It is a good film, not holy wood, and not big budget, but good fun, a with one scene showing why you shouldn't run in the woods
Yep, as the man says, good old English horror film.

Cabin in the woods starts off the usual way teens go to a cabin in a woods, then it goes way off tangent with just about every monsters,ghost,ghoul from every horror genre running amock.
Just looking at the short trailer it seems that they will be deviating heavily from the 'plot' of the book. Understandable as the book is a collection of 1st person accounts without a central character. I hope it lives up to the book!

Ooooh crap, why oh why did I have to view that clip???! Zombies bursting out of the walls like a plague of rats. Just the sort of memory I need to go to bed with. :aargh4:
I have World War Z on my kindle but really couldn't get into it. Maybe I ought to give it a second try.
Elen, Dog Soldiers is a lot better than most godawful films that have been churned out over the years. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it actually was. Very much done in the black humour vein but still very watchable. Having it that link to it on youtube is a real asset too, you get to view for free.
Just saw a clip for Dead Snow. I won't be watching that. Zombie Nazis? Yep that's all I need!

Same here. I found it intruiging to start with but found that the "scene setting" from multiple accounts got bogged down a bit and tedious in the extreme. I gave up because I got bored but I will give it another go sometime, before the zombie apocalypse actually happens!
I did enjoy watching some of the action on sets when they filmed around George Square in Glasgow
Good film I thought.
Much more than just a horror film , more of a plea to Hollywood to stop making formula based horror films based on common variables and sterotypes. Works on several levels I thought.
I'm looking forward to seeing the film, mainly because my son & myself stumbled across them filming some of the movie in Glasgow so got to see some of the action sequences and stunts taking place (one of them is featured in the trailer).
Never having read the book, I'm not sure what expectations I have of the movie. With so many actors and extras mumbling incoherently, groaning, chaotically lumbering across the screen with their lifeless and expressionless faces...I'm sure Brad Pitt will fit in perfectly
Loved Dog Soldiers though, great scenery and enough action with a touch of tongue in cheek. Dead Snow is also well worth a watch.
I must admit to being a big fan of 28 Days Later & 28 Weeks Later. Slow moving zombies are a great way to build up tension but take a good zombie film, fuel-up the zombies on red bull & mars bars before handing them some running shoes and you have some exhausting, edge of the seat stuff...
The Omega Man with Chaz Heston was one if the first zombie vs well armed prepper movies and pretty good for it's time. Will Smith's I am Legend is OK too.
I would urge everyone not to watch Mark Dacascos' I am Omega as it takes z list zombie movies down to a whole new level of naffness. In one particular scene, the director decided that there wasn't enough gunplay and spliced in scenes from another film. The result was you have the main character running down an alley in a built up area shooting an M16 at pursuing zombies spliced with footage of a random stranger inexplicably firing an AK47 in a heavily wooded area. Please, please, please don't watch it as you will regret it to your dying day and you'll never, ever get that wasted time back!

I don't think they could have realistically made a movie out of the book, so I'm not surprised.
However, a TV series, with each one following one or a few of the individual stories would be brilliant.

Oh dear ! Now the opposite point of view ... maybe back on the list then, see what Hubby says
Great film!! Really funny. Low budget. Yes. Tongue in cheek. Yes. Silly Oh Yes! But entertaining and thats what counts, Sean Pertwee was great in Dog Soldiers..
The full trailer for World War Z is now available...

You do know that both films are based on the book "I am Legend"? Both interpret the book a bit differently (and there was a second ending made for the Will Smith version, "just in case").
The book is well worth reading IMO, not very long at all. And when I realised where the title came from I went "Ahhhhhhhhhh, now I see!!!!"
On youtube in full
