- DirectorOliver MilburnStarsDan RichardsonGiles AldersonSophie LinfieldAfter witnessing his wife's brutal murder, Daniel Shergold makes the ultimate sacrifice and accepts the help of a dark and mysterious stranger in order to reap vengeance on those responsible.Not your run of the mill vampirism, from normal guy who experiences the greatest grief - losing his wife in a violent attack, to a vengeful creature of the night out for blood for blood! More depth to the story, but you need to pay attention. Not for those looking for sparkling lovey dovey cuddle-me deer blood drinkers...
- DirectorAndrew CurrieStarsKesun LoderBilly ConnollyCarrie-Anne MossIn an Earthly world resembling the 1950s, a cloud of space radiation has shrouded the planet, resulting in the dead becoming zombies that desire live human flesh. A company called Zomcon has been able to control the zombie population. Zombies can be temporarily neutralized by being shot, but can only be permanently neutralized by their brain being destroyed. Their ultimate disposal is through cremation, or burial, the latter which requires decapitation with the head being buried separately from the body. Conversely, Zomcon has created the domestication collar, when activated and placed on a zombie makes the zombie controllable, and thus an eternally productive creature within society. Because all dead initially become zombies, the elderly are viewed negatively and suspectly. And all people, adult or child, learn to shoot to kill to protect society. Zomcon is the go to organization for all things zombie. In the town of Willard, the Robinsons - father Bill (Dylan Baker), mother Helen (Carrie-Anne Moss), and adolescent son Timmy (Kesun Loder) - are one family who don't own a zombie as a domestic, since Bill is afraid of zombies, as, when he was a child, he had to shoot his own zombie father, who tried to eat him. Bill has thus become fascinated with funerals to see zombies put away permanently. But Helen feels pressured to get a zombie when Zomcon's new head of security in Willard, the officious Jonathan Bottoms (Henry Czerny), moves into the neighborhood with his family. Never having had to deal with a zombie directly, Timmy is initially wary of their zombie. But as a lonely child who has no friends and is often bullied, Timmy eventually befriends their zombie, who he names Fido (Sir Billy Connolly), as he treats the zombie much like a faithful pet dog. Timmy protects Fido at all cost, even after Fido, due to no fault of its own, is implicated in some deaths, which creates a mini-wave of loose zombies unknown to Zomcon. But Fido may play a larger role within the family as a companion for Helen, who is largely neglected by Bill, since he sees human affection as ultimately resulting in such difficult issues as what happened between him and his own father. With Timmy and Helen treating Fido with kindness, Fido, in turn, may prove that not all zombies, even when without their domestication collar, are out to kill anyone and everyone in their path.Zombies meet the idealistic, plasticized version of the 1940's - take 2 parts goofy, 1 part well acted, a splash of blood, stir and skip the olive! Remember, love and understanding turns up in the strangest places... Prepare to laugh, a must see for all zombiphiles out there... UNNNHHHH!!
- DirectorMichele SoaviStarsRupert EverettFrançois Hadji-LazaroAnna FalchiA cemetery man must kill the dead a second time when they become zombies.Absolutely not what you'll expect. Quite the twisted ending... heck, quite the twisted film! This cemetery caretaker has a lot more to worry about than just keeping the grass cut back!!!
- DirectorJonathan GlendeningStarsIsabella CalthorpeTom FeltonGemma AtkinsonSarah Tyler returns to her troubled family home in the isolated countryside, for a much put-off visit. As a storm rages outside, Sarah, her family and friends shore up for the night, cut off from the outside world. But something comes out of the driving rain and darkness. Something that holds a dark secret so devastating that, in one night, it could wipe out the entire family.A different twist on the werewolf theme, something main character, Sarah - eldest sister and visiting home after a long time away - isn't quite ready to deal with. The ending is another one of those unexpected twists. The writer/director(s) did a great job of leading your thoughts down a completely different path. Although the movie takes place within a few hours of just a single night, you still get to know and can feel some depth of character. Good watch when you are tired of watching the same films over and over to get your "wer" fix in!
