<strong>Title:</strong> Undead<br/>
<strong>Year:</strong> 2005<br/>
<strong>Director:</strong> Peter Spierig, Michael Spierig<br/>
<strong>Plot:</strong> When deadly meteorites start striking the calm, peaceful community of Berkeley, Australia, a ragtag group of strangers fight for their lives against a hoard of red-blooded zombies that have mysteriously infected the residents. Headed by the town's ex-beauty queen Rene (Felicity Mason) and the village kook, Marion (Mungo McKay), the clan of survivors battle their way through farmhouses, bomb shelters, and back roads until they are faced with a much bigger problem than just the gut-munchers on their trail. The debut feature of writer/directors Michael and Peter Spierig, the film was two and a half years in the making, echoing other no-budget splatter epics like <a href="/players/P____95689/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Peter Jackson</a>'s <a href=/films/2201/default.aspx style='text-decoration:underline'>Bad Taste</a> and other similarly themed sci-fi horror romps. It went on to garner accolades from the Melbourne International Film Festival and the Catalonian International Film Festival, Sitges, Spain, among others. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Oh Gor, I was just thinking about that movie today.  I love the Joan Collins/Santa story, it is one of my favorites.  Well, I had to watch both versions of the old and new Black Christmas.  I also saw a movie called Christmas Evil...the reason why this guy went crazy was really stupid, but it actually had some cute scenes that I liked.  I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but it was fun. So, I also had to watch the 1951 version of Scrooge - I LOVE this movie with Alastair Sim, it is so eerie - Jacob Marley in this version is very scary.  I loved watching this when I was about 5 or 6 years old.  So I have got to buy the old Tales from the Crypt movie too, just so I have a well rounded assortment of Christmas axe murders, etc...  [quote user="Dr_Gor"] [quote user="divinemsjunebug"] Hey Gor, speaking of the subject matter, have you seen the movie the Undead yet?  I think you would really like it.  [/quote]    I actually have a DVD copy of that one but I haven't seen it yet!   I have yet to replace my broken DVD player!  I am waiting for the "after-Christmas" sales...   Luckilly I still have my trusty VHS player and a fairly huge library of VHS tapes.   Tonight, on Christmas eve, I watched  Tales from the Crypt (1972) and I thoroughly enjoyed it!   I think I will make this a regular Christmas tradition!                                                                                   &lt; GOR &gt;  [/quote]<br/>

      <title>Spout Post: Zombie Girl: The Movie Review, Fantastic Fest 2008</title>

<strong>Body:</strong> 
Most 12 year old kids are busy updating their MySpace pages or planning on what they’ll wear to school the next day, but not Emily Hagins. She decided to direct her own feature film about zombies entitled Pathogen after watching a screening of Undead, and Zombie Girl: The Movie is documentary that chronicles her effort from concept to the first screening. Emily’s a local gal, so this movie was a shoe-in for this year’s Fantastic Fest.
Filmmakers Aaron Marshall, Eric Mauck and Justin Johnson stumbled across Emily and her movie when they saw a local ad looking for people who wanted to be zombies in a movie, and when they found out how old Emily was, they decided to do a documentary about the film, which turned into 146 hours of footage that had to be broken down into a digestible size.

