It’s quite rare for the creator of a genre to also be the one responsible for making the most iconic entries within that genre, but I think it’s safe to say that the late, great George A. Romero remains unmatched as the master of zombified horror. Even after decades of remakes and homages like Shaun […]

The Freaker Apocalypse: Why ‘Days Gone’ Is a Much Better Zombie Game Than It Was Given Credit For

Out of all possible human experiences, combat is one of the most easily gamified. However, there are only so many times that a player can be urged to decapitate NPCs before some uncomfortable questions start to creep in about the sadistic nature of finding entertainment in simulated murder. That’s why zombies are so prevalent in […]

“Lesson one… You never go anywhere alone, unless you’ve got no choice. And lesson two… only travel during daylight, unless you’ve got no choice.” In June of 2003, Danny Boyle unleashed hell upon Americans with 28 Days Later.

A Low-Budget Ratpocalypse – The Underrated NYC Horror Movie ‘Mulberry Street’

Apocalyptic infection flicks rarely show the initial chaos of their respective outbreaks. In fact, most zombie movies tend to skip over the downfall of civilization entirely, focusing on what happens after society has already collapsed. And even when these stories dare to take place during the immediate aftermath of a global crisis, most filmmakers (like […]

‘Resident Evil’ – The Original Movie Looks Pretty Damn Good 20 Years Later

October 19, 2022 Luiz H. C. Editorials, George Romero, Longform, Movies, Paul W.S. Anderson, Resident Evil, Zombie

The Resident Evil franchise is responsible for some of the most chilling moments in interactive media, forcing players to confront man-eating biohazards since the mid 90s. This massive success is ongoing, with new sequels and remakes releasing pretty much every year, but what I think is amazing is that this series of games with little […]

In this edition of The Silver Lining, we’ll be covering Johannes Roberts’ videogame adaptation, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City! The Resident Evil franchise is the undisputed king of the survival horror genre. Sure, the overarching plot of these games makes less sense the more you think about them, but in a series that has […]

The Night Comes For Us: Why Techland’s Zombie RPG ‘Dying Light’ Delivered on the Promise of ‘Dead Island’

As a selling point, that now-infamous E3 trailer for Techland’s zombie RPG Dead Island was an all-timer. Unfortunately, the game itself fell a fair bit short of expectations. It’s not to say Dead Island was particularly bad. It was disappointingly ordinary and riddled with technical hitches, but there was something in its island resort setting, […]
