Zack Snyder's 'Army Of The Dead' Trailer Executes A Heist In Zombified Las Vegas

dave bautista and friends
A heist movie, but make it zombies. I’ve heard much worse ideas, and that’s the basic premise behind Zack Snyder’s upcoming Netflix movie, Army of the Dead. While this first trailer doesn’t reveal much, it teases action, the undead, and the myriad problems that arise when those two elements collide. In short, it looks like a fine time. Check it out below.

'Peninsula' Trailer: This 'Train To Busan' Sequel Promises Bloody Zombie Action


2016’s Train to Busan is one of those zombie movies that comes along every few years and reminds everyone how good the genre can be. The South Korean horror film was a big international hit and now the sequel, Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula, is on the way, with another new trailer as proof.

'Train To Busan Presents: Peninsula' Trailer: This Sequel Promises Gnarly Zombie Survival Action


Movie new has been pretty dead as of late, what with most of the movie industry worldwide being shut down due to COVID-19. Still, there were plenty of movies on the way, and a bunch remain en route. One we’re looking forward to around these parts is the South Korean zombie film Peninsula, a new horror set in the world of Train to Busan and now titled Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula. We finally got a look at trailer and damn, this is the stuff we’ve been waiting for.

Pre-Order 'Hitchhiking Through Fire' By Brent McKnight Now


UPDATED: I’d say I like to keep personal news out of these posts for the most part. But if you’ve read anything I’ve ever written on here, you know that’s a crock and know more about my life than I should probably reveal to strangers on the internet. Whatever. I do, however, have some personal/professional news that’s both exciting and, I hope, relevant to your interests.

'Anna And The Apocalypse' (2017) Movie Review


Scottish import Anna and the Apocalypse delivers precisely what the premise promises: a zombie high school Christmas musical. Depending on how you feel about that combination of words, your mileage may vary. Personally, I find it largely delightful.

'The Night Eats The World' (2018) Movie Review




Zombie movies have been done every which way, and then some. It’s been said often, but bears repeating, that it’s difficult to bring anything new or fresh to the genre. But a movie doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel or do something entirely unheard of in order to be effective. Dominique Rocher’s debut feature, The Night Eats the World, falls into a category with films like The Girl with all the Gifts, Train to Busan, and The Battery, movies that, while they don’t necessarily blow up the categorical conventions, do what they do well, put an inventive spin on the proceedings, and breathe a bit of life into what can be a stale horror subset.

'Cargo' Trailer Throws Martin Freeman And A Baby Into The Zombie Apocalypse



As a genre, it’s difficult to do anything fresh with a zombie movie. When they hit, they’re some of the greatest horror movies ever made. But especially 50 years removed from Night of the Living Dead, the hits far outnumber the misses. Every so often, a film comes along that reminds us there’s still life in the undead. They don’t have to reinvent the wheel—Train to Busan certainly doesn’t, but it’s still a fantastic addition to the cannon—but it has to do more than crap out a slapdash story about the walking dead. Now, I don’t know if Cargo is going to be any good or not, but this new trailer has my attention.

'Anna And The Apocalypse' Trailer: A Zombie High School Christmas Musical. Yes, You Read That Right

'Train To Busan' (2016) Movie Review



It’s been almost 50 years since George Romero defined the modern zombie in Night of the Living Dead (it’s crazy how fresh that movie still feels), and those decades have been full of countless takes on the subgenre. Hell, there are even subgenres within the subgenre—one of my favorites is the Nazi-zombies-in-bodies-of-water subset. While there have been monumental achievements using this framework, as time goes on, things have become stale with age. There’s not much to do that hasn’t been done, but every once in a while a movie comes along and infuses the undead with a bit of freshness. Danny Boyle did it with 28 Days Later, and South Korean director Yeon Sang-ho’s latest, Train to Busan, has a similar effect.

Blu-Ray Review: 'The Battery'

Zombie movies are ridiculously overdone. The marketplace is so saturated with mediocre-to-terrible films that it’s barely worth trying to wade through the nonsense to get to the gems. That said, every once in a while you come across one that reminds you of just how good the genre can be, and Jeremy Gardner’s The Battery is, thankfully, one of those that breathes a bit of much needed life into what is largely an undead genre. And lucky you, it’s now available on Blu-ray thanks to Scream! Factory.
