• Check out 14 pics from Doomsday

  The zombie flick genre is enjoying a nice renaissance these days, thanks in part to the hot-chicks-versus-viruses subgenre birthed by Milla Jovovich and the Resident Evil franchise.

  In Doomsday, the latest effort from Descent director Neil Marshall, a vicious plague known as "The Reaper Virus" threatens the whole of Great Britain. The hot chick tasked with battling it is Rhona Mitra, last seen in Mark Wahlberg's sniper thriller Shooter.

  Head over to our Doomsday page and click on the "Photos" tab to catch a glimpse of Rhona in action.

• First Look: Doomsday

  Neil Marshall's claustrophobic horror flick The Descent, about a group of hot chick spelunkers hunted by bloodthirsty cave-dwelling monsters, turned out to be the best-reviewed genre movie of 2006. Among other accolades, the UK-based writer/director drew acclaim for bucking a recent trend in genre films by making a horror flick that was actually scary. Imagine that.

  Marshall's highly anticipated follow-up, Doomsday, about a group of hot chicks battling a killer virus, is currently in production, with a release date set for sometime next year.

  Rogue Pictures recently unveiled an image from Doomsday, featuring a pair of scantily-clad women doing battle in some sort of hellish, virus-ravaged urban landscape. If this image is any indication of what we have to look forward to in the event of an actual killer virus epidemic, I say bring on Ebola!
