Wow. Just, wow…. What can I say about a movie called NIGHT OF THE LIVING JEWS that isn’t already said by the title?
Brought to us by the tellingly-named “Semiconscious Films” (as in, “that was our state of mind on the birthday of this idea – after 4 six-packs and 10 bong hits”) NIGHT OF THE LIVING JEWS is about – well, I’ll let the Official Site do the explaining (just so I’m not called an anti-semite):
On a dark night in a small farmhouse miles away from civilization a family is threatened by a force so evil, so sinister, so… Jewish.
On the first night of Passover the residents of a remote Jewish bungalow colony are turned into flesh eating zombies by matzoh with a dark history. In the hunt for human flesh, the zombies descend on an unsuspecting family in their quiet farmhouse. The loving mother (Alexandra Angeloch), father (Phillip Levine), along with their rascally son James (Adam Forrest) and naively seductive teenage daughter Sally (Sierra DeCrosta), have to tap into their deepest survival instincts to battle Hasidic zombies, killer payos (that’s right, those little curly side-burns), and antler-sporting zombie rabbis. It’s really the beginning of the end when a fairly tall but not so dark stranger (Nate Earl), who knows the situation all too well, miraculously appears. Journey through their hellish night of terror, romance, and a frighteningly non-kosher diet.
I’ve really got to thank Dread Central for bringing this thing to my attention, because I’d hate to think of a life lived without knowlege of such a project…
It’s hard to name my favorite part of that synopsis: the rabbi’s with antlers, maybe. Perhaps that it takes place in “remote Jewish bungalow colony” which almost sounds futuristic. No matter – this movie exists, and we want more of it! Check out the official site HERE. Hold on to your yarmulkes!
(Fun fact: if you join the mailing list, you’re informed “you’ll be up to your pupik in shmutz.” Man I hope the creators of this are Jewish…)
Night of the Living HOT!
