McGillivray is always fun to watch and listen to, very sardonic and dry, but I like his humour, and his sharp recollection of fine details from years past is always enlightening. |
SFX is a mainstream mag and the review is for everyone not just the people who know cult films. So the comment actually makes sense.
There are a lot of people who like the zombie films and make pick this up because of that and know little about those names or what they did.
I was a journalist. His comment was correct, he's reviewing for the general public. Great review by SFX
