Even more upcoming zombie goodness

December 3, 2009

I now officially declare Europe as the sovereign of the Zombie Movie Kingdom. As if Shaun of the Dead and Rec (and most probably Rec 2) weren’t enough, here are three more to whet your appetite for undead action.

First up is Zombies and Cigarettes, a Spanish movie. If there ever was a stereotypical name for a European zombie movie, this would be it. The movie looks very entertaining, with normal people instead of action heroes caught up in the situation.

Then there’s Mutants, a French one. Don’t let the name fool you, it’s a zombie movie. Is this a Danny Boyle thing again? Can’t tell much from the trailer, but from the few IMDb reviews, it seems to have a bit of psychological thriller in it too.

Now, I apologize for the mental image, but the following trailer of the French movie La Horde pretty much made me wet my pants in excitement.

What can I say? Just one word:

AWESOME.

  3. Mikko, I don’t know how things are in Finland, but La Horde has been out here for quite a few months now. I bought it on DVD almost as soon as it got a UK release. You are right about one thing – it is awesome. It’s one of the best zombie films I’ve seen in any language! Kudos to the French for making such a cool movie.
