December 28, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Synopsis: The personalities of two former baseball players clash as they traverse the rural back roads of a post-plague New England teeming with the undead. My Quick Review: The Battery is a slow burn that will grow on you after a while. I have to admit that after half an hour or so I was starting […]

Synopsis: (from IMDb) Four weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads throughout the UK, a handful of survivors try to find sanctuary.

April 20, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Year: 2012 Director: Drew Goddard Rating: 9/10 Neoli’s Review: The Cabin in the Woods is one of those films I actually anticipated watching in the cinema last year.

Cockneys vs Zombies

Year: 2012 Director: Matthias Hoene My Short Review: Used to direct commercials, music videos and webseries, Matthias Hoene, young English director, signs here his first feature film.
