Doomed!

Maverick Entertainment’s Doomed is much maligned as a plot-less convict vs zombie chase fest set in an alternate future where prisoners compete for pardons and cash on a reality TV show called Survivor Island. I think it’s a fairly entertaining fun film that takes the “who is the real monster” political commentary so often found in zombie films to absurd enough lengths to make the movie subversive. Are they mocking the brain dead Hollywood anti-hero formula? You decide and enjoy:

Eric Koenig’s The Lurking Fear

Animator Eric Koenig made this homage to Lovecraft last year and it’s really quite entertaining. It has little to do with the Lovecraft story of the same name but Lovecraft fans and horror hounds in general will love this raucous jaunt into cosmic terror – and comedy.

The Dead One a.k.a. Blood of the Zombie

Thanks to Hulu you can experience this classic voodoo horror shocker from the late 60s. It involves a blonde voodoo priestess raising her dead brother as a zombie to chase off her cousin and his new bride from a plantation he inherited. Oh and he brings a belly dancer with him. The star Linda Ormand never made another movie – thankfully given her performance. But this is a very entertaining film. Enjoy Blood of the Zombie:
