Just when you thought you’d seen it all in the zombie genre, a film comes along that appears to shake what it is to be a zombie film off its foundation. Hence appears to be the case with the German flick RAMMBOCK, scheduled to hit the Cannes film market May 14th & 16th.
Written by Benjamin Hessler and directed by Marvin Kren, RAMMBOCK goes a little something like this: Just when Michael arrives in Berlin to visit his ex-girlfriend Gabi, a terrible virus starts spreading across the city at a rapid pace, turning people into mindless homicidal maniacs. Much to Michael’s concern, Gabi’s not home; instead, he meets Harper, a teenage plumber’s apprentice at work in her apartment block. Together, they manage to barricade themselves when raging hordes of infected people swarm the building. Surrounded by these thirsty zombies, Michael and Harper have their hands full to survive – and it will take all of their ingenuity to make their way out to try and find Gabi.
Ok, so it’s not new or innovative in its design, but just check out the trailer below and tell me that it doesn’t, at the very least, look awesome. The cinematography, the production values, the peeps in front of the camera giving it their all, and let’s not ignore the special effects. These zombies look effed up!
That said, you can check out a few new images for the flick below as well as the trailer, and then cross your fingers for RAMMBOCK to do well at the Cannes film market. This is one flick that demands distribution!
