Yiheeee.. Who aren't fearful about the idea of entering a horror house or a zombie apocalypse? Well, I haven't been inside a horror house ever since and the idea of zombies? I just remembered the movie "Warm Bodies" where a zombie became mortal when he fell in love with a girl after eating her boyfriend's brain. However, all the fear can turn into fun here in Manila since the new horror theme park, 'Scream Park' opened last December. It is located near World Trade Center and will be open to terrify Filipinos, even foreign visitors, only until the end of March 2014. There are three attractions as of now, first is the Vigan-inspired street with a lot of zombies wearing Filipinia costumes. The main attraction is the horror house maze that will last around 15-20 minutes. Even though you're tough, I'm sure this maze will make you scream and shout, so better prepare your heart. Then, the last maze is outdoors which is the cemetery maze. Also a reminder that no taking of picture is allowed in the three mazes. By the way, all the zombies are good performers as well and they'll do a dance number for all the visitors inside the bar.

When I first heard about this movie, i thought it was an action film that would bore me and just because it was Brad Pitt in the lead role so I must watch. Before we head to the cinema, I've been reading a lot of tweets and FB posts that it is such a good film so those convinced me to watch. At the very start of the movie, the character of Brad Pitt as Gerry Lane was shown as a family man, with wife and two kids, both girls. He was so handsome with his long blonde hair and clear blue eyes. Then came the zombie outbreak... yes.., at the beginning of the movie it was already full of suspense and thrill. Those who were bitten by zombies will become one as well in a matter of 8 seconds. Gerry's journey began when he needs to find a cure to the pandemic and discovered that a 'camouflage' was the answer. He found out that the zombies only feed on healthy human bodies and ignore people with deadly disease. In the end, a vaccine with deadly but curable pathogens were developed and was injected to the people and to the troops that are battling against the mass of zombies.

Although there were lots of zombie apocalypse movies out there, I still find this one enjoyable and thrilling because it has a different story. Plus factor is that Gerry Lane is such an ideal husband and father, who will do everything for the sake of his family.
