EZC Presents : Token Zombie Film Night

EDINBURGH ZOMBIE CLUB PRESENTS
TOKEN ZOMBIE FILM NIGHT
featuring…
NIGHTMARE  CITY (1980, dir. Umberto Lenzi)
A mysterious plane lands in an Italian airport, disgorging a bunch of radioactive, tooled up zombies, who overwhelm the cops and spread mayhem across the city. These are no ordinary zomibes, they can drive, shoot guns and lay traps and conquer the city with the ruthless efficiency of an invading army.
You could see it as a salient warning over the use of nuclear power, but in fact it’s just ridiculous, unrelenting gory fun.
WILD ZERO (2000, dir. Tetsuro Takeuchi)
Only legendary Japanese garage rock band Guitar Wolf can stand between a race of aliens from destroying earth with an army of zombies.
A piece of preening insanity, this features guitar/flamethrower combos, hordes of zombies, a UFO plus a drinking game that can be played along with it.

EZC Presents – George Kennedy Night

EDINBURGH ZOMBIE CLUB PRESENTS
GEORGE KENNEDY NIGHT
FEATURING…
 ***PLEASE NOTE WE ARE ONE DAY EARLY THIS MONTH, NORMAL SERVICE WILL BE RESUMED IN JANUARY***
NIGHTMARE AT NOON (1988, dir. Nico Mastorakis)
A small town is a victim of a fiendish govenment experiment to test a new biologcal warfare agent on the hapless population, which turns them into homicidal maniacs. Kennedy’s on fine form here as the local sheriff, who teams up wth some out of towners to fight the zombiefied townsfolk and the sinister forces of the state.
An effective, at times outrageous and outlandish action film by Greek director Nico Mastorakis, who also made Island of Death, though we can’t promise goat molestation this time round but it does have lots of gun battles, car crashes, explosions and exploding helicopters to make up for it.
DEMONWARP (1988, dir. Emmett Alston)
Demonwood Forest. Dark. Mysterious. As old as Earth itself. Its brooding silence is only broken by the howling winds- and blood curdling screams! Welcome to the land of Demonwarp, a horrifying chasm between light and shadow, ancient fear and future shock, the living and the undead…
George Kennedy stars as Will Crafton, a vengeance bent hunter searching for the ominious creature that carried his daughter off months before. Into Crafton’s stalking grounds come a group of young campers on a quest of their own. Trapped in the green hell of Demonwood Forest, Crafton and the youths come face to face with a host of primeval and extraterresterial horrors, including a Bigfoot like manimal of nightmarish rage, an unstoppable army of zombie slaves and a venomous alien.
A truly demented slice of everything but the kitchen sink horror, Demonwarp has pretty much everything you could want in a film, including the aforementioned Bigfoot, zombies plus a ton of gore. Did we mention the Satanists and evil priest?

EZC Presents Mentalist Martial Arts Night

Posted in Movie night on November 26th, 2011 by admin – Be the first to comment
Taoism Drunkard (1984, dir Yuen Cheung-Yan)
Any attempt to explain the plot of Taoism Drunkard would ultimately prove as futile as it is utterly unnecessary.  Directed by and starring the brother of legendary martial arts choreographer Yuen Wo Ping, it is 89 minutes of no-budget non-stop kung fu chaos.  What more could you ask for than a drunken kung fu priest who drives around town in a small wicker rat? A wannabe hustler attempting to woo a grieving widow by dressing as a 6ft flaccid dildo (but is thwarted by a bad case of crabs), and a transvestite grandmother who’s unorthodox style of kung fu is at its most deadly after a few tokes on her trusty hash pipe, or when wielding a ridiculously massive cardboard sword?
Not to mention what must be cinema’s most chilling and ferocious rubber suited monster, straight from the bowels of hell itself, the unstoppable cock-hungry Banana Monster.
All of which is packaged together with plenty of surprisingly inventive and energetic kung fu, and cheekily (if not necessarily accurately) subtitled for comedy value by someone you presume probably should know better.  Words simply cannot do justice to this sadly neglected classic of 80s Hong Kong nonsense!
Undefeatable (1993, dir. Godfrey Ho)
Godfrey Ho has been responsible for no less than 120 of the most jaw droppingly dreadful – yet incredibly entertaining – motion pictures never seen, and is widely considered the Chinese Ed Wood.
He pulled out all the stops for 1993’s Undefeatable, an East meets West martial arts epic of uncompromising ineptitude starring none other than 5 time World Karate champion Cynthia Rothrock herself.  Here she’s thoroughly upstaged by the psychotic permed-mullet of serial rapist Stingray, who’s every appearance on screen proves more hilarious than the last, culminating in a series of astounding ear gougingly over the top fight scenes.  A worthy contender for best bad movie ever.
As always, we’ll be at the Banshee Labyrinth from 7pm and entry is free!

EZC Podcast – When Animals Attack!

Posted in Podcast on October 23rd, 2011 by admin – Be the first to comment

A more subdued and less controversial podcast this time around. Also, sadly, it’s quite a ty.bit shorter than it should be due to technical difficulties so you’ll not hear us discussing Wild Beasts or During Barty’s Party. Ho hum.

EZC Presents – Trains of Terror

Posted in Movie night on October 17th, 2011 by admin – Be the first to comment

HORROR EXPRESS (1972, dir. Eugenio Martin)
In the early 1900s, anthropologist Alexander Saxton (Christopher Lee) unearths in China what he believes to be the scientific find of the new century: the centuries-old frozen body of a gigantic ape-like man, a veritable “missing link.” Booking a ticket on the train back to Europe with his crated-up, but still very healthy discovery, he joins an international group of passengers on a nightmarish adventure aboard the Horror Express, including a game of discovery with rival scientist Dr. Wells (Peter Cushing).
Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Telly Savalas as a Cossack, a Rasputin-esque evil monk and a rampaging caveman, all on a train. What more could you want in a film?

AMOK TRAIN aka BEYOND THE DOOR 3 (1989, dir.Jeff Kwitny)
A group of America college students travel to Serbia to witness an ancient ritual. Unbeknownst to them, one of their number is the Chosen One of a Satanic cult, who will stop at nothing to ritually mate her with The Big Man Down Stairs. Soon, they’re fleeing for their lives on a runaway train that has been hijacked by an infernal power.
Features Bo Svenson as a creepy professor, some top notch toothless hag action, dwarves, gypsies, Eastern European sterotypes that would shame Borat and surprisingly good special effects and cinematography.

(Can’t find a trailer)
