Zombie diaries 2 : world of the dead 2011

Hmmm, more nonsense on a cover selling a zombie film thats pretty awful. 'the best horror movie of the year'. really fangoria? couldnt find anything on their site saying that. the film is shit by the way. crap acting (except for a 5 minute jonnie hurn cameo at the end where he prceeds to act really well in a film full of people being idiots), shit fx, stupid 'pop' gun noises, crap flashback 'story twist' bits. no script that i could detect.

you know your in trouble when the reason the zombie hordes get in your compound is because 'someone left the gate open'. come on, we deserve better than this.

BLOOD/VIOLENCE - 2/5 - some crap zombie attacks, one unexpected bit of brutality
SEX/NUDITY - 2/5 - 2 rapes, 1 of which is on a zombie who keeps her pants on
SCARES - 1/5 - ive seen scarier episodes of bagpuss

FILM - 1/5 - just plain shit, one nasty bit and 5 minutes of acting do not a good film make.

Quarantine 2 : terminal 2011

Now i really fucking hated the first quarantine, purely down to the fact that it was a pointless remake of my 3rd favourite zombie film of all time 'Rec'. Thankfully quarantine 2 is not a pointless remake of rec 2. instead it takes place at the same time as quarantine, same virus etc but on a plane, which is quite a good move on the writers part cos where you gonna run at 27000 feet. unfortunatly it only stays on the plane for about half an hour then its all in the airport terminal. but it does its job, the acting is ok, its shot quite well and it has the odd suprisingly violent death. you wont spend the rest of the day having watched it contemplating life but you might find yourself having a giggle at the notion of psycho zombie hamsters.

BLOOD/VIOLENCE - 3/5 - throat rippings, skull crushings, basic zombie violence
SEX/NUDITY - 0/5 - theres an implied blowjob
SCARES - 3/5 - its a zombie film, it has the required jumpy moments

FILM - 3/5 - worth a watch but dont expect anything special
