Saw it on Saturday/ I hadn't realised that it was based on a book. I quite enjoyed the movie & thought Smith did a good job. Going & reading about the book I can see how you'd be disappointed. I'll need to look for that. Interesting idea.


I also enjoyed it because my girlfriend suggested going to see a zombie flick! I tried to warn her, but she didn't believe me. She hates zombie movies. :)

I was saying that I never got the impression from the trailers that it was a horror.

Roll on the zombies; I fell in love with Vampires after Salem's lot and Fright Night, Zombies with Return of the living dead that progressed me to the night/dawn/day of the dead films....marvellous.

Thence to the wonderful evil dead/army of darkness trilogy....masterful.

The book has "them" as reasonably intelligent zombies. This current version has some god-awful CGI zombie/orc things


Totally with you on the roll call of films/books tho mockers. Vampire mythology received a big boost with Brian Lumley's Necroscope books in the 80s/90s but he milked the whole thing dry. I must revisit the first one again now you (well I) mention it....


in the meantime I shall remind myself by visiting

ooh those names still give me a chill

    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
