BRAINS!!!"- Surgeon General Rhys (Luke McKenzie) is a soldier working for the Australian army in the wasteland of the on going zombie virus from the previous movie WYRMWOOD: ROAD OF THE DEAD (2014). He spends his time finding survivors to hand over to the Colonel (Jake Ryan) and the Surgeon General (Nicholas Boshier)  to experiment on in the hope they find a cure. Or at least that is what Rhys believes anyway. Rhys is the twin brother of the Captain from ROAD OF THE DEAD who met a grisly death at the hands of Barry (Jay Gallagher) and his sister Brooke (Bianca Bradey), who coincidently is now a hybrid (half human half zombie) due to the experimentation she endured in ROAD. Barry and Brooke are currently on the run and are wanted as te...

 WYRMWOOD: ROAD OF THE DEAD (2014) Australia  1hr 38mins Director: Kiah Roache-Turner "This morning I shot my wife and child with a nail gun." - Barry "This truck runs on zombies... no zombies, no truck." - Benny "Never, EVER grab a mans balls in a fist fight. It shows low character" - The Captain Family man Barry (Jay Gallagher) has not only had to eliminate his wife and child in a horrible way when a sudden zombie virus hits his town but he then has to find his sister, his only surviving relative. As Barry and his family try to escape the initial outbreak his sister, Brooke (Bianca Bradey) is taken by armed soldiers and forced into participating in experiments by a psychotic doctor in a mobile laboratory. The movie jumps between both stories as Barry teams up with fellow survivors Benny (Leon Burchill), Frank (Keith Agius) and Kelly (Cain Thompson) in an attempt to find Brooke and escape the outbreak. Along the way both Barry and Brooke make discoveries...

CORPSE CONTROL  USA   5 episodes (15-20 mins per episode) Creators: Dave Krause and Chris Ragozzino "This is a dying industry...there's hardly any corpses on the street." - Ragz "First we have a corpse running through Manhattan... now we have one running through Queens??!!" - Ragz "Well, lets be real a corpse wont be the weirdest shit running through Queens." - Dave CORPSE CONTROL is a webseries currently on YouTube that has recently been brought to my attention. Standing at five episodes with a sixth soon to come (delayed due to covid) which will conclude its first season before jumping straight into season two. CORPSE CONTROL is set in New York. The city is recovering from a zombie virus that has plagued the world for the last twenty years, a vaccination was developed which has brought the human race back to relative normality and the remaining corpses are more of an inconvenience than a threat anymore. That is where Dave (Dave Krause) and Ragz (Chri...

  THE SADNESS (2021) Taiwan 1hr 39mins  Director: Rob Jabbaz "Did I beat the record?" - Attacker on the train. The eagerly anticipated and much talked about Taiwanese horror/disaster movie THE SADNESS brings something way more brutal to the infection/viral genre than anything Danny Boyle could potentially think up. It follows young couple Jim (Berant Zhu) and Kat (Regina Lei) as they go about their "normal" lives; talking to neighbours, going to work etc. Whilst waiting for Kat, Jim watches a news podcast talking about the recent reports on the current flu pandemic called the Alvin Virus sweeping their region. There are rumours and warnings of possible mutations causing serious symptoms but a lot of these reports were described as fictional by the host due to it being an election year. As Jim takes Kat to the tube station they pass a police crime scene with several bodies covered in bloody sheets. After the couple have left to go about their days, strange things sta...

  OVERLORD (2018) USA/Canada 1hr 50mins Director: Julius Avery "I know nothing of what the Doctor does." - Wafner "What do you do to the people taken to the Church?" - Ford "They have been given a purpose."- Wafner I feel like I may get some stick for this movie but I don't care too much as I really do rate this half war, half zombie/monster movie. Set in June 1944, a group of soldiers are dropped into France to find a small village and destroy a radio tower at a church that is blocking the radio signal. This all sounds fairly straight forward and non zombie right? So it's just as well that this church also houses an underground laboratory that the Nazis are using to experiment on the villagers. Test subjects have been seen being burned en masse or if they do make it out they are deformed beyond recognition, barely human. Once the remaining soldiers in the team make the perilous trip from the landing site to the village; Ford (Wyatt Russell), Boyc...

It is not only that but May also marks the one year anniversary of BRAIN BITES BLOG!! I just wanted to take a moment to say a massive thank you to everyone that has visited this blog (even if it was by mistake 😅) or have liked, shared or commented on any of our content on the socials over the year. We may be undead but it still means a lot to us behind the scenes and only fuels our hunger for more braiiiiinnnsss … erm, and zombie movies!  Over the course of this past year we've not only covered a varied collection of modern zombie movies but featured a couple of zombie related musical retrospectives and also called in some friends for their input on some classic zombie movies.

  SHED OF THE DEAD (2019) UK 1hr 22mins Director: Drew Cullingham "To be honest gardenings not really my thing." - Trevor "Online gamers... heathens!!!" - Graham "Ain't no ice cream in your future." - Doc This totally bonkers British zombie comedy sees the "between jobs" Trevor (Spencer Brown) spend his days locked in his shed on his allotment, not doing gardening mind... he hates gardening! He goes there more to avoid his over bearing wife Bobbi (Lauren Socha), spending his time brewing his own vodka called Trevoff and painting his D&D figures which he plays with round his friend Grahams (Ewen MacIntosh) as often as possible. One of the other allotment tenants Mr. Parsons (Kane Hodder) interrupts Trevor in his shed with a petition signed by the other tenants to remove Trevor and an argument ensues. The quarrel ends in an unfortunate accident and Trevor is left with a rather large Mr. Parsons sized problem to dispose of. Luckily for Trev...
