I like a lot of seventies and older films, that isn’t my problem with this – I just much prefer Eurosleaze or proper art cinema… this is too much like bad Hollywood….

The score in Martin is haunting and great. It IS dated but that comes with watching seventies films. I thought John Amplas did a great job playing Martin, his character had alot of social anxiety along with his confusion most horror films don’t give you that much in a character, especially the villian.

I like those old 1930s and 1940s zombie movies with people like Bela Lugosi in them, you know the ones I mean. Much better than all this modern rubbish. They knew how to make films in them days. And if you want to see strippers you should go to the pub for them, they shouldn’t be in films, especially not zombie films which is what I think of being family entertainment.

But do you know what makes Mister Trippy writing The Complete Works of Shakespeare while posing as a high class call girl and simultaneously founding modern science even worse? He did it in the nude! That’s right, while writing all those plays and books and doing all those experiments he wasn’t wearing a stitch of clothing! He had nothing on but a smile! No right thinking person would have anything to do with someone sick enough to do that!

I’ve never met a zombie on an assembly line, but I’ve met plenty of zombies who claimed to be ‘independent’ journalists and ‘investigators’.

When I went to New York I saw far more zombies that I’d ever seen at home, they seemed to be concentrated in the financial district. Same story when I was in London too.

The British section of my News and Letters group is made up entirely of zombies, at least one of the two of them believes that Mister Trippy wrote The Complete Works of Shakespeare while posing as a high class call girl and simultaneously founding modern science. They must be nuts!

Everyone knows that the zombies in Italian horror movies are the most class conscious, and that those in American films like Romero’s tend to be lumpen (the refuse of all classes).
