Forgive me fellow readers...I have been missing

No zombies have not eaten me, nor has a slasher stuck me with his knife, I've just been MIA. I had a death in the family, finals and projects due this month and still burnt out from Hack & Slash. No I have no given up on this blog or horror movies, I just needed some time away from them. It's not them, it's me, but I am still friends with them.... okay yeah that was cheesy, but oh well.

I have also been behind on keeping up with the news on horror movies like for The Raven and Salem's Lot that I am not sure what going on with the horror genre, and no they don't take off until next Halloween. So I am not sure what is going on, but I will try to see what I can dig up that is interesting at least. I am also behind in watching and reading in general so it's not this blog that I am neglecting.

I hope to watch watching... something more horror related here and start posting again, though don't get too comfortable. I may have an awesome internship next semester, which may take up all my time. So we'll see what happens, so thanks to those who have still been stopping by to see if I have pulled my head out of the grave.

Hack & Slash Recap Video

I decided to do a short video to recap Hack & Slash while I try to finish my my projects for the end of the semester. So enjoy.

Movie Review: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

For you youngsters you might not remember there was a cartoon called Attack of the killer tomatoes, which came from this movie. I never saw it and boy I kind of wish I never had. I was surprised by the approach of this movie. From what I remember about the cartoon, it was much better.

Synopsis: Tomatoes have started to attack and kill people.

Review: Yep, that's all you need to know about the movie. Well that and it's a comedy, similar to a Mel Brooks movie or some of the other slapstick comedies from the 1970s. Most of it makes no sense and the tomatoes aren't scary. No faces or anything, just tomatoes.

I know they wanted to make fun of the b-horror movies like The Birds and The Blob, but it just seemed like a stupid movie that some kids made to be funny. I know there's a sequel and I am not sure it's even worth watching.  So this movie is a completely crap. Find the cartoon and watch that instead.  Anyone want to remake this movie?

The Walking Dead Season Two Episode 2

The episode starts off, with a flashback of Lori's. She's talking to another woman about her and Rick's relationship. This is when Shane tells Lori about what happen to Rick when he got shot. Then we come back to the present and see Rick running with Carl for help. We Rick so shaken up he's unable to think properly. 

Rick finds out that the bullet has separated into 6 pieces and they need standard medical equipment to try to save Carl. Shane and Otis (the man who shot Carl) got to the local high school to find the supplies. Lori gets to the house and finds out that the man treating her son, is not a doctor, but a veterinarian. 

While trying to get the medical supplies Shane and Otis are surrounded by zombies and have to lock themselves in the high school. Carl doesn't have much longer to hang on and needs the surgery soon. 

Opinion: This episode was just okay in my opinion. It seemed very scattered and the fact that both the children in the group are suffering makes it just messy. I have a feeling that the lives of the two children will be the focus of this season. Even worse is that I am a mother and usually things like this pull at my heart strings. In this case I am not moved at all.

 I am hoping that as that the rest of the reason gets better. Remember there is only six episodes per season and they are up to number 3, but I haven't seen that one yet. Even Darryl in this episode has done a 180 from the last. It's almost like different people wrote the two different episodes.

The Walking Dead Season 2 Premier

It is finally upon us, season two of The Walking Dead!! I have been waiting for this for a long time. I had to wait until now to watch it since I have been busy.

Synopsis: We last left the group after the CDC exploded. The group is now heading towards Fort Benning. The RV breaks down on a freeway and the group looks through what is left behind for supplies they need. A heard of zombies comes through and the groups hides under the cars for safety. A few close calls,but everyone makes it. Sofia is chased by a walker and gets lost in the woods. The group keeps busying looking through the cars and moving cars off the road, while Rick, Daryl, and Glenn go looking for Sofia.

Shane tells Lori that he plans on leaving the group, which only complicates their relationship even more. We see even more issues with the group with Andrea, Dale and Shane over her gun and who is allowed to have a gun. The next day most of the group goes looking for Sofia, with Daryl leading. While looking the hear church bells, the make their way towards a church, and find zombies inside. The guys kill them quick and once again they hear bells, which is a speaker on a timer.

Andrea overhears Lori and Shane talking about Shane leaving. She asks Shane to allow her to come with him, because neither one of them belongs in the group. Rick seems to loose faith in himself after loosing Sofia. The group splits up and Lori confronts them all for blaming Rick for the outcomes and that they can go on their own if they want to.

The episode ends, when someone fires a gun at a deer Rick, Shane and Carl and goes through the deer and into Carl.

Opinion: For a season opening, it wasn't too bad. It really wasn't anything special, but I did like that Daryl had some decent moments/lines. He's stepping up to the plate you could say. There's probably more backstory to him going to come out is my guess, with what I noticed. While the beginning was great, the middle was just flat and the ending a crappy cliffhanger. I forgot the problems members of the group were having with each other so when they came up in this episode I had to remind myself. So they could have done more, I have to say 30 minutes looking for Sofia seemed a bit much. I hope they're not going to be looking for her the rest of the season, that would just be a drag.

Overall, it was decent.

By the way this is my 100th post!!!

Book Review: World War Z

I have been trying to finish this book for a while now. I finally was able to and now I get to review it for you guys.

Let me start off by saying if you are not a fan of zombies, but if you like books about war or history, then you might like this book. It is an oral history about when zombies start taking over the world and about how humans were able to overcome them.

The book's main character/narrator is interviewing all these people who had important roles in the war. It is a very easy read and hard to put it down. I decided to read it because I was seeing a lot on the movie that is currently being filmed based on the book. I am not sure how close the movie will be to the book, knowing Hollywood, not by much.

What appeal this book has is that, it has taken the zombie craze that people are obsessed with and put it into reality. What would happen if zombies took over the world and how would humans fair. It is different from all the other things I have seen by the fact it shows that not everyone can survive and how politics would play into it. Most movies are just about not getting bite or how to kill zombies.

So if you like zombies, or what to read a book about war and zombies this is for you.
