Shudder somehow became trademark for quality horror lately and this is really an interesting idea made into movie. Ryan Kwanten of True Blood fame stars in this one as Wes, guy who just came through painful breakup with Brenda(Sylvia Grace Crim) and he travels along highway and he himself does not know where. Wes stops at a little rest stop and drinks himself to oblivion as he burns Brenda´s and his stuff and passes out. When he comes to, he runs to toilet to puke and realizes he is locked inside with a voice coming from glory hole(J.K. Simmons is brilliant as a voice). That voice presents itself as god Ghat and asks favor of Wes, then things start to complicate. Well, this maybe doesn´t sound promising or inviting but you gotta watch this one, believe you me. This is practically a one man movie, with couple of actors appearing in couple of minutes but Kwanten did a hell of a job with this one. I love how psychodelic parts collide with mindfuck and cosmic horror in this one. This is a good movie. Directed by Rebekah McKendry.
I just love war horror! This little subgenre of horror is related to movies happening in WWII, WWI or other wars, or are related to those wars. This little movie is so great that I watched it already three times since it is out ten years ago. Well, a group of mercenaries discovers abandoned mine in which Japanese general Yamashita supposedly hid gold. But, as things go in such movies, there is no gold and the mercenaries and scientists deal with infamous Japanese Unit 731 instead, For those who don´t know, Unit 731 was a sinister Japanese division which did experiments on humans and killed a lot of prisoners of war, especially in the town of Harbin in Manchuria. Well, action here is superb, especially when those Japanese Imperial Guard soldiers step into story. There are couple of great gore scenes, ending leaves place for a sequel which fortunately or less fortunately never came. My heartily recommendation for this one. Directed by Steven Sheil(Mum & Dad).
Not to be confused with same titled Stephen King´s legendary novel and movie, this one is a lame attempt at just another post infection zombie vs special forces movie. A team of special ops soldiers must enter the zone where supposedly all the infected fast running zombies are killed by a blast, called Dead Zone. Their mission is to take new vaccines out and save the world. As it goes in movies such as this, their plans complicate as they are taken one by one by mutants, virus and zombies. This is a cheap ass bad story movie, Michael Jai White and Jeff Fahey only appear a little to justify their names on poster. Everything mostly happens in dark and dim lighted rooms of an abandoned building which plays a science facility in this movie. Zombies are totally no see, in shadow running in impossible angles and main mutant villain is just bad. This is a bad one indeed. Avoid!
