Cockneys vs. Zombies is a great time. So much about this movie works it makes you wonder why they aren’t doing more than one or two zom-coms a year.

Three episodes in and The Strain is turning out to be fairly decent. The show is a slow burn, building characters, establishing plot points, setting all the pieces in their proper place.
Guillermo Del Toro so far is proving that sometimes the film is better than the book.

OK this is just wrong.
Here is an equation review of Zombie Night:
(still with me????) then…

or
Confusing? Yep.
Q: Was it that bad?
A: Yeah, it was.
Q: But there are so many actors in it, how can it be that bad?
A: When you spend all your money on name recognition and little on the screenplay. Well, eh.
Q: John Gulager directed this? Name sounds familiar…
A: Directed Feast on the last season of Project Greenlight. Feast is a much much better movie.
Q: Was the writing really that bad?
A: Let me put it this way…
@FANGORIA Mom let’s try this again, but if you lose your head again next time your directing and I’m playing the serial killer. #Fangoria

Ahhhhh… extensive nudity, disturbing imagery, and a near lack of exposition make Under the Skin is one helluva interesting film.
Read any review on any website and it becomes clear that either people love or hate the film. Not a lot of middle ground exists on this one and that’s not surprising given the style and execution.
Note: I feel compelled to address anyone who is only interested in seeing Scarlett Johansson fully nude (because you totally do!). Find the pictures or gifs online, don’t waste time watching the whole movie. If all you’re after is quick thrill the story/theme/concept will pass right by you, then you’ll feel compelled to write a shitty review based on nothing and who wants to read that.
I digress. Movie review. Focus… Ok, the movie is…
In a word… disturbing. More disturbing than this one. The film is disturbing for several reasons. First, the idea is altogether creepy if you’re a guy who likes to cruise bars and pick up women. Second, there is a scene on a beach that is nearly unwatchable if you have small kids and/or a dog. It’s necessary to the theme and it works. Oh god does it work. Just be warned.
The scenes in the van were shot with hidden cam, the men being picked up aren’t actors. I know crazy right, but it makes the scenes more believable. Here’s a good analysis if you’re so inclined.
The cinematography is amazing, and relevant so pay attention.
Predator vs Prey. Humanity. Empathy. Stuff like that.
Please see my note above.
It’s a well made film that is very thought provoking. You’ll either get it or you won’t, but either way I don’t see this being re-watched on a regular basis.
I wouldn’t, and I generally don’t have an issue with kids watching most horror movies. I started with Dawn of the Dead at six years old and I turned out o.k. I think. No, this movie not only has a lot of nudity but some of the scenes are very disturbing, and very realistic. Keep the kids away.
