Here are some curios worth checking out:


Director Jean Rollin is an infamous 'Eurotrash' director with over 50 films to his name with many of them actually trash TBH but he always worked on low budgets and occasionally made a gem or two and this atmospheric French tale is definitely one of them.
will check out Bio Zombie

i've seen some Jean Rollin vampire movies, what they lack in aptitude they make up for in outrageousness and comedy

I've never seen a Jean Rollin film, what do you think of them? I've actually got a collection of Paul Naschy films to watch (the Spanish master of horror) which when I get the time will watch, Paul Naschy seems to have had a fascination with the wolf-man as most of his films are werewolf related.

Shaun of the Dead was great, had some great humour and cliched a lot of the classic zombie films.

I don't watch Zombie movies, scary movies, or anything that will make me scared before I sleep.

they're quite high camp and not very scary

and the budget is so low they used rubber bats (which is quite obvious)

- think something like The Rocky Horror Picture Show minus the songs and with vampires (usually played by a gayish looking blonde somewhere between Christopher Lee and Bela Lugosi)

wow, now the rubber bats remind me of something that could be out of an Ed Wood film.

One of my favorite films of all time is 28 Days Later. The atmosphere in that film is so incredible; just a perfect melding between cinematography and score. The opening scene where Cilian Murphy is just wandering around a deserted London just gives me goosebumps every time I watch it.

Another thing I noticed was that the camera in that film (and other British productions I've seen) has this sort of lo-fi quality about it that I love. It's almost like it's more grainy than the super crisp American films from Hollywood. Idk, I might be crazy, but has anyone else noticed this?
