fedz is a british crime thriller movie starring ashley walters ( so solid crew ) , dexter fletcher ( lock , stock and two smoking barells ) and joseph marcell ( jeffrey the butler from the fresh prince of bel air ) . the movie is set in london , just a few years from now , the government have enforced a curfew – no civilians on the streets after dark . a terrorist group have threatened to release a killer virus . time is running out for the fedz . the movie is set to hit cinemas in the autumn .
“it is normal for the [ film ] industry to fund their own people , people that look like them , because they want to see themselves on the screen and tv , ” says q , who recently released his new film , fedz , in which he also stars .
nicky attended sylvia young theatre school , with a passion for acting and performing landed himself numerous roles in theatre , television , film and radio including 1xtra , the bill , holby city as well as working alongside ashley walters in the film fedz and as will johnson in holby city and emmerdale .
fedz tells the story of renegade scotland yard agent mike jones , who turns his back on a corrupt police force – including a stream of turncoat former partners – going vigilante in the name of protecting london against a slew of gangsters , crooked cops and even a terrorist plot to release a deadly virus .
fedz , is a fairly unknown , low budget film which has completely bypassed any cinema or dvd release and is only available to stream online . whilst we should support the british film industry can this straight to streaming release prove to deliver a high octane hit or is there a reason it’s only available online ?
fedz tells the story of renegade london cop mike jones . suspecting corruption in the police force , jones resigns and becomes a ticking time bomb as his old teammates hunt him down . in an attempt to redeem himself , he works hard to try and solve the case of a virus that has been released by a terrorist group .
with its impressive cast and action - packed plot , the film is worthy of a cinematic release . but in a bid to keep up with technology and not get “left behind , ” q – who also stars in the film – has skipped the traditional route of film distribution and set up his own internet channel to stream fedz online .
check out these images from fedz movie starring : dexter fletcher , katia winter , joseph marcell , ashley walters , femi oyeniran , maya sondhi , isabella calthorpe , shanika warren - markland , wil johnson , virge gilchrist , jodie perry , hannah sarah miles , sarah - jane crawford , justine powell , tiny iron , maria kouka , adrian bouchet and many more .

because of this , the soundtrack contributors in particular buzz around with glee on the red carpet , taking photos and promoting left , right and centre . this seems only right as fedz is a music - driven film – it even claims to be the first shazam and soundhound compatible film – and the mixtape award - nominated soundtrack features rappers squingy , ex , lefty and k koke amongst many others .
featuring a stellar line - up of british stars including ashley walters , wil johnson and joseph marcell , fedz tells the story of renegade london cop ‘mike jones’ . suspecting corruption in the police force , jones resigns and becomes a ticking time bomb as his old teammates hunt him down . in an attempt to redeem himself , he works hard to try and solve the case of a virus that has been released by a terrorist group .
that the named talent of ashley walters ( top boy ) , dexter fletcher ( lock , stock and two smoking barrels ) and wil johnson ( waking the dead ) weren’t present is a shame , but they really only play bit parts in the film and their presence would have stolen some of the thunder from those who deserve it most . this is a night for the as - yet unknown actors of fedz to take centre stage .
“the opportunities are there , so there is no point complaining . i refuse to be left behind , so i set up my own channel to stream fedz , and i made it as cheap as possible , at just 66p . i decided to stream my film because i believe this is where the audiences will be going in the next year or two . and i would rather be there waiting for them , than trying to play catch up . ”
very much the embodiment of dexy’s famed “teams who meet in caffs” , the gestation of the fedz has developed at its own pace . no teasing , no tweeting , no mention of the name… . until the music is ready . the fact that they had a london hub to call their own , a warren of small rooms on an industrial estate in acton , a place where members could make music day and night without the pressure of deadlines or commercial constraints , has led to some remarkable music being created , often during sessions lasting all day and night .
fedz , is a british film with a host of familiar faces including that of dexter fletcher , best known for his role in lock , stock and two smoking barrels and even joseph marcell , who , for anyone a fan of the fresh prince of bell air , will recognise him as geoffrey the butler . set in london , the story follows a renegade cop , who , after having his doubts about the force and suspected corruption , resigns and spends his time trying to right the wrongs by investigating a terrorist group who have released a virus on the city .
without even trying to , this is music which carries many of the ideals of punk and post punk , a time when people made music because they needed to , and when exploration , inventiveness and egalitarianism were qualities which soon became the norm . that the march of time , economics and technology have spun the world on a faster axis need not mean that true collaboration , conjoining the roots of our soulful past with the present and the future , needs to be bought in by the biggest record company or the highest bidder . at the heart of the fedz is a purity of spirit and intent which means that anything they do will be done because it intrinsically feels right . because it needs to be done .

british film director q says that black people in britain are failing to support homegrown black filmmakers .
the director , who released his action thriller deadmeat in 2007 says the “challenge” black directors face is not a lack of support from the film industry , but a lack of support from black audiences .
“the biggest challenge we face is the black audience , they don’t support their own film - makers . that is more of a challenge . ”
“my white contemporaries’ audiences come out and support their films . but black uk audiences seem to be comatose . they are sitting in front of the tv not seeing themselves , but they keep watching ? why ? ”
he adds : “if we support our industry like african people support nollywood , then we will get there . ”

q the man behind deadmeat : “there are many causalities of war in . . .
makes his feature film debut with deadmeat , a film which he also stars . the plot sees clarkie ( ‘q’ ) learn on his release from prison that he was possibly set up by his brother bones ( bovell ) a rising internet artist and entrepreneur who has just bought a designer house in notting hill and has a new girlfriend , melanie ( jo martin ) , the lawyer who defended clarkie . within a week , bones is found hanging , the suspected victim of a notorious cyber - vigilante who hunts down paedophiles online . clarkie embarks on a desperate quest to solve his brother’s murder and from here the story unfolds .
from wil johnson , martina laird , to robbie gee this film features a stellar cast of some of the uk’s most amazing acting talents . shot on a tight budget in 12 days and adapted from q’s book of the same name that he originally sold out of the back of his car before it was picked up by publishers . it is evident that q worked really hard to get this movie produced and onto the big screen .
with deadmeat released on dvd this month and having received an award in the past for the best british feature film at the bfi film festival its only right that we have a word with the man behind the film .
can you give us a brief synopsis about the film ? it is a dark time on the streets of london . an american serial killer the “cyber vigilante” is tracking down victims . clarkie is released from prison and sets out to find the gang that murdered his brother . he tracks them down with the help of an undercover cop and dishes out violent revenge .
where did you come up with the idea of deadmeat ? it started as a book , which i sold out of the back of my car , and then it got published in the mainstream . so , i just adapted it , but the film just has an essence of the book .
how did you get into film - making ? i was an actor , got into writing for tv , so i was always around it .
you got an all - star cast in the film with some really well - know talent . how hard was it to cast them ? casting is about 95 % of my work as a director , and the other 5 % is working out where to put the camera to film the action . i like to think of myself as an actor’s director . i understand the process of how an actor prepares and creates a character and my job is to help them to turn in great performances . so , if you have a script that an actor likes , then it makes it easier to cast them , even if you don’t have much money , actors want to work and they need good material to do that , so i try to write challenging characters , then approach the actor either personally or through their agent or a casting director and convince them as to why they should do the role . the best way of doing that is if the character is on the page .
the movie ends quite abruptly with loads of questions left unanswered was that intentional ? yes . i didn’t want a hollywood ending , where everything is tied up nice and neat . sometimes , life is abrupt . i suppose i like foreign movies and a lot of these have abrupt endings , it makes the audience think , it creates an emotion , and questions like – did he get the girl ? did the cop catch the criminal ? i don’t agree that an audience doesn’t like to think , that a director must drawn the line for them . i actually shot a hollywood ending to the movie and was about to put it in , and i asked myself why are you doing this ? then i left it out . also people think i did the end that way it is because , i wanted to do a part two , no , i did it because , there are always unanswered questions , especially in the area of unsolved crimes .
do you have any exciting up and coming projects ? fever is my next movie . i have seven actors who are in the movie aunvahood in fever and they play great characters . it is just being edited , and will be in the cinemas at the end of the year ; right now i am looking for new talent to contribute music to the soundtrack . i will also be doing a few scenes with a big name actor , and i am looking to put an unknown in the scene , so if you think you are that person we have started our fever movie facebook page , so hit me up , and tell me what you do . urltoken
what was your first ever job in film ? producing . i have also been curious about where the money is in the film industry , and i figured it was behind the camera , so i learnt how to produce .
what’s your favourite scene from the movie ? the sex scene . because of the way the camera moves and the lighting . i saw a french film called “betty blue” and it started with this full on sex scene , and i was in the cinema and i was like “wait a minute what is going on here ? ” it got my attention , but more than that i was fascinated by the power of film and how it can be used to create emotions and make one question one’s self . the sex scene in deadmeat is paying respect to “betty blue” because as a filmmaker , i never want to forget what betty blue made me feel . it wasn’t porn , it wasn’t there to shock . it was there because the director was saying pay attention to this because this is an important part of the story , of the relationship between the two lead characters , and this raw emotion is the territory that this film will be exploring , if you don’t like it leave the cinema now .
what do you love about the movie ? it was shot on 35mm film with anamorphic lenses . think of all the big american blockbusters like independence day , batman , when you go to the cinema , the curtains have to open even more than a normal movie to the biggest screen size to take it . as a kid when i went to the cinema and saw this i said to my mum , one day i want to make a movie that makes the curtain open that extra bit . plus , it is good to see black actors from the uk in that big frame . i have never seen it before , and i don’t think an urban film in the uk has ever been shot on that scale . i also love the way the 5 . 1 surround sound , swirls around the speakers , but most of all , i love the look , the way that it is graded , it brings out the varied skin tones of all the different characters . when i used to watch tv , and a black character came on the screen in a soap opera or a drama , i was always asking myself why they looked so dark . why they were not lit properly ? so i swore to myself that if i ever made a movie , i would make sure that the black characters were well lit .
