'Versus' movies take on the world
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Would you Adam and Eve it? Next month sees the premiere of Cockneys vs Zombies, the latest in a long line of ridiculous mash-up movies that have been infiltrating cinemas ever since the success of Freddy vs Jason and Alien vs Predator almost a decade ago. More recently there have been Monsters vs Aliens (the charming DreamWorks take on the genre) and Jon Favreau's disappointing Cowboys and Aliens.
While the cast list of Cockneys vs Zombies, which gets its premiere at the Film4 FrightFest festival, may read like a who's who of who cares, it looks positively A-list next to some of the other forthcoming "vs" treats we can expect.
Horror king Clive Barker is currently scripting Zombies vs Gladiators, while the undead will also be going into battle in Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies (a mockbuster off the back of the recently released Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter). As well as going up against ancient tough guys and the 16th President of the United States, zombies get to take on a rather more exotic enemy in Zombies vs Strippers.
Strippers must be stronger than we thought because they can also be seen in Strippers vs Werewolves (incidentally, shame on you, Robert Englund. Shame on you). Naturally, they're all straight-to-DVD but it still raises the question: when can we expect Abraham Lincoln vs Strippers?
