[BD Review] Brad Has A Blast With ‘World War Z’ Until It Loses Steam
Paramount Pictures’ World War Z comes out tomorrow, June 21st. And while it might have had a troubled production, it’s nowhere near the disaster people thought it might be. In fact, it seems that most people I’ve talked to really like the movie, and I count myself among them. It doesn’t always make a whole lot of sense, but it’s certainly passable. Brad (Mr. Disgusting) dug it as well, even though he thought the 3rd act was pretty weak. I actually think the film got better as it got smaller – but to each their own!
“It’s really a treat to see Brad Pitt starring in something this risky and, even with the lackluster finale, ‘World War Z’ still manages to deliver. If anything, horror fans should expect a mindless popcorn muncher jam-packed with incredible set pieces.”

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
