AUTHOR DAVID WALTON
on One of Us

AUTHOR JACK KETCHUM
on Suffer the Children

DiLouie flavors Kipling’s “The Man Who Would Be King” with a dash of Joe Haldeman’s THE FOREVER WAR to create this rollicking military SF farce.

"Gripping ... DiLouie carefully recreates our society and our military ... then proceeds to bring the horror, devastation and heroes we require.

FANGORIA MAGAZINE

Writers like King, Lansdale and DiLouie invite us to view America through a glass smeared with dirt, blood and the mist of our own primal fear.

THE MAN WHO KILLED HITLER AND THEN BIGFOOT (2019)

THE MAN WHO KILLED HITLER AND THEN BIGFOOT (2019)

February 18, 2019 By Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

Starring the great Sam Elliott, THE MAN WHO KILLED HITLER AND THEN BIGFOOT (2019) sounds like fun, and it kind of is. Despite competent production and being full of heart, however, this disjointed film is also a bit of a letdown. The whole experience is kind of like being a kid told to get in the car cuz you’re going somewhere super fun, only to find out it’s the grocery store.

VELVET BUZZSAW (2019)

VELVET BUZZSAW (2019)

February 10, 2019 By Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

Horror movie/art world satire VELVET BUZZSAW (2019) works far better as satire than a horror film, but the result is a lot of fun in no small part due to solid performances from a terrific cast.

IN THE FLESH Season 2

IN THE FLESH Season 2

February 9, 2019 By Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

IN THE FLESH is an amazing British series about life after the zombie apocalypse. Told from the point of view of a zombie who has been cured and is now reintegrating into society, the series works as both an excellent drama and also for its themes of prejudice. It succeeds where its imitators like THE CURED failed. I recently finished the second season, which was as good as the first.

ALL ROADS END HERE by David Moody

ALL ROADS END HERE by David Moody

February 9, 2019 By Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

David Moody’s ALL ROADS END HERE is a very strong follow-up to ONE OF US WILL BE DEAD BY MORNING, the first in his second HATER trilogy, and in my opinion one of the strongest in the series.

KINGDOM (Series)

KINGDOM (Series)

February 9, 2019 By Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

Adapted for the screen from the webcomic series THE KINGDOM OF THE GODS, KINGDOM is a period drama series that rolls out like GAME OF THRONES meets THE WALKING DEAD set in medieval Korea–another terrific foreign series Netflix has added to its programming.
