies. Tense rather than terrifying, and with a black comic undercurrent, it rests on the bleak observation that, zombies or no zombies, chances are that we, the living, will tear each other apart. Not for the faint hearted.

Shaun is a man about to get very familiar with his thirties and he's not pleased, a crap dead end job, a social life that revolves in its entirety around his local, a girlfriend, who's beginning to realise he's as tragic as he knows he is, and a best mate who's the only person in his insular universe who, comparatively, makes him look like he's got his act sorted. What Shaun needs is an outbreak of flesh eating zombies to get his priorities in perspective and, as a luck would have it, his neck o

SLITHER (2006)
Certification15 Our Rating
A slimy businessman turns into a gross food-binging fat piece of mutant tentacled squid when he is infested with a sluglike creature that fell from outer space. Henceforth slugs spew forth and turn into zombies all that they catch. This is an hilarious bit of fun, a great tribute to 50s sci fi movies, Cronenberg's Shivers, 80s gross-out movies and zombie flicks generally. Watch and enjoy.
