Episode 361: Episode 1 Revival part 1 and South Korean Zombies

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2023354/fan_mail/new] As we excitedly prepare ourselves to head to the Horror On Sea movie festival at the weekend and the premier of Dead Zero, Michael and I go wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy back, back into time, to the first episode of The Undead Symphony Pod. Back then I didn't have a Michael, didn't have a format, didn't have the theme tune and didn't have the celebrity intros.  In episode one I watched the #Alive and Final Days, both based on the same script Alone by Matt Naylor, who worked on both movies. It was that whole Let Me In, Let the Right One In, kinda scenario where two movies came out at the same time based on the same script, one American and one not, and both very good. After discussing #Alive today, we shall reconvene for Final Days tomorrow,  but in this lunchtime chinwag, we ended up expanding our chat to South Korean horror as a whole and it's place in the world of zombie entertainment. Check it out here.

Episode 360: Deadlocked: Dad of the Dead

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2023354/fan_mail/new] From the people who brought you Deadlocked (2020) comes an upgrade of sorts. Despite the comic undertones of the title, and the comedy lines from douche nozzle Toby as well as the "come to daddy," goading by the lead as he takes on the undead this is not a comedy. This is a zombie drama set in the rest room at a coffee shop, where tall, handsome, but mostly pathetic hunk Iverson and his newborn baby hold out with madman Harry, sarcastic barista Brie, fitness freak Annabel and absolute ass piece Toby as zombies pen them in. There are precious view zombies, it is mostly the people who you are trapped with turning on you. And the baby crying puts them all on edge, turning one against the other whilst Iversen, who is a clear foot and easily 50 pounds bigger than all the others and could kill them all, is just too much of the wimpy kid. The CGI veins also sucked. 5/10 When I saw Deadlocked, which is set in an elevator, I was rather watch The End? from Italy, which is much better. This is a toilet zombie movie, so I would rather watch Stalled, again much better.

Episode 358: World War Dead: Rise of the Fallen or Rise of the Fallen. You decide.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2023354/fan_mail/new] Somme-bies! Yes, that is actually one of the many Battle of the Somme jokes made by Marcus (played by the patchy bald soldier from 28 Days Later). Somme-bies! Somme-er Holiday. Somme-body get me out of here. I do hate found footage. I really do. I know some people love it but when it is done badly it is so bad. And this was bad. Given we have seen Live! Escape, Live! Survival, Godforsaken, The Bay, Zombie Diaries, Diary of the Dead, Savageland was more documentary style, but then the REC and Quarantine movies, I can easily spot the mistakes made. In this the mistakes are many. If you like camera glitches, camera glitches that somehow make you jump to past footage as filler, lots of people running about and screaming, but actual action and deaths off camera, if you like an annoying condescending director making unfunny Somme jokes and actually easy to kill zombies that for some reason are from the allies as well as the German ranks, and zombies obsessed with a van, then this is for you. It was the locations of Trench 11 meets Nazi Zombie Death Tales with the poor footage skills of Zombie Diaries and Goforsaken. It may not be the worst found footage zombie movie I have seen, but it is Somme-where around there. World War Dull! 3.5/10
