America's Next Top Zombie Idol
Not Even Zombies Are Safe From Reality TV
VH1's new zombie reality TV show, America's Next Top Zombie Idol, could introduce the world to steamy hot tub zombie make outs, backstabbing undead confessionals about racist zombie roommate, zombies getting in fights at bars, and competitive brain eating. The show's premise is simple: "Eight zombies live together and compete for the winning spot in a reality TV competition." More »

John R. Hand Dares You To Drink His Zombie Youth Cocktail
Ritualistic murders, mind-altering zombie drinks and burka-donning, scar-faced villagers come out of the indie woodwork for John R. Hand's latest film.

300-style Vegas Zombies: Tonight We Gamble In Hell
Zombies infect Las Vegas with gritty 300 style mayhem, in Army of The Dead. The movie is set in a quarantined Las Vegas, overrun with zombies. A young girl is trapped inside and her father desperately tries to break the quarantine to save her life. Snyder (now directing Watchmen) has found a director for his original concept screenplay, Matthijs van Heijningen (who's only done those zany Stella Artois beer ads until now). Snyder will be taking a semi-backseat as a producer, along with his wife Deborah. [The Hollywood Reporter]

Wicked Smart Zombies Massacre Harvard Campus
Derrida-quoting zombies will lurch around Harvard Yard washing down your brains with chardonnay, in a new undead comedy directed by American Pie producer Warren Zide. The green lawns of Cambridge will run red with student blood, as zombies invade Harvard's campus. It's up to all our future lawyers, doctors and New Yorker writers to stop the zombie attack from spreading past their gates. On the heels of Zombie Strippers, Fido, and a host of zombie musicals, do we really need another zombie comedy? Maybe, if Zide brings the same gross-out humor he applied to Pie, combining college students, sexual exploration and the undead. The film's estimated release date is early 2009. [Variety]

zombie strippers review
Picture this, if you will: Porn star Jenna Jameson is in a movie playing a stripper who reads Nietzsche, becomes a zombie, and, armed with her new theory of undead power, eventually kills somebody by shooting pool balls out of her superstrong zombie pussy. If you want to know what the cult movie breakout of the season will be, look no further than Zombie Strippers. Created by brother-sister team Jay and Angela Lee, the movie is a mashup of awesome zombie gore, pneumatic boobie action, and postmodern feminist theory that would make the hair walk off Judith Butler's head. Opening in U.S. theaters tomorrow, Zombie Strippers is going to live forever in the annals of freaky-ass movie lore.

Shockingly, Project Necromancer Turns Out To Be A Bad Idea
The Dark Lurking, a film which just finished shooting in Australia, is described as "Aliens Meets Evil Dead," but looks more like a better remake of Doom, judging from the new trailer. A team of soldiers goes into the research station a mile beneath the Antarctic to find out what happened to the scientists down there. And soon, there are eight survivors left alive, with "ten levels of terror" to traverse on the way back up to the surface. Note to self: If you're ever asked to go work on a project called "Project Necromancer," it's probably best to decline politely. Click through to watch the trailer. More »

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 »

This gleaming hunk of urban development is about to rise on an artificial, perfectly square island off the coast of Dubai. Engineers in the coastal country are already adept at building islands — Dubai possesses three artificial island developments, including one made of house-sized islets that form the shape of all the continents of the world. With this new development, architect Rem Koolhaas will design an entire city that reflects his futurist philosophy about the "generic city." That glowing ball you see will be a city unto itself.

New Television Series Examines Life Without Humans
Movies like The Mist, I Am Legend, and Cloverfield depict aliens, monsters from the briny deep, and superviruses hell-bent on driving people out of the cities and off the face of the Earth. But what would really happen tomorrow if everyone suddenly vanished today? A new series on the History Channel called Life After People asks that exact question, and while it looks a bit like 12 Monkeys, it also looks utterly fascinating. Plus their tagline "Welcome To Earth, Population: 0" actually sounds like a great scifi series. Catch it this coming Monday on The History Channel.

Must See: 28 Days Later
Must-see movies are futuristic classics that shouldn't be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That's why we've rated them 1-5 on the patented "crunchy goodness" scale.Title: 28 Days Later

A post-apocalyptic nail-biter with a serious political message, 28 Days Later is one of the most terrifying movies of the early twenty-first century. More »
