Z Nation (2014)
Where's the 80s horror crowd?
Yes, this is not TWD. This show is not meant to be TWD and I have to say it's getting unfair ratings. Got news for you folks, TWD didn't set the standard for the zombie genre. What TWD did was change the genre and it is obviously a fantastic show. So let's get to the chase. Z Nation is in line with what I grew up with as far as the zombie genre goes. Being a big fan of Romero's Dead films and just a fan of horror movies in general, especially those 80s films chocked full of gore and humor, I really enjoy Z Nation. I had discussed this with a friend and we of course agreed, if we were actually stuck in a zombie apocalypse, we'd surely do some partying when the chance was given and we'd most definitely have plenty of sarcasm to regurgitate while doing so. This is something TWD lacks completely and while I totally love that aspect of the show, it doesn't mean a show that does have those elements is bad. So those who are dismissing Z Nation as a viable and enjoyable show, please take another look with an open mind. There is no reason you cannot enjoy the intense, brutal and often disparaging feel of TWD AND the cheesy, humorous and don't-take-it-serious feel in Z Nation.
The Frankenstein Theory (2013)
Quite possibly the worst film I have seen.
I am by no means an experienced movie reviewer but I've seen enough films and have been an avid horror film buff for 30 years to know when I've seen a terrible movie. I've seen the lowest budget to the major studio releases and every film in between. This is my first review on IMDb which should speak volumes since I decided to take time to warn people not to waste your time with this movie. You'd be better off taking the hour and twenty minutes raking a cheese grater against your forehead! Even the lowest budget shlockers offer something for entertainment. Whether it be excessive gore or scantily clad girls...they do SOMETHING to try to catch your attention, even if it is the most low brow base function.
As I watched this I kept waiting for something to happen.....something PLEASE! It never delivers. A regurgitation of overly used clichés and zero originality is what you have in store for you. If you want something to bore you to sleep, I suppose renting this is cheaper than a bottle of sedatives. Or if you have an overpowering desire to become so irritated at the rubbish that you are witnessing on screen to the point of shoving your finger in your eye and swirling it around a bit, then by all means watch this film. Otherwise avoid it like the plague.
