MUNCHIN ON SOME INNARDS By: SASHA SLAUGHTER

Hey there Chesters!! Seen any stinky cops stuffed into a dress lately? Hope not! If you do, run bitch run!! Ok, anyway..Today I'll be doing another series review. I'll be telling you a little about Fear Itself episode 6 (but on netflix it's episode 8...whatev) New Years Day. Of course you all know if you've been paying attention that the series was aired on NBC in the summer of 08 and it was created by Mick Garris. And this episode is actually based on a short story called The Dead Time by Paul Kane. New Years Day was written by Steve Niles and Ben Sokolowski and directed by Darren Lynn Bousman. So let me tell you a little more about it.

Helen wakes up on New Year's Day with a wicked hangover, an empty bottle of pills, and half of a bottle of liquor on her bed. She hears alarms going off all over the city and soon learns of a cataclysmic explosion at a local power plant that has turned half of the population into zombies. Helen is looking for her roommate Eddie when she sees her neighbor Mrs. Pribble all bloody and banging her head against a wall. She turns to run when she sees Eddie. He collapses onto the ground and dies and Helen decides to get out of the building. Her friend Chrissie calls her and tells her to come to their friend James' place because it's safe. As Helen wanders around the city hoping to get to her friends, her memory of the previous night returns.

Hoping to distract her from the recent death of her brother, Helen's roommate Eddie invites her to a New Year's Eve party, and tells her that James, a mutual friend whom she is attracted to, will be there. At the party she finds her estranged best friend Chrissie, whom she had since lost contact with since her brothers death. Chrissie apologizes for not being there and Helen thanks for her being the only person at the party who truly cares about her. Chrissie starts acting strangely and starts to tell Helen something and stops. Later that night she runs into James and tells him that she loves him when the power goes out he tells her he will be right back.

She finds Eddie outside and tells him that she confessed her feelings to James. He tries to keep her outside and distract her and eventually tells her that James doesn't love her. He kisses Helen and asks her if it's obvious. She runs back to the party to find Chrissie and James kissing. She remembers the last part of the night the following morning when she finally arrives at James' apartment. She breaks down the door and finds Chrissie screaming. Just then James shoots Helen in the back and....

That's all I'm tellin ya and I'm not tellin ye anymore! If you want to know what happens, check out Fear Itself: New Year's Day. Yay! This was about my favortie thing! Imagine my excitement when I realized it about zombies...boner alert! I actually enjoyed this episode. There was no cursing, no nudity, nothing like that, but it didn't really need it. It had creepy zombies with neck problems (watch it and you'll know what I mean), blood, and intestines! What's not to like?

I will say though the end totally surprised me! I was wondering about the empty bottle of pills and why zombies never attacked the character of Helen....ok, I won't say anymore. But the plot twist really was great, I never even saw that coming. Overall I'd give New Year's Day a 3.5 out of 5. 

The acting was pretty good, the zombies were decent, there was some blood and guts too! I think what made me rate it that high was the ending. It was actually kinda sweet in a twisted way. And hey, since you're here, how about you go and peep out what Zane has going on in his twisted corner of the blog? I'm sure you'll like it!
