If you love zombie films you most likely have a love of B films as well. Let’s be honest zombies are one of the staples of B horror movies. So when we’re hearing about space zombies in B movie format? Well we’re always happy to give you an update. So what we have is is: Above is the latest teaser trailer for Ombis. Below we have the latest update on the film and an interview with special effects supervisor Phill Beith who has a production update for you to check out.
Currently in production is DefTone Pictures Studios’ alien invasion film Ombis: a 1950’s styled sci-fi movie set in modern times. Ombis is a tale of an invasion of an alien virus which lands via meteorite in the small town of Metzburgh. Metzburgh is a former industrial town whose glory days are long past but whose residents are carrying on with their daily lives: loving each other and living life as best they can. In the midst of this idealistic backdrop, enter the hideous virus Ombis which is intent on taking over the planet Earth and changing its residents into a host for a new species. The only thing that can stop Ombis is Nemesis, an alien from the same home planet as the virus and who was sent here to contain the alien scourge. The Nemesis’ disregard for the human race puts him in a position to ensure that the Ombis virus will be eradicated since he doesn’t care about collateral damage and will use any means necessary to destroy his enemy. The real story of Ombis, however, is the human struggle of the residents of Metzburgh: to fight for their village and for their very survival.
The cast and crew of Ombis have been traveling around the Western New York area gathering interest in the film while the production is in full swing. During The Buffalo Comic and Pop Culture Con, they met up with John Amplas star of George A Romero’s Martin, Day of the Dead, Creepshow and the film that inspired Writer/Director Adam R Steigert into the film business: Dawn of the Dead.
