Trailer released for the French Zombie movie The horde
The upcoming Independent French zombie movie The Horde is beginning to get quite a bit of attention after the release of its rather gruesome trailer.
France is becoming notorious for its ultra violent films, Frontières and Martyrs are prime examples, and just when I thought they couldn’t get any worse out pops The Horde.
The film is produced by the director of Frontières Xavier Gens and also stars some talented French actors who are relatively unknown outside their native country. There still hasn’t been a confirmed release date but the film is due to debut in the UK at the Frightfest on Friday 28th of August. I’m assuming that if the growing interest in the movie continues their will hopefully be a limited release in North America at some point, but for the rest of us we’ll have to wait for it to hit the shelves when it’s released on DVD.
Summary:
North of Paris. In order to avenge the murder of one of their own by a group of ruthless gangsters, four corrupt cops go on a rampage in a condemned building serving as the mobster’s hideout. Now trapped, the officers are about to be executed when the unimaginable occurs: hordes of rage-fueled zombies invade the building, savagely attacking everyone. The cops and mobsters are left with no choice but to join forces and fight off legions of the undead.
