The dead will rise!

This week Sam and I are finally moving away from the water themed movies with - Night Of The Living Dead (1968)

As Barbara and her brother Johnny go to visit their father's grave they're set upon but a shambling stranger. Managing to get away we find ourselves boarded up in an old farmhouse as hordes of the undead begin to swarm. Boards are pulled from windows, teeth gnash as they try to bite and the only thing holding them at bay...a gunshot to the head and the bright beams of car lights and fire.

So find a rifle in the closet, stare at a wall vacantly and try not to make any silly decisions as try to survive the - Night Of The Living Dead (1968)

Today we we're getting married...just not sure to whom yet.

Jess D returns this week with a far less traumatizing movie than last time. This week we take a look at - Corpse Bride (2005)

Young Victor (Johnny Depp) and Victoria are to wed, though they've never met. The marriage has been arranged by their families for their own personal goals; for Victor's parents it's to climb the social ladder, for Victoria's it's because they're broke. Being as nervous as he is Victor escapes into the woods to practice his vows where he inadvertently weds himself to the long dead remains of Emily (Helena Bonham Carter) whose bones lay hidden within the woods.

So play a jingle on the piano, watch as the dead rise to the land of the living and practice your vows as we wed the - Corpse Bride (2005)

"You liked me lobster! Say it!"

Hark! Shane joins me for a nautical treat with - The Lighthouse (2019)

When two men arrive on an island for their shift tending the lighthouse they have no idea to what extremes their sanity will be tested. Thomas Wake (Willam Dafoe) is a seasoned wickie with many shift under his belt but this time he's got a new assistant, as his last claimed the glow of the lighthouse was a God unto itself. This new assistant, Thomas Howard (Robert Paterson) left his previous job at a logging company for the chance at better pay. The pair don't seem to get along as the division of labour rests unbalanced and tempers begin to run hot.

So have a bit of lobster, wash it down with a cup of lamp oil and leave the local wildlife alone as we stare at the radiance of - The Lighthouse (2019)

It would have been nice if she could have just caught a break!

This week Bronwyn and I are tackling a fan request for somebody's favourite movie - Carrie (1976)

Carrie is a bit of a social recluse. Her mother's obsessive and oppressive religious beliefs cause her to see the world as nothing but sin. But after a particularly brutal bought of bullying she begins to discover that she can move things with her mind. At last she can pull away from her mother and has even been asked to the prom. As the night fast approaches it's clear that her bullies won't just let Carrie turn her back on them.

So sew a perfectly peachy dress, pray away the sins and give those bullies a sideways glance as we ask our favourite girl to the prom - Carrie (1976)

We took one of the most evolutionarily advanced creatures in the world and gave it a genius intellect what could go wrong.

Alice is joining me to indulge my horror popcorn, shark movies, this week with - Deep Blue Sea (1999)

Sharks don't degrade with age, this may be the key to curing degenerative diseases for humanity. A crack team of scientists are working on extracting chemicals from shark brain matter which can then be transferred to people, curing them. Problem is that time is running out and without substantial results their research is to be shut down. One last test will be the difference between success and failure...but have the sharks got something else in mind?

So light yourself a cigarette, give the shark a hand and pull the plug on this whole operation as we dive into the - Deep Blue Sea (1999)
