G.O.R.E. Score: American Zombie
Original Release Date: March 28, 2008 Run Time: 90 minutes “American Zombie” is a very interesting concept of a movie – a faux-documentary that seeks to explore the plight of the zombie as a minority culture. In the realm of this movie, zombies co-exist with humans in everyday life, but their population numbers are fairly […]
G.O.R.E. Score: Planet Terror
Original Release Date: October 16, 2007 Run Time: 105 minutes I think I was born in the wrong decade. Although I grew up watching the great horror movies of the 1980s, I seem to have a special affinity for the “groovy,” rough-and-gritty feel of the 1970s horror films. Maybe I just enjoy cinematic experiences from […]
G.O.R.E. Score: Zombies: A Record of the Year of Infection
Original Release Date: October 14, 2009 Publisher: Chronicle Books I have a bone to pick with my local bookstore. They are a national chain whose name you probably know, but for the sake of anonymity, we’ll keep them nameless for now. Anyhow, my problem is this: they don’t have a Horror section. They have a […]
G.O.R.E. Score: Zombieworld: Champion of the Worms
Original Release Date: November 1, 2005 Total Number of Issues: 3 (Mini-series) Publisher: Dark Horse Comics I guess I should have learned my lesson the first time. Recently I reviewed the Dark Horse graphic novel “Living with the Dead,” which garnered a G.O.R.E. Score of 0.75 and really didn’t impress me in any facet. It […]
G.O.R.E. Score: Steve Niles Omnibus
Original Release Date: November 5, 2008 Total Number of Issues: 16 (four different mini-series) Publisher: IDW Comics Steve Niles is a great writer. He is the man who brought us 30 Days of Night and he is credited as being one of the contemporary comic book writers to really bring horror comics back into prominence. […]
G.O.R.E. Score: Undead
Original Release Date: Sept. 4, 2003 (Australia “wide” premiere); Oct. 11, 2005 (USA) Run Time: 104 minutes All right, this is kind of a lengthy analogy, but stay with me here: I liken “Undead” to the first album released by a band that releases a really amazing second album. The second album brings the band […]
G.O.R.E. Score: Dead & Breakfast
Original Release Date: March 2004 Run time: 88 minutes On the DVD cover of “Dead & Breakfast,” Harry Knowles of Ain’t It Cool News said that the movie is “the U.S. answer to ‘Shaun of the Dead.’” After reading that, I was a little concerned: “Shaun of the Dead” is an amazing film, and a […]
