So the premise for this film which begins shooting this side
of 2014 describes itself as follows: “A young brother and sister
work together to outwit a barrage of peculiar zombies, rescue their mom and
save the town”. Instantly my mind is taken back
to the 90’s when Macaulay Culkin was home alone and messed up a few small time
crooks with a series of elaborate and painful traps.
Some
might argue that Home Alone sends the wrong message to kids about how to
respond to a home invasion, others would say it’s a movie and it is the role of
the parents to teach their kids what to do in an emergency, my dad would say
who is Macaulay Culkin? Frankly, if zombies
decided to rock up at a kid’s playground, I would want my child to be able to
respond accordingly and kick some zombie ass, so I hope Kids Vs Zombies takes
that idea on board and presents the audience with child focused survival tips as
well as some laughs along the way.
Another
project with slightly similar themes is a film from the producers of Saw and
Paranormal Activity called Cooties! Now
everybody loves a good dose of girls and boys germs but imagine a virus that
rips through a primary school turning little kiddies into flesh hungry zombies –
HELL YEAH!! I’m sure more than a few of
you wanted to see a not so favourite teacher pinned against the wall with blood
hungry little monsters out for revenge!!
I
have to say I’m looking forward to both of these projects and I’m always more
than happy to venture into the wacky and unbelievable. Will these movies offend people, probably a
few, will my nephews and nieces be better off in the apocalypse if I include
this as essential holiday viewing, damn right they will!!
Bite
you later
