TELEVISION GUIDE Wednesday June 27 to Tuesday July 3, 2012 Highlights this week The weekend is a mixed bag – probably containing a human head – for horror fans: 1. In his 2004 debut director Zack Snyder reprises George Romero’s 1978 horror classic, Dawn of the Dead (7Mate, Sunday, 9.45pm). Sarah Polley and Ving Rhames are two of the last remaining people on an Earth ravaged by flesh-eating zombies – you get that. Of course they end up in a shopping mall, loaded up with weaponry, and hope to escape to a zombiefree island, probably Fiji. Lacks the social satire of the original and so should be followed by a viewing of Shaun of the Dead. 2. Gabriel Byrne and Arnold Schwarzenegger go head-to-head in End Of Days (Go! Sunday, 9.30pm). Byrne is Satan, naturally, and Arnie is Arnie. God knows why Satan is always after a woman to have his child but there you have it. Michael Atkinson of Village Voice sums it up thus: ‘85 per cent explosions and editing idiocy (a window can’t break without director Peter Hyams cutting between five different angles) and 15 per cent Arnold trying to grow a third dimension.’ This North Coast NSW television guide is brought to you by the team that produce these great publications:
