The Dead Don’t Die 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

17th July 2019 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

The Dead Don’t Die is allegory with the occasional big dose of very pleasing karma thrown in, along with some intestines. And a lot of dry humour, as otherworldly yet Scottish undertaker Zelda (Tilda Swinton), making up two dead golfers with day-glow eye make up, spits out an accusatory “are you in this together?” at… The Dead Don’t Die Read More

Shed Of The Dead 2.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

24th May 2019 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

With three horror icons gracing his rom-zom-compost Britfick Shed Of The Dead, director Drew Cullingham is triply blessed. Kane Hodder (who I last saw tearing innocent victims limbs from limb in Victor Crowley), Bill Moseley (who I’m to scared to watch in anything) and Michael Berryman (Wes Craven’s The Hills Have Eyes), face off during a particularly local… Shed Of The Dead Read More

What We Do In The Shadows 5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

20th April 2017 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

Immortality can’t all be glamorous cloak-swishing nights out or chases pursued by 15th century pitchfork-waving villagers. At some point someone has to sort out the recycling and wash up the blood-spattered plates. Mockumentaries rarely get it completely right. Balancing out the laughs with situations that could actually be real, and which also propel the story forward,… What We Do In The Shadows Read More

Train To Busan 5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

27th February 2017 by Sarah Cartland 4 Comments

There was one empty seat left on the 7am out of brighton and damn if she wasn't going to be sitting in it

The only really jarring note for Brits watching Train To Busan is the perfection of the Korean railway network. Even during their zombie apocalypse it still seems rather better than some of the journeys I’ve endured over the years. For many of us, a public transport system that perfect and immaculate seems less believable than hoards… Train To Busan Read More

Pride And Prejudice And Zombies 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

12th January 2017 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

Looking at the aftermath of the Netherfield Ball, the girls finally understood why their dance cards were so seldom marked

As the voiceover says early on in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, “keep your swords as sharp as your wits. As the ultimate battle between the living and the undead has yet to be staged.” The beauty of a Jane Austen  / zombie mashup is that you know exactly what’s going to happen in both genres,… Pride And Prejudice And Zombies Read More

Girl With All The Gifts 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

14th October 2016 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

I love zombie movies set in the UK, as there’s something warm and safe about seeing the undead standing round aimlessly in shopping centres that I know really well. Maybe because allegories about the over-commercialisation of society are more easily understood if they’re trying to eat a Greggs pasty before their decaying arm falls off. It’s no exaggeration… Girl With All The Gifts Read More
