It seems as if the smaller distributors are taking more of a chance with zombie films (I wonder why) and we’re getting more of a chance to see them on the big screen! Remember folks if you have the chance to support indie/smaller houses like this there is more of a chance we’ll see them getting small and wide releases in general. Soooo that being said if you are interested in the film (trailer is at the bottom) and this is being shown near you – please see it!

ZOMBIE DAWN is an action horror Spanish language film that has won praise for its presentation and kudos for the film makers in assembling such a feature while working with only a micro budget. The film recently won awards at the Zixion Sars film festival in Chile for directors Cristian Toledo and Lucio A. Rojas, and art direction.
Glowing reviews are in for ZOMBIE DAWN:
“ZOMBIE DAWN is low budget zombie horror done right. It has that gritty feel as if it were made right about the same time as DAWN OF THE DEAD while embracing films like Peckinpah and the old spaghetti westerns by focusing on a morally grey merc and his men.” AINITCOOL.COM
“‘Zombie Dawn’ Arrives in America with Originality, Micro-Budgeting” YAHOO!
“The passion for the genre is here, down to the trigger happy ‘good guys’…there’s a cultish charm to everything” INDIEWIRE.COM
Film premise: In 2006 a mysterious incident at a remote mining facility unleashes a zombie horde with an appetite for human flesh. It decimates large portions of the cities and countryside. The only course of action is to rapidly enclose the infected areas and seal them off from the rest of the remaining, living population. Now, 15 years later the tattered remains of the government and the mining corporation responsible where the initial event took place commit themselves to finding out what may have happened at the mining complex. The solution is to covertly send in a group of mercenaries led by a cynical but no-nonsense Colonel and investigative scientists into the quarantined zone to find answers.
