One flick I really don’t know what to think of is the French zombie flick THE HORDE. Everywere I turn people are saying how awesome this thing is and how it’s highly acclaimed yet a few of the reviews I’ve seen have called it mediocre at best. That means only one thing, I’m going to have to check this little diddy out for myself to decide. Why don’t you do the same?
When might you be able to do that you ask? Well I’ve got the answer for you! News today has the international zombie romp finally hitting DVD here in the US courtesy of IFC on December 21st! Right in time for Christmas! How would you like finding this little gem under your tree? We’ve also got a list of the special features that’ll be included on the DVD. Check it: Alternate Opening, Making-of featurette, Short Film Rivoallan, Deleted Scenes, Drawing Studies for the zombies and sets, Poster Projects, Storyboard Extracts, French Teaser, and the US Trailer. Not too shabby huh? And just in case you need a refresher, here’s the synopsis:
A posse of crooked cops, malevolent gangsters and a horde of walking dead are the centre point of this gruesome, tight, action packed, claustrophobic tale of retribution and escape. Penned like animals, on the top floor of a deserted high-rise block, these two opposing gangs find that they are not alone in the lair of bloodthirsty corridors of death. Joining forces to survive, they must reach ground level together or perish. Loaded with a bad ass attitude, guns, axes and extremely creative hand-to-hand combat sequences that project the fears and paranoia that are the fighting forces behind the need to survive, when caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
THE HORDE comes at us from directors Yannick Dahan and Benjamin Rocher and will be hitting DVD shelves on December 21st, so be sure to add it to your Christmas lists!
