Doomsday: Total Nonsense -- But Awesome!
There are Serbian dog-food commercials that would have made more sense to me than Doomsday, the quarantined-country-reverts-to-barbarism epic that opens today. It starts out as an engaging action-horror blend with a nice touch of future dystopia (and huge servings of gore), and then slowly unravels until the ending is basically pure Dada. We just saw it. Click through for the whole brain-shredding carnage [spoilers ahead]. More »
Nobody Can Foresee Doomsday
We may have absolute certainty, in every fibre of our souls, that Friday's Mad-Max-in-quarantined-Scotland movie Doomsday is an instant classic in the making. Sadly, Rogue Pictures, which is releasing the film, doesn't seem to agree with us. We just got final confirmation that Doomsday will not be screened for critics. We'll see it, and review it, as soon as we can on Friday.

Doomsday's Neil Marshall Explains Apocalypses Without Monsters
The Descent was one of our favorite horror movies of recent years, so we were automatically excited about director Neil Marshall's new movie, Doomsday. And that was before we found out Doomsday was going to be Mad to the Max. In Doomsday, the government walls off Scotland to contain a deadly plague... only to send a team into the shattered country 30 years later. We talked to Marshall about strong women, genre confusion, and why Doomsday has no monsters. More »

Exploding Mohawks Are Back, Baby!
Motorcycles and trucks will be spinning and bursting into flames in the dark quarantined-nation epic Doomsday, which opens in 10 days, according to this new TV spot. And a guy from the Society for Creative Anachronism will sword-fight with a riot grrl. Not only that, but a man with a blond mohawk will show you whether he has any armpit hair while shouting about the end of the world. If all that doesn't scream "instant cult classic," I don't know what does. Click through for two more clips. More »

Girl-On-Girl Swordfight In The Plague Lands
First director Neil Marshall had to go around telling everybody Doomsday isn't a zombie movie, and now after you watch this new clip, he'll have to explain it's not a swords-and-barbarians flick either. But judging from a slew of newly released stills from the quarantined-country movie, Doomsday doesn't have any problem mashing up tons of genres. The movie looks like a dollop of Mad Max stirred in with a dash of medical thriller. Click through for a gallery and synopsis. More »
