The Cottage (2008)

I heard The Cottage described as a ‘British horror comedy’ and knew I had to see it. The fact that the brilliant Andy Serkis (Clueless, 13 Going on 30, Lord of the Rings) was involved only made me want to see it more. I had such high hopes and was sure the movie could only be a let down. I have never been more wrong.

The Cottage works on every level. From the moment it began, I knew it was going to be awesome. The music was campy and fun – perfect way to set the tone for the movie. The cast was especially good and the dialogue was witty and sharp. The gore is excellent and very well done; as is the entire movie. Definitely a must see for fans of a good mix of horror and comedy.

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

Shaun of the Dead is what zombie movies are meant to be and, in my humble opinion, one of the best slasher movies ever made. It may not typically be classified as a slasher movie, but as far as I’m concerned, the blood, guts and carnage throughout the entire film entitle it to a spot on this site.

Shaun of the Dead had two of the things I love most in a movie – gore and dry British humor. The fact that these two factors are combined so perfectly in this movie make it one of my all time favorite movies. Simon Pegg (Shaun) is my hero. He makes battling zombies while being hysterical look easy – and even a little fun.

Planet Terror (2007)

Here we have possible one of the best slasher movies ever made centering around zombies, Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror. I’m not sure this movie could be better. If you’ve seen it, you understand. If you haven’t, what the hell are you waiting for?

All the elements of a perfect zombie movies are in place in Planet Terror. Hot girls in skimpy outfits, comedy, action and buckets of blood and brains. Throw in a few gratuitous shots of herpes riddled genitals and you have a masterpiece.
