Quite possibly the cutest zombie film ever, “Zombie Blues” is a short made by 2nd and 3rd graders at PS 48Q in Jamaica, New York, for the 2011 Urban Arts Festival. It’s the story of a sad, lonely zombie who walks the earth — and even the moon — to find a friend. Needless to [...]
Everybody’s afraid of zombies… But try to imagine your self waking up from the dead… How would you feel? In a Québec town, a beloved clown (buried in full costume) is awakened from death by a Mentos-based chemical reaction. And so begins the journey of Patrick Biovin’s “Le Queloune” (The Clown). The unlikely protagonist is [...]
Set in zombie-swarmed Miami, “The Zombie Years: Thanks Grandpa” is a prequel to Juan Navarro’s comic The Zombie Years, an ongoing serial that follows a small band of Cuban-American survivors of the apocalypse. Central to the group is Del, a badass young woman with a scar across her face, about whom little is known. The [...]
In “Dawn of the Dead,” the zombie horde was drawn to a shopping mall. In “Gun Barista,” the 2010 short zombie comedy from Australia’s Highly Caffeinated Productions, the undead skip the mall and head straight to the coffee shop. Clever and funny, the film should resonate with caffeine addicts (and coffee snobs) everywhere. Winner of [...]

And, at first glance, it’s darkly humorous to see a zombie wearing a penguin suit, the trappings of his “before” job as an aquarium employee. In fact, Penguin Suit is a sad, beautifully made story about an [...]
When the zombie apocalypse hits, what will be your weapon of choice? A baseball bat? A rifle? Or will it be… your smart phone? Joe Nicolosi’s short film (very short, clocking in at under four minutes) *#Zombies: Followers of the Dead* explores Twitter as a vital tool for zombie survivalism through a series of improvised [...]
TOXIC LULLABY starts quite curiously, with a woman travelling with a couple guys across the countryside (why she’s doing this, we don’t know). She goes in and out of consciousness, having realistic dreams of a post-apocalyptic world. The second time she does this, she stays in that world, and the movie basically forms itself into [...]
NINJA ZOMBIES (directed by Noah Cooper — not to be confused with NINJAS VS. ZOMBIES) is a great little zom-com about friendship, with a healthy dose of ninja zombies thrown in. It’s pretty Kevin Smithian, but with worse acting, less clever dialogue (it tries though), and, well, geekier, if you can believe that. Our main [...]
The Dead (2010) Review If you could pick the absolute worst place to crash land during a zombie uprising, where would you pick? If you chose “The African Savannah”, then you know the situation that Lt. Brian Murphy (Rob Freeman), a military engineer finds himself in; stranded in an isolated African country as the Dead [...]
