Zombies in Playground

Here’s a simple piece of promo art for THE DEVIL’S PLAYGROUND, which is yet another apocalyptic zombie movie. Not that I’m getting sick of them, mind. Zzzzzz…. Huh? Oh, sorry.

Anyway, it stars Craig Fairbrass (CLIFFHANGER) as a man trying to locate the one woman who may hold the key to a killer virus that is turning the world into zombies. Apparently the zombies will be portrayed by “free runners”, in a move aimed at giving them a wider range of movement than usual for this genre. (Although they seem pretty flexible to me in DAWN OF THE DEAD ’04.)
