Another Dutch zombie flick, New Kids Nitro, hits European screens this week

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

I love this story. After posting an article about a Dutch zom-com called ZOMBIBI not even 24 hours ago, a kindly European reader by the name of Kris Vandeweijer has generously alerted us of another such flick. This one – called NEW KIDS NITRO – entered theaters this week. If so inclined, take a peek at the trailer for the fun looking zom-com below!

Written and directed by Steffen Haars and Flip Van der Kuil – NEW KIDS NITRO follows Gerrie, Richard, Rikkert, Robbie and Barry from Maaskantje, who are all in a big fight with the village of Schijndel. When a zombie kills someone from Brabant, things get out of hand.

Trust me, the trailer will give you a better idea of what we’re dealing with, tonally and diegetically. Not sure which I’d rather see, this or ZOMBIBI, but I love the mix of dark humor, slapstick and over-the-top gore the Dutch are demonstrating in their work. Mighty good shite!

Stay here as we work for a North American release date for NEW KIDS NITRO.
