Dawn of the Lead

Wow, it’s been a while since I posted anything on zombies. While the zombie world is pretty much obsessed with the upcoming Walking Dead tv series, it doesn’t mean that it’s the only interesting thing on the radar. I’ve talked plenty of times about Europeans solidly dominating the zombie movie scene at the moment, and I’m happy to say that there seems to be what looks like a worthy addition, this time from Germany.

Judging from the trailer, Toxic Lullaby looks and feels very much like 28 Days Later. The story (as lifted from the official site and run through Google Translate and my mad high school German skills) is standard zombie flick fare:

Eloise wakes up after a drug binge in a broken and hostile world. Separated from her friends she learns to survive in a bizarre reality . The world around her is in chaos. She learns that the reason for this is grounded in a financial crisis and the speculation about the last food resources and their total destruction. The use of biological weapons spread among the people a virus that has turned  them into dangerous mutants.

Caught in this desperate situation, Eloise joins a group of people as they are driven by the desire to escape this nightmare.

Nothing new there, but the trailer looks very very cool.

Toxic Lullaby appears to be coming out on DVD on September 11 this year.
