I’m one of the bigger Neil Marshall fanboys on Earth, but DOOMSDAY (or NIGHT OF THE LIVING MAD MAX) has me worried. It doesn’t look good, and Malcolm McDowell’s is big a sign of failure as any.

I… I have to stand by Neil Marshall. He’s never done me wrong before. It could be that rather than a dark, disturbing psychological horror movie, or a buddy war movie with werewolves in it, he’s just interested in making a fun, ridiculous post-apocalyptic action movie! And I have to believe that, if that is his intention, he’s going to do it well.
I just have to believe. Because I love him.
That way.
