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

    • I'd quit this thread, let those who just want to slag Labour off have their own thread.  Your views on the economy are worth debating.  I'm just stunned how there wasn't this level of noise with the last government.  I could try to get some dirt on Badenoch but she is pointless  Whilst I am not a fan of the Daily Mirror at least there is some respite from Labour bashing. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/grenfell-hillsborough-families-make-powerful-36175862 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-facing-parliamentary-investigation-36188612  
    • That is a bit cake and eat it tho, isn’t it?    At what point do we stop respecting other people’s opinions and beliefs  because history shows us we sometimes simply have no other choice  you are holding some comfort blanket that allows you to believe we are all equal and all valid and we can simply voice different options - without that ever  impacting on the real world  Were the racists we fought in previous generations different? Were their beliefs patronised by the elites of the time? Or do we learn lessons and avoid mistakes of the past?   racists/bigots having “just as much to say” is both true and yet, a thing we have learnt from the past. The lesson was not “ooh let’s hear them out. They sound interesting and valid and as worthy of an audience as people who hold the opposite opinion” 
    • I don't have a beef with you. But I do have a beef with people who feel that a certain portion of the public's opinion isn't valid.  I don't like racism any more than anyone else here. But I do dislike the idea that an individual's thoughts, beliefs and feelings, no matter how much I may disagree with them, are somehow worth less than my own.  And I get the sense that that is what many disenfranchised voters are feeling - that they are being looked down upon as ignorant, racists who have no right to be in the conversation. And that's what brings out people on the margins and drives them towards extremes, like Reform.  Whether you like it or not, the racist, bigot, anti-european nextdoor to you has just as much say in the country as you do. Intellectual superiority is never going to bring them round. 
    • What is your beef with me ? Why are you asking rhetorical questions?  fighting me but excusing reform? have a look in the mirror  you’ve lost your way
