Love and Monsters: How a Robot and a Dog Became the Heart of Netflix’s Apocalyptic Romp

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
Isolated groups of people hide out underground for years after a monster-apocalypse wiped out 90% of the earth’s population in the latest buzzy movie to arrive on Netflix, Love and Monsters. Though the title and synopsis lean toward light-hearted comedy, this movie from director Michael Matthews, which is nominated for an Oscar for best VFX in this year’s awards, is actually a lot more nuanced than that. And while there are some utterly wonderful monsters (giant frog is a personal favourite, though the crab monster also delivers…), and an exploration of themes of love – the key centrepiece scene of…

Love and Monsters Trailer Has Dylan O’Brien and Jessica Henwick in an Apocalyptic Romance

New DVD release, , , , , ,

And boy, does this statue…

Train to Busan: Peninsula Trailer Promises Apocalyptic Mayhem

New DVD release, , , , , ,
When Train to Busan premiered at the Cannes Film Festival as part of its midnight selection, it delighted and surprised as a South Korean zombie movie that kept things kinetic yet simultaneously claustrophobic on a train. The movie went on to be a darling among aficionados of action and chiller hybrids. Let’s just say its anticipated sequel, Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula, is aiming to broaden the scope a bit.
