  1. Happy New Year to you too B-Sol.

    What a list. Particularly interested in House of Re-Animator, The Grudge 3 and Poes Legeia. Hmmm, Pet Sematary has potential but the first one did capture the spirit, so to speak, of the book. But, good Lord what is Brad Pitt up to? Let's hope he is one of the zombies. *smiles*

  2. I think Pitt will actually be playing the role of the interviewer, which in the book World War Z is the main character who is scouring the globe collecting testimonials about the Zombie War.
