Quick Review: Every 7 Days

Written and Directed by Philip Webb
Produced and Edited by Amy Livingstone

“Every 7 Days” is a short zombie film, with no zombies seen… Seen through the eyes of a mother and daughters strained relationship. Will they pull together and survive, or..?

Every 7 Days is a new short short film from writer/director Philip F. Webb. Set in the bolt-hole of a mother and daughter fighting to survive the Zombie Apocalypse, E7D gives the viewer a weekly glimpse into the slowly decaying existence of those “left behind.” We experience this through short, weekly video updates from the daughter (ruby Leonard) as she mourns the loss of her father, the psychological effects of the apocalypse on her mother, and ruminates on her own fate.

As the “biters” grow stronger and smarter, will they survive?

You can find out in just 8 minutes by giving the short a watch at the end of this review.

Written by Adam Charles Hart

Raising the Dead dives into the expansive, extraordinary body of work found in Romero’s archive, going beyond his iconic zombie movies into a deep and varied collection of writings that never made it to the big screen.

 Available at Amazon

Raising the Dead: the work of George A. Romero is a definite recommendation for any fan, just as long as you are aware that this is a serious, academic endeavour and not a coffee table book full of glossy splatter and gore!

GNoH Review: Alive (2023)

Written and Directed by David Marantz

Helen navigates a ravaged world with her boyfriend Kevin and her little brother Barney. Desperate to find help after Barney’s infection slowly turns him into a zombie, they come upon a house where lives Dan, a man harboring a heavy secret. (IMDB)

ALIVE is a decent, low-budget Zombie horror that might be a bit rough around edges, but which showcases the talents of those involved and I look forward to what Marantz and the team come up with next.

Franchise Review: Resident Evil (2002)

Written and Directed by Paul W. S. Anderson

I remember looking forward to this film a lot while waiting for it’s release. Resident Evil was a phenomena on the Playstation 1 (yep, kids there was actually a PS1!) and I have a lot of fond memories of playing the game with my housemates at the time. A favourite was coming home one night after a late shift, knowing my mate was playing and bursting in through the open window (it was summer) while making Zombie noises. Oh how he laughed…
