Exhuma, 2024 - ★★★★

I was feeling a bit constrained by Hooptober, in large part because I’m about to spend a week in Dublin and that means our pace will be fairly harsh for the rest of October, but this really rejuvenated me.

As a pulp B-movie this is perfectly fine, with the added bonus of mostly unrelated wrestling scenes. It’s clunky and dated and light on plot. It’s also firmly in the lineage of those old sci-fi pulp serials, which I’ve always enjoyed. These are pre-Romero zombies, more mind controlled than undead, so there’s a bit of interesting […]
