Blu-ray & DVD: Cargo (2017) The zombie genre has been done to death (pun intended) with variations in how fast they walk/run, and changes in their names: zombies, infected, virals.

Written, directed and starring the great John Landis (albeit in a prehistoric ape ‘Schlocktropus’ suit), Schlock is a very low budget movie that is a quirky homage to 1950’s monster movies (even including footage of The Blob). Not only did Schlock kickstart the career of Landis, it was also a pivotal point for Rick Baker too…mostly due […]
