Sneaking in before Michael and I discuss the craziness that is the Japanese Stacy and the Thai SARS Wars - Bangkok Zombie Crisis, and our 400th episode on which we cover vampires, and more so the Josh Hartnett bloody and brutal 30 Days of Night, I have this, Evil in the Time of Heroes (2009), the sequel to Evil (2005).

Not as well received as its predecessor, with a confusing ancient Greek plot, some very weird special effects, meaningless plotlines, and Billy Zane in a hooded cloak talking Greek.

We do pick up where we left off from the first movie, with soldier Kleamtis, teen Jenny, cute neighbour Marina and father figure Meletis being chased to the football stadium after leaving the creepy taxi driver Agrylis to hang dead from the pipe in the wall. The stadium is surrounded by zombies who get in in their thousands. Is it the end of our heroes?

Well no, as we get a total cop out we get a 10 minutes later card and all four just walking out of the stadium covered in blood.

And from there it goes downhill. We have rival factions with no real agenda other than pointless violence, flashbacks to ancient Greeks fighting zombies, Billy Zane walking around killing whole hordes and spouting nonsense, and bringing back the dead, including those we had wished stayed dead.

Despite a budget 10 times the original, better acting, better cinematography, and Billy Zane this is a much inferior movie to the original. The creepy Agrylis and his creepier sleazy dad, the pointless deaths, awful effects and bag of frogs storyline make it a 3/10 at best. Definitely avoid.

I'd love to hear from my dear listeners. Recommend a zombie movie or show I haven't covered, or some on and chat all things zeke. Or just like and share.

A Greek zombie movie that splits it's reviews between tasty kebabs and rotting tzatziki. Set in Athens it tells the story of a zombie outbreak caused by builders digging into a cavern that houses some sort of evil. The three builders who go in come out weird and the start attacking others. Bloody, messy, fast turning, fast spreading and fast running zombies just done cheaply.

A teen, her neighbour, a father figure, a soldier with no tactical awareness, a moaning yuppie, a football fan and a slimy taxi driver come together to escape the city. Do they lock doors? No. Do we therefore lose people we didn't need to? Yes.

It was cheaply done, the acting wasn't great at times, the camera work and sound wasn't great at times. But, I found it watchable, despite all that.

4/10 given it was from 2005, post Land of the Dead and 28 Days Later, and before World War Z and Walking Dead.

There is a sequel, Evil: In the Time of Heroes that came out in 2009, happens 3 days later and somehow stars Billy Zane, although Jenny, her hot neighbour Marina, Argyris and Meletis are back again. I will have to go look for that.

Advertised Plot: After losing everything to a personal mistake, a suicidal man discovers a portal to a parallel world where a family is trapped by zombies. He must communicate across dimensions to save a dying girl and fight for his own redemption.

Reality: 16 moon shots! 16!!! That nearly doubles the record of dumbass moon shots in a zombie movie we have seen. Conceptually fine, the two dimensions thing with a guy going from one to the other. But it is just done so badly. Awful acting. Awful music choices including Jaws and Psycho rip-offs. Awful shouty kids and mom, who just shout their names the whole movie. The strobe light was terrible and off-putting. And we didn't get enough of what we are tuning in for, namely zombies being killed in a multiverse kinda ting. No, we have 15 mins of the main guy crying in a barn and a 3 minute dance routine.

A bit of a shambles at the best of times, our 5th and least favourite Indian movie, not even our favourite Telugu movie.

3/10