Emily’s a normal enough girl who just happens to be obsessed with movies, which you learn when you see her bedroom: it’s plastered floor to ceiling with movie posters. She doesn’t have a particular love for all things zombie-related, she just had an idea in her head after a screening at the Alamo Drafthouse. Given her love for The Lord of the Rings (both Emily and her mom have seen the films multiple times, and they even dress in costume), it’s a wonder she didn’t make a swords and sorcery story her first movie.
In the opening scene, Emily’s attempting to direct a scene in an office, where lab-coated extras are delivering a line about viability of a test specimen. The scene plays out and Emily forgets to yet “cut!” In another scene she’s fumbling with the clapper in one hand, and her video camera in the other. After she claps it shut she hands it to one of the actors, who says “Wait, why am I holding this?” These moments aren’t just showing us a novice filmmaker at work, they’re showing us a young girl who isn’t sure what she’s doing… she just knows that she wants to do it.
At one dramatic turn in the film, Emily’s borderline stagemom Megan takes over, and there’s a brief moment where you aren’t sure if this is her movie or Emily’s. Is she just using it to make Emily famous? Is she living vicariously through her daughter? Or does she honestly just want to help her pursue her dreams? It’s probably a combination of all of these, and suffice it say that Emily’s final film wouldn’t have been possible without her help.
She has a lot of drive, and while she might not be Spielberg yet, she knows enough about film to know she wants in a shot, and when her mom tries to interject to say “Well, do it this way,” Emily will say “Yeah, but that’s not how I want to do it.” Or in the case when her protective father tells her to film a certain scene on the sidewalk, and Emily retorts with “Zombies don’t walk on the sidewalk!” Hooray for the undead with no rules! These are the same zombies who later put fake blood all over the interior of a grocery store, which doesn’t exactly endear the project to the owners.
The only real fallacy in the film comes from the documentary filmmakers themselves. They miss some crucial moments, like finding out how Emily eventually completed the editing (she went from Apple’s iMovie to Final Cut), and in getting a reaction from the audience after the premiere at the Alamo Drafthouse, the spot of her earlier inspiration for the movie. There are some all too cutesy interstitial images in the film separating it into chapters, and these feature freshly butchered stuffed animals dripping with blood. I would have preferred to see some of the missing scenes rather than a clever interstitial.
While the Austin American-Statesman compares the film to Hearts of Darkness, the documentary about the making of Apocalypse Now,  that’s a huge stretch. Emily’s film didn’t drive anyone to the brink of madness, especially since her mother and father are both in on it with her to some extent. But Emily’s tenacious desire to finish this film, along with her natural charisma make this movie charming and you definitely want to see her succeed in the end. On the flipside, after watching Hearts, I just wanted to see Francis Ford Coppola get some therapy. She’s already hard at work on her next movie, titled The Retelling, which is a ghost story set in Texas. Does this mean Ghost Girl: The Movie is going to make an appearance on the documentary circuit next year? Originally posted on:SpoutBlog<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Now I have to admit, I always love happy endings, I want all the evil to either be resolved at the end, or at least all the characters that I love to live at the end.  But even though the Ring was a little unsettling, it was so cool and exciting to see her crawl out of the TV.Of course most of my favorite zombie movies always have endings that I just put my head down and say OH NO...but I have come to expect endings like that so it doesn&#39;t bother me.  If you have seen the movie UNDEAD (I won&#39;t give anything away because a lot of people have not seen this very cool Australian movie) but it has an ending that is not a happy ending but you think there is some hope anyway.   I could go on and on and on and on.  There are some endings that I get really ticked off at and some that I am ticked off at when I first see it but the more I think about it, I think it&#39;s a very cool ending.  An example of that is the Descent.  At first I was sooooooo upset, but then I thought well, at least when it happened to her she was in a good place in her head...<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong>    I find it quite fascinating that  Return Of The Living Dead  made it onto three of the lists above!   (including my own!)   What, exactly, is it about this movie that makes it so compelling?   It is, obviously, more comedy than horror...  in fact it is a parody of all the zombie movies to come before.   It is (loosely) based on the  NOTLD  mythology, but quite ground-breaking in some respects.   The fast-moving, agile zombies  (WAY before 28 Days Later!)  and the zombies ability to speak!  ("BRAINS!")  I&#39;ve always had a bit of a problem with that last one because I know that you need to have at least three functional organs (4 counting a funtional mouth) to accomplish this including lungs, vocal-chords and a tongue...   somebody correct me if I&#39;m wrong...  but most of the zombies I have ever seen, in THIS movie in particular, were obviously missing some, or all, of those particular organs.   I don&#39;t know...  if I had been in a more serious horror mood when I made my list, I could easily have replaced this movie with  Frankenstein  or  The Haunting  or  The Legend Of Hell House  or  Halloween ...   I guess it is because  Return...  is so much darn FUN!   Any Monty Python fans here?   You might know what I&#39;m talking about...   Some movies are just fun to watch!                                                           &lt;  GOR  &gt;<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> I gotta catch this one again, but overall I just didn&#39;t get too into the story...in fact, it had a sci-fi aspect that I really did not care for at all.That being said...why do I want to see this again?  Ok, it had some really good gore.  I hate giving it 2 stars because some of the scenes were rather good and over the top fun.  (Others have mentioned the airplane scene and I have to agree...it was fabulous.)  Also, I really zoned out towards the end (not because of the film) and I can&#39;t stand it missing even a few minutes of anything.  <br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> I was watching the movie Undead again, there are several really good "eeeeek" scenes in that movie.  But there is this one scene involving a plane and a lot of floating people which is so cool...I also love it throughout the movie because you have NO IDEA what is really going on until it gets toward the end of the movie, which is very cool...<br/>
