A psychic buried alive… A mysterious vision… A hanged priest and a prediction of Zombie fuelled apocalypse. Can anything be done to save man from gut-munching oblivion? In the sleepy village of Dunwich, the dead are rising, local girls are vomiting entrails and the town misfit is about to get his brains drilled out. Will they find a way to stop the rotting hordes before everyone in town gets devoured? Dare you watch this eye-scorching trip into flesh-splattered zombie insanity from the King of Euro-Terror?
**UK PREMIERE** DEAD GENESIS **UK PREMIERE**
Dir: Reece Eveneshen. Canada. 2011. 95 mins. Cert 18.
'The War on Dead Begins' This movie is simply brilliant, the acting, atmosphere and changes in pace are truly stunning… “ The War on Dead is viewed through the eyes of a documentarian who travels with a rag-tag hunting pack that seeks out hordes of the flesh eating undead.” http://www.possibilityfilmsinc.com/deadgenesisthemovie.com/
THE DEAD
Dir: The Ford Brothers. UK. 2010. 101 mins. Cert 18.
When his flight out of war-torn Africa crashes, American Air Force Engineer Brian Murphy emerges as the sole survivor in a land where the dead are returning to life and attacking the living. On the run in a landscape, where sudden death lurks around every sun-burnished corner, Murphy has to use his wits and ingenuity if he is to get home alive to his family. When Murphys path clashes with that of Sergeant Daniel Dembele whose village has been torn apart by the reanimated dead, they join forces. The two desperate men from two very different cultures fight side by side to survive across the incredible vistas of Africa as the world succumbs to the deadliest of viruses. In the first zombie road movie set against the spectacular vistas of Africa, the Dark Continent becomes a dead zone.
HAROLDS GOING STIFF
Dir. Keith Wright. UK. 2011. 76 mins. Cert 18
Harold's Going Stiff is an independent feature film written & directed by Keith Wright and produced by Richard Guy.

Harold's hermit-like existence is shaken up when a vivacious nurse, Penny Rudge, is sent along to alleviate his stiffness. Her ‘special' massage techniques work a treat on Harold and they become close friends. Word soon gets out about his infection, and before long a small group of bloodthirsty thugs are pursuing Harold and Penny across dramatic moorlands in the hope of a kill. http://www.stiffmovie.com/
