Think of the greatest terror imaginable. Is it a monstrous alien? A lethal epidemic? Or, as in this harrowing masterpiece from Stanley Kubrick, is it fear of murder by someone who should love and protect you - a member of your own family? From a script he co-adapted from the Stephen King novel, Kubrick melds vivid performances, menacing settings, dreamlike tracking shots and shock after shock into a milestone of the macabre. In a signature role, Jack Nicholson ("Heeeere's Johnny!") plays Jack Torrance, who's come to the elegant, isolated Overlook Hotel as off-season caretaker with his wife and son. Torrance has never been there before - or has he? The answer lies in a ghostly time warp of madness and murder.

But as people begin to become infected, the survivors realise that the virus is turning them into the walking dead.

Director Marc Price's British zombie horror, made on a micro-budget of 45 pounds, told from the zombie's perspective. Alastair Kirton stars as Colin, a young man who joins the ranks of the living dead after being attacked by a zombie. Through his encounters with objects, places and people, the film shows who Colin was and, more pertinently, what he has now become. Although more thoughtful than most zombie films, there's still plenty of gruesome shocks on offer, and this small, independent effort was a big hit at 2009's Frightfest film festival. |
