Ok, to be totally honest this one is me cheaping out big time and just going with a film that really, really panders to my tastes.

There is a trope often seen in horror, one likely older than written language. That trope amounts to this: STAY THE FUCK ON THE BEATEN PATH BECAUSE HOLY SHIT WILL YOU BE MURDERED IF YOU DON’T!

Peter Jackson is another of my favorite directors. Over the last decade or so he’s made a name for himself as the auteur responsible for big, bombastic, highly profitable fantasy films with his adaptations of The Lord of the Rings, King Kong and the Hobbit.

They beat him with chains and crucify him in the basement, before in a final act of furious cruelty they throw quicklime in his face.

The Antarctic. Thousands of miles of absolute desolation, a place where we and all the things we take comfort in are utterly unfit to surive.

In many ways it’s like being on another planet, you’re cut off from civilization, living only with a huddled handful of your fellow creatures with little enough to remind you of a home that seems a million miles away.

Zombi 2 is as mentioned in the discussion of Zombi Holocaust a sort of unofficial sequel to Dawn of the Dead, or perhaps an unofficial prequel.
