From the Australian outback to the forests of the Czech Republic to a Louisiana plantation, the dead are poppin' up all over the place!

Zombie Brigade - The residents of an Australian outback town find themselves beseiged by zombie soldiers after a nearby war memorial is destroyed to make way for an amusement park. With the undead and unamused troops killing everyone in their path, can the townsfolk put aside old prejudices and place their faith in an aborigine shaman who may hold the key to stopping the bloodbath? Earnest film offers some likeable heroes and dutifully jabs at ruthless buisness practices as well the disrepectful attitude once held towards Vietnam vets.

Splatometer rating: **1/2 out of ****

Choking Hazard - Attendees at a self-help retreat deep in the Czech forest come under attack by zombie woodsmen out for a ritual hunt. Metaphysics and gore collide with mixed results; the gleeful attitude helps.

Blood of the Zombie - Newlyweds travel to a Louisiana plantation the husband has inherited and run afoul of his nasty cousin who isn't above using a little voodoo to keep the place under her control. Hammerish outing offers a zombie who looks not a little like a jaundiced Keith Richards!

The mysteries of the past and future are revealed!

Unsettled - What really happened to a group of pilgrims who vanished in 1585 North Carolina? I'll give you a hint: this short film could have been titled A Zombie Thanksgiving. Not much of substance here but it does deliver the gory goods.

Zombie Planet II: Adam's Revenge - Sequel to Zombie Planet is, if not more polished than the original, certainly more exciting, despite the almost complete lack of zombies! The evil Adam conspires against the warrior Kane, whose dreadful past is revealed much to his horror. Cheesey but surprisingly entertaining.
