Damn, this is exciting! Back when I made my blanket statement, I was slightly confident that I wasn't overselling things. Amazingly enough, in a rare occurence, I was right.

Look at the results, kiddies. In theatres: 28 DAYS LATER, HOUSE OF THE DEAD, HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES. Currently filming or in the planning stages: DAWN OF THE DEAD, RESIDENT EVIL 2, ALONE IN THE DARK. On DVD all over the world: WILD ZERO, VERSUS, STACY, JUNK, BEYOND RE-ANIMATOR. And that's just the highlights. Whether you think this is good or bad, there's no doubt zombies are finally getting some lovin'.

In the same article, I talked about an interesting new Aussie horror film, UNDEAD. Since we reported on it last January, the film has generated some fantastic buzz.

Now, shortly after it got distribution in Australia and the UK, Lion's Gate (who also distributes CORPSES, HOUSE OF THE DEAD and ALONE IN THE DARK) has picked up the U.S. rights to this acclaimed zombie-fest. So, now everyone gets to see the zombies at play.

No news on when the release will be, but you can expect to see it in mid-2003, early 2004.

Can ya believe this... BEYOND RE-ANIMATOR played in my hometown theatre a few weeks ago which was only one of about ten screenings throughout the east coast. Unfortunately, I didn't notice it until Sunday night and it only had a midnight screening which I couldn't make it to. DAMN!

Now I'll have to wait until the DVD hits the shelves. But don't ya know how cool it would have been to see HERBERT WEST back in action on the big screen?!

Oh, and if you like Asian zombies, I do highly recommend the DVD's of VERSUS (Yakuza vs Zombies, nuff said!), JUNK (a Japanese LUCIO FULCI film), STACY (supra-cheezy but just so much fun), and WILD ZERO (make sure you're drunk before watching this one!). Also check out BIO-ZOMBIE (a Chinese RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD) too.
