Herbert

Assumed Name: Herbert

Movie Title: Days of Darkness

Year of Release: 2007

Director: Jake Kennedy

Performance/Costume Review: Oh man, where to start? I'm torn because I want to tell everyone not to see this film (it's that bad), but you have to see this zombie performance to believe it. Herbert is turned into a zombie and is chained up in a cell. From his first scene to the last he takes overacting to a level I've never seen before. The highlight is at the end when he is being killed. He starts screaming/hissing and shaking his head. It's like watching a cornered stray cat trying to warn you it will attack, but at the same time he's screaming because of the pain he's in. I couldn't stop laughing. Just looking at this movie still brightens up my day.

Assaulted Zombie

Assumed Name: Assaulted Zombie

Movie Title: Bio Zombie

Year of Release: 1998

Director: Wilson Yip

Performance/Costume Review: There were a lot of zombies to highlight in this film, but it was one zombie that really grabbed my attention. The zombie you see posted above had on a lovely orange jumpsuit that, right from the start, made him stand out from the others. I feel his unique fashion sense made him a target for childish taunts by humans. You see, after a guy cut off a random zombie head he thought he would send a message by kicking that head at the other zombies. It's a great idea, but it appears he wasn't kicking that head blindly into the crowd, he had a target. So here is where we see out bright orange zombie, standing around minding his own business. Before he knows it he finds himself at the bad end of a violent attack as the kicked head hits this zombie and then falls to the ground. Although he didn't seem affected, I imagine deep down inside it hurt his zombie feelings. We all make sacrifices for fashion, this zombie learned those sacrifices the hard way. Maybe next time he'll wear something a little less flamboyant.
