Codex Atanicus
Codex Atanicus is a three story anthology by Spanish director Carlos Atanes. Before watching the movie I never heard of the guy, but the introduction video on the DVD by one of his regular actresses Arantxa Peņa made me realize that I'm in for a hell of a ride. Experimental, bizarre, sick, strange - these are some of the words that describe the stories contained in Codex Atanicus. The anthology is opened by a 20 minute short from 1995 called Metaminds & Metabodies. I am really not into this kind of experimental videos, but I will try to summarize. It opens with a girl singing in the club. Everything looks ultra underground and the girl is connected with some wires to the walls. Strange people are watching her...

Movie Review: City of Rott

Story
A city is consumed by flesh eating worms that dig into the brain of the victim and turn them into hungry, menacing zombies. An elderly man named Fred, along with his trusty talking walker comb the city in search of a new pair of slippers and a bite to eat while trying to survive a zombie overthrow in the City of Rott.

Comments
Writer, Director, Producer, Editor, Composer and Actor Frank Sudol put alot of time and effort into making this movie entirely by himself doing all the voices of the living, and although this movie drags on for a little over an hour it's pretty damn cool. The animation isn't that shabby and the action scenes are pretty sweet.

Fred, a senile old man on the hunt for a new pair of slippers finds that he's one of the only survivors in a zombie uprising due to mind consuming worms that zombify anyone that they come in contact with. Armed only with his walker, who he has constant argumentative conversation with, he kicks all the zombie ass that gets inbetween him and his new slippers. Along the way he runs into a freshly bitten Nurse looking for help, a fat guy named Jon, who's only looking out for himself, an old man with a bottle of prune juice, and a buttload of zombies. Will he find a new pair of slippers to put on his aching dogs? Will the zombies consume him and turn him into a flesh eating fogy? Will his walker ever shut up? Watch to find out.

Saying anything else would give alot away so if your into twisted horror cartoons give it a shot. Personally, I'd like watching this with a bit of Cannibal Corpse in the background, especially during the good action scenes.

Final Comments
This movie is definately worth watching being that there's not many horror cartoons on the shelves that arent anime or edited. I suggest this movie for all zombie movie fans.
