Night Of The Living Dorks

Posted January 29, 2009 at 4:39 pm by Jeff

This Germany film called Die Nacht der lebenden Loser or translated Night Of The Living Dorks. This film is so funny. Its actually a parady of Zombie films. Its great. Its not the best movie and I really wouldn’t even give it more than 2 stars for a horror film its still pretty entertaining.

Three school friends Phillip (Tino Mewes), Wurst (Manuel Cortez), and Konrad (Thomas Schmieder) are the nerds of the school. They are picked on and don’t have any social skills. Phillip desires the beautiful Uschi (Nadine Germann).  Wurst is Phillips pot smoking friend. Konrad lists all his humilation in a book.  When phillips neighbor Rebecca  (Collien Fernades) performs voodoo phillip and his friends think its a joke. When they have a fatal accident they realise it wasn’t a joke. They are all zombies and they must figure out how to become human again before its too late.

I really did enjoy the movie as a comedy. Its worth watching with you and a few friends.

Otis

Posted January 29, 2009 at 1:10 pm by Jeff

This 2008 movie is a dark comedy horror flick all the way. I thought it was a pretty funny movie with a lot of odd circumstances. A typical family with odd but normal problems none the less. The movie starts as the lead character Riley Lawson (Ashley Johnson) meets the pizza delivery guy Otis (Bostin Christopher). Otis who is also a serial killer decides this is the girl who wants to kidnap after he accidentally killed the last girl.

Otis kidnaps Riley on her way to school one day. The movie follows her family along as they work with the fbi to try to save their daughters lives. They eventuall take it into their own hands. The movie has some dark moments and some funny moments. Overall this movie is a decent watch. Below isn’t a trailer like normal for each film i talk about but its a clip from the movie. Enjoy

I give it a 3/5 stars.

Lost Signal aka Dead Of Winter

Posted January 29, 2009 at 10:38 am by Jeff

I thought this movie would be great to watch since I was trapped inside my house by an Ice storm.

It took me forever to realize this movie was called Lost Signal. The usa title is Dead of Winter. Directed by Brian McNamara this movie is a psychological thriller. Normally lower budget movies like these don’t give me an errie feeling but this one did. Its been called a modern day shining in a nicer or meaner way by some people on the IMDB. I would have to disagree while not the best movie its pretty entertaining.

The movie takes place New Years Eve.  Kevin Healy (Al Santos) and Tiffany Matthews (Sandra McCoy)  decide to celebrate the new year by trying L.S.D. That leads to a night of eerie circumstances. They must brave the elements and face their inner demons to survive the deep ice covered forest.

Overall I would give this movie a 4 out of 5 stars. Its not the best movie ever but its great to watch on a night when your also stuck inside my an ice storm.

Mirrors

Posted January 25, 2009 at 5:10 pm by Jeff

Mirrors is awesome. I took me several tries before I actually could finish it but honestly this movie is great.

In New York, the former NYPD detective Ben Carson is hired to work as night watch of the remains of the Mayflower Department Store that was partially destroyed by fire many years ago. Ben became alcoholic and was retired from the police force after killing a man in a shooting. His marriage was also destroyed and now he is living in the apartment of his younger sister Angie. However he has not been drinking for three months and sees the employment as a chance to rebuild his life. When he goes to the rounds in his first night, he finds that the mirrors are impeccably clean and his colleague explains that the former night watch was obsessed by the mirrors. After a couple of nights, Ben sees weird images in the mirrors, but due to the lack of credibility of his past, his ex-wife Amy believes he has hallucinations as a side effect of his medication. When Angie is found brutally murdered in her bathtub, Ben discovers that there is an evil force in the mirror that is chasing him and jeopardizing his family. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

This movie is one of the scariest movies i’ve seen in a while. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good scare. Its not a perfect movie but the normal problem for these high budget horror films doesn’t appear to be a problem for this one. The story is great and the acting is superb.

I give this one 4/5 stars.

Fido

Posted January 14, 2009 at 10:42 pm by Jeff

Fido was directed by Andew Currie and was released in march of 07. As soon as this movie started I knew i would love it. If you love zombie movies this movie is for you. The whole concept of this movie is so twisted. Head coffins, Zombie slaves, ZoCom. Timmy Robinson isn’t a popular kid. He is picked on by two bullies. His father has already purchased life insurance on him because he feels little timmy will be picked off before he is too old. 

The Robinson family buys a zombie and it becomes timmys best friend after the zombie, Fido, saves timmy from the two bullies. A string of events unfold that are both comical and well mostly comical that start with Fido eating the mean, rude, old woman Mrs. Henderson. From the devices that keep zombies at bay to the dark but comical humor this movie is perfect for any zombie fanboy. I give this movie a 5/5.

The Clown Is Waiting…. Again

Posted January 14, 2009 at 10:19 pm by Jeff

A few months back I posted a short film title The Clown Is Waiting. I have some brand new information regarding this short film and a new short film from the directors of this film.

Ed, who was a huge part of this movie was kind enough to provide us with this information. “The horror short of ours that you posted was made with the kind assistance of the effects team that worked on Wolf Creek. We even borrowed a dead body from that film. If you look at the cellar scene at the end of Can I Call You you will see a corpse chained to the wall. That is the very same one as seen near the end of Wolf Creek.
We are currently back onto working on Gone Missing. It’s based on a frightening cat like creature that is reported to be lurking in the Australian wilderness. The remains of its horrific livestock kills have been found dangling from trees. Gone Missing will be like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets An American Werewolf in London.   The effects team that did Wolf Creek have already begun their special work in preparation.

Fido and Unborn

Posted January 4, 2009 at 9:30 pm by Jeff

I know its odd to have both of these movie titles in the same post but here is what i wanted to say. I watched Fido for the first time today and I loved it. I think its an amazing idea for a zombie movie and I can’t believe it has taken me this long to watch it.

Secondly, Unborn from what I have heard from everyone is going to be amazing. I will be posting some trailers from this movie tomorrow as well as a full review of Fido. 

As for the top movies of 08 I simply did not get to post these. I figure we’ll leave it at that and start fresh in 09. Hopefully we’ll have some amazing things this year. Subscribe to our rss if you haven’t and be ready for the latest news and scares from For The Dead Travel Fast.
