George A. Romero shaped modern horror, invented zombies as we know them, and is just an overall legend. Resident Evil is one of the most well-known horror franchises in the world. What would have happened if the two ever came together? We also talk about the Cape Fear series that is coming to Apple TV.

Tony Todd is a horror icon. We wanted to cover one of his lesser known movies. It was not important if the film was “good” or not. We just wanted something that conveyed the essence of Todd. When we saw Hellblazers, we figured it was the perfect choice.

Even forgetting whether it is good (spoiler alert: it isn’t), it was a horrible choice. Todd is only given a pair of scenes; the sum total does not even equal five minutes. This is Hellblazers in a nutshell. There are lots of hints at a perfectly acceptable horror movie that instead leave the audience with lots of questions. Why is it set during Christmas? Why spend so much time discussing a dog that never shows up? Why show chicken fat?

While we admit 1987’s Street Trash is a cult classic filled with great special effects, we do not like it. Which is why we want into its remake with some skepticism. As it turns out, director Ryan Kruger surpasses everything the original did. It is raunchy, silly, and very very gory.

We wanted to give Tony Todd a fitting tribute. We also wanted to cover something of his that was a little off the beaten path. We were only halfway successful - and that was a failure. We also talk about the surprising remake of a body melt cult classic.
