In this new video breakdown, check out some of the expert visual effects that were added to The Walking Dead Season 2, from expanding a handful of walkers into a ravenous herd, to creating (and destroying) an entire city.

[REC] 3:Genesis 18/02/2012
I loved [REC] and [REC] 2 and I can not wait to see [REC] 3: Genesis. There is no US release date yet but the film will be open in Spain on 30th March, 2012. Check out the press blurb along with the trailer below... “In ‘[REC] 3: Genesis’ the action now takes place miles away from the original location and partly in broad daylight, giving the film an entirely fresh yet disturbing new reality. The infection has left the building. In a clever twist that draws together the plots of the first two movies, this third part of the saga also works as a decoder to uncover information hidden in the first two films and leaves the door open for the final installment, the future [REC] 4 Apocalypse. With this latest film, director Paco Plaza is pumping new blood into the [REC] franchise. The third chapter of the saga will have spectators back on the edge of their seats with more action and more humor that will take us back to the essence of the first film: true to life characters and scenarios that the audience can’t help but relate to. The happiest day of your life.” Run For Your Lives - Atlanta 17/02/2012

Today I would like to give a shout out to Simon Pegg as it's his birthday, and this also gives me an excuse to re-post one of the first reviews we did here on Zombiesdrule. The film is of course Shaun of the Dead and brought Pegg worldwide fame. Shaun of the Dead wasn't the first time Simon Pegg had a run in with zombies, in 1999 Pegg stared one of my favorite British TV series called Spaced. One of these episodes was called "Art" and was the inspiration for creating Shaun of the Dead. You can see a clip below, but be warn you may get hooked. Spaced also stars Nick Frost and was directed by Edgar Wright. The Walking Dead - Nebraska 14/02/2012
