Stop emailing me, I know theres a new zombie movie out!

Romero in front of 'dead reckoning'Ok, ok, ok. I appreciate the assistance, but honestly people… when my zombie making icon releases a new film after 20 years you can rest assured I will be there openning night. It’s not a matter of choice, it’s preordained.

For those that are not zombie fans, George Romero has, after a 20 year break, returned to the genre he pioneered and given us his fourth zombie movie “Land of the Dead”.

Filmed here in Toronto (those of you that were visitors here before my last ‘big crash’ will remember I had the pleasure of actually attending the set for a few hours and meeting Romero briefly), and covering new ground in the “evolution” of zombies this film takes place a few years after the events of his previous films (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead) focusing on a small enclave of survivors surrounded by the undead.

I’ll post a proper review later, but suffice to say I was far from disappointed with this film.

Thanks George!

    Hey Erik, did you know there is a new zombie flick out? It’s by some guy, I forget the name, something like Bjorn Camero. I think it’s about Italian or Greek or maybe Lybian zombies, as I think the name is “Land of the Med”. It’s about zombies, so I figured you’d want to know. OK?

    Thanks Greg!

    Damn, “Land of the Med” eh? I’ll have to check that next week, after the move. If it’s anything like “land of the dead” it’ll no doubt kick ass.

    Zombie dogs?

    Not actually zombies… but bringing a dog back to life after three hours of death with no brain damage is pretty nifty.
