SHAUN OF THE DEAD 2004
Edgar Wright’s dark-romantic-comedy Shaun of the Dead is a lively contemporary contribution to the zombie genre with its comment on society’s preoccupation with being, well, preoccupied. Two thirty-something losers, Shaun and Ed, don’t notice the signs that a zombie outbreak has hit London until one (their roommate) walks into the living room. For the first time in their lives, the slackers take some initiative by rescuing friends and family while Shaun also tries to prove to his estranged girlfriend he has more than just a desire to sit at the pub all day. A trope of zombie films is that the living dead and the living return to the places most familiar so you know where this ends…with a pint! (Nitehawk)

LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM 1988
This offbeat cult classic draws inspiration from Bram Stoker’s lesser-known novel, transforming it into a delirious and visually flamboyant tale of ancient evil. Set in the English countryside, it follows two brothers, Angus and Dorcas Flint (played by Hugh Grant and Catherine Oxenberg), who discover a series of unsettling events surrounding a local legend of a serpent-like creature. As they delve deeper into the mystery, they encounter the enigmatic Lady Sylvia Marsh (Amanda Donohoe), whose sinister connection to the ancient creature threatens the entire village. With its blend of dark comedy, supernatural intrigue, and Russell’s signature eccentric style, the film revels in its over-the-top presentation and unsettling atmosphere. (Facets)
