Grimmfest — A–Z of films

A clever, minimal bit of film-making.

Dawn Of The Dead is an astounding work that holds up to this day.

It will revolt some viewers, who won't see what's funny about it at all, but others will love it.

Richardson shines in what was her first major film role.

Credit must go to cinematographer Piers McGrail whose sumptuous visuals add to the tension and creeping sense of dread.

Feels less experimental and alternative than, well, the zombie genre demands.

Considerably more enjoyable than it ought to be.

In this fish-out-of-water comedy, mundanity is key.

It takes real skill to make a film this stupid this effectively.

Simply aping horror films of yesteryear, layering on the piles of intestines, and putting self-aware performances on screen, isn’t enough on its own in today’s crowded field of horror parodies.
