Flesh Munchin' Fun

The DVD cover is rather boring and unassuming but don't let that be a factor in whether or not you see it because this is easily the best horror/comedy of the year, not to mention one of the years best overall. The film, about domesticating zombies in a fifties style world, is simply genius and the most original I've seen in a long time. The makers expertly and evenly handle black humor, sentimentality and satire quite well without ever going overboard. Oh and there is of course a few choice splattery moments too. This is must see stuff.

Its biggest faults lie in the fact its called 'Flight of the Living Dead' and it comes on the heels of the goofy 'Snakes On A Plane'. Okay, maybe not heels but who didnt think or say, man this is another 'On A Plane' movie. I was surprised by a decent production value, better-than-average acting and fair amount of blood and violence. It might be trash but it's enjoyable trash.

Midget in the role of a incestuous son. More disturbing than it sounds.

An over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek love letter to John Carpenter and zombie movies. Lots of splattery gore and guts help make this one an instant favorite for me.

Part horror movie, part thriller and part historical film mixed with some very black humor and the American-Indian legend of the Wendigo to boot, makes for a strange but highly enjoyable cannibalistic romp through the Mid-1800's. It takes its time to get going but once it does it hardly ever lets up. Top-notch performances by Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle plus a wonderful and memorable score.

Killing people in all kind of gruesome ways is fine but I draw the line at killing animals for real thank you. With that said my rating is for the "animal-free" version on DVD.
