The Zombie Film Line Up for 2012:

12 hours, 6 features... All Zombie...

 

Our films so far are...

12 Noon - ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS (1979) ITALY: WORLD PREMIERE: HD REMASTERED VERSION

Dir: Lucio Fulci. Starring: Tisa Farrow, Ian McCulloch and Richard Johnson.

Lucio Fulci created the film that would challenge Romeros reign as King of the Zombies and for the first time on the Big Screen we are able to show the restored version before its release on Blu-Ray... From the sleazy video nasty vaults comes a movie so stained with controversy and moral indignation that the very mention of its name sends shudders down the spines of the weak stomached and censorious Zombie Flesh Eaters. A gut-munching, shark wrestling, eye-gouging orgy of topless skin divers, mud-caked undead terror and Italian splatter from the dark imagination of horror genius Lucio Fulci (The Beyond, City of The Living Dead).

An abandoned boat in New York Harbour unleashes a deadly flesh crazed Zombie cargo... A Young American woman and a journalist investigate a tropical island where a deadly disease is making the dead walk... Soon, thoughts of getting to the bottom of the murderous curse will be forgotten, as Fulci s walking corpses overwhelm the living and reports come in that the Big Apple is swarming with the living dead... After over thirty years, Zombie Flesh Eaters still has the power to shock and offend the unwilling... Check out this classic sadist video and revel in a wonderfully tasteless movie that once helped usher in a moral panic!

 

14.10 - MURALIM (2011) ISRAEL: UK PREMIERE PLUS a Programme of the Best Short Films...

Dir: David Lubetsky. Starring: David Shaul,Orna Shifris and Artur Perry.

Poisoned (Muralim in Hebrew) is a zombie comedy, filmed in Israel by David Lubetzky. An amazing slice of genre filming, made even more special considering that making horror films is a completely new concept in Israel... On this night, the army really marches on its stomach! Passover at the base can be a real blow. Especially if you are a gardener stuck with a psychopathic commander, you're high school crush has suddenly arrived and all the soldiers have become flesh-eating zombies.

Danny, being the only one left uninfected, runs for his life — until he finds out that he isn't the only survivor. Used to avoiding conflict, he now realizes that this time there is no escape. Danny is going to have to utilize his only skills in order to save himself and his love — gardening skills!

THE ESCHATRILOGY which is a trio of zombie shorts about the end of the world and it's effects on the family unit. The film boasts a huge cast and fantastic make up and special effects, it has also included nearly 350 locals and extras combined for the three films. Shot entirely on location in Sheffield and Barnsley.

This trilogy grows in tension throughout, showing different viewpoints of the same terrible events... It's starting point of a lone survivor ties the stories together beautifully until its builds to its shocking and inevitable conclusion, helping to make this an amazingly dark zombie film, but the fact it was completely shot on location in Sheffield and Barnsley brings home the terror with a very British taste to it...

 

21.30 - GANGSTERS, GUNS AND ZOMBIES (2012) UK First Screening, so Yes its a UK PREMIERE

A getaway driver for a group of hard core gangsters finds himself up against a slightly more unexpected enemy than the boys in blue when his latest job coincides with the start of a zombie apocalypse.
