on

S.N.U.B! is an action horror feature film from Shepperton Studios based Production Company Angry Badger Pictures directed by Jonathan Glendening. It arrives in the UK on DVD May 24. As well as the main feature, the UK DVD also includes 23 minute making-of documentary Behind The Blast Door along with a video tour of The Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker; an exclusive music video from rock band Tin Soldiers; audio commentary from Jonathan Glendening and co-writer/producer John Adams; and a web featurette about the Sony PMW-EX1 XD Cam camera system used to film S.N.U.B! Check out the synopsis below.
A junior minister in the British Government discovers a terrorist plot to detonate a nuclear device in London. Putting self-preservation first, he flees with a young American political advisor to a re-commissioned Secret Nuclear Underground Bunker – S.N.U.B. They find themselves entombed in the bunker with a disparate group of individuals caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The terrorist bomb is found, but attempts by bomb disposal experts fail to prevent it exploding, destroying central London and contaminating the surrounding countryside.

As a result of the blast a group of dangerous convicts break out from a local high security prison, but are contaminated with radiation and start to mutate. The mutants infiltrate the bunker and one by one the occupants endure a horrible, grisly death. Eventually one of the survivors escapes from the bunker to make contact with the outside world and a rescue helicopter is organised. But inside the S.N.U.B. the mutants are closing in. Not everyone will make it…

The fifth installment in the late George A. Romero’s zombie franchise, found footage horror movie Diary of the Dead is getting a new SteelBook Blu-ray on July 2 from Lionsgate.

Lionsgate lets us know in a press release this afternoon, “This gruesome fright flick is only available at Walmart on SteelBook Blu-ray for the suggested retail price of $24.99.”

In Diary of the Dead, Romero continues his influential “Dead” series, this time focusing on a terrified group of college film students who record the pandemic rise of flesh-eating zombies.

Luiz H.C. wrote about the 2008 zombie movie here on Bloody Disgusting a few years back, calling it an underrated movie in Romero’s filmography. Luiz wrote, “Diary of the Dead is far from Romero’s greatest work, but it’s still worth watching after all these years.”

His article continued, “The subtext is still on point, the zombies are still scary and there’s no beating that chilling apocalyptic atmosphere. So, whether you’re a zombie enthusiast, Found Footage fan or just a casual horror hound up for some socially conscious thrills, I wholeheartedly recommend digging this one up. The revolution may not be televised, but if the late, great George A. Romero is to be believed, it might just show up online.”

“And I think that’s a relevant message for these troubling times,” Luiz added.