what was the biggest challenge of the film ? getting the film made . but , every filmmaker has to go through this and having done it , i respect any filmmaker who makes a movie . the pursuit of making movies has killed some people , it has made best friends fall out , producers and investors have gone broke . there are many causalities of war in filmmaking , it is a fierce battle , it is all about survival , you’ve got to defend your film , think on your feet , run and shoot , borrow what you need , steal locations , do deals , don’t use permits , just get that film made by any means necessary .
which film changed your life ? l’argent by robert bresson , another french film . the title means money . bresson uses the pulling out , counting and passing over of franc notes from one person to another as a kind of repeated motif throughout , and it shows the love of money as a root of evil and how money can destroy the life of an innocent man , when fake notes land in his hands . it is a simple story but very powerful . it made me fascinated about money , the paper chase , you know , what people will do for bits of paper and little pieces of metal .
what is your favorite part of the process ? editing . editing is re - writing . just like you can change the look of a movie in the grade , you can change the whole structure of a movie when you edit , you can put a scene that was written to be at the beginning at the end , and find out it works better there . i don’t edit my own movies , i hire an editor and sometimes they surprise me by their suggestions of moving scenes around , of taking dialogue from one scene and putting it over another and thus making the character and story more meaningful . i love collaborating with people .
which was the most difficult character to cast ? jamal , the young kid , who observes a drive by shooting . he was an unknown , a non actor . i actually use a lot of non actors , or what i call real people in my movies , i like it because they have not been trained to act , and i like to cast them opposite big name actors , it is fun for both , it keeps the professional actors on their toes because they have a real person in front of them to bounce off so it helps them create a better character , and the non - actors , get a professional who makes them feel comfortable and even takes time to give them tips about the filmmaking process , so everybody wins .
have you ever had a crisis of confidence ? everyday . i am constantly asking myself if i am doing the right thing , making the right decision . i am a confident dude , but i hope i am smart enough to realise that nothing is written in stone and thus things can change in a minute , being independent means you can react quicker to these shifting events . when people i know or have studied have flopped , even when they had the whole world in their hands , it was because they were overconfident , thought they were invincible , unstoppable , the bees knees . then , they overlooked something , took their eye of the ball , got hit by a sucker punch and flopped . i am even having a crisis about this interview with flavour , am i saying too much ? could i say more ? you see i never take anything for granted and try to be humble .
what’s your guilty pleasure ? guilt is such an emotive word . pleasure is a strange word , because people will generally do all they can to avoid pain and gain pleasure . so for me , guilt can have elements of pain , so my guilty pleasure , is i spend my own money making movies . it makes me feel guilty , it causes me pain , but you remember i said the movie that changed my life was called l’argent – money , i have this love hate relationship with money . using my own money causes me pain , causes me a crisis in confidence , i ask myself every day , why am i doing it ? why am i taking hard earned money from my family’s inheritance by investing in a high - risk venture such as film ? it makes me feel guilty when i look at my mum ; she came to this country with a suitcase and five pounds in her pocket , why am i not giving her the money ? now on the other side of the coin it’s pleasure . i enjoy the freedom money gives me , of being my own boss . i enjoy owning my movie . i enjoy creating employment for great actors and talented people behind the camera . i enjoy not having to ask anyone permission to green light a movie .
do awards mean anything to you ? no . i think watching a documentary about muhammad ali when he won the olympic gold medal , and then throwing it into a river , when he was refused entry through the front door of a restaurant or a hotel , during the civil rights movement in america affected me . here was this great boxer , with the greatest award on earth and it meant nothing to him , because the society he was living in was unjust . so i realised that there are many unsung heroes in this world who don’t get awards . but it was great to see muhammad ali given a replacement gold medal years later and him accepting it for his work in improving the civil rights of people of colour in the united states . awards in the film industry are important , it means your hard work has been noticed , they can make your career ; they can increase the box office takings for your movie , the red carpet is fun . there is so much competition out there in the film industry , so the general public takes notice of awards , but for me i just keep going with or without awards .
which actors should we be looking out for in the future ? the ones in my next movie fever . in no particular order of importance , but ladies first : -
shanika warren - markland she is hot , i keep telling her to leave the uk and go to america , but you know , i think i might have given her bad advice , she is smoking , so it is just a matter of time before america comes looking for her in the uk . as a director , i am attracted by intelligence . shanika is not just a pretty face .
femi oyeniran , this guy’s comic timing is ridiculous ; also he is a very intelligent actor in his choices . he also has the range to challenge the classics , although he makes jokes about it when i suggest it to him , but he can do hamlet .
ashley chin , richie campbell , jason steed , these guys have such great qualities and they are great to watch .
jazzie zonzolo this dude is one of the most naturally talented people i have met ; i wouldn’t say he is a comedian , but he is witty , quick , looks good on screen . he is good at improvisation that is his strength ; i am going to watch him closely to see how he matures .
you all know him as an actor , he is not a new face but i have to mention him , ashley walters , i think he has matured , i think he will move into directing and producing , he is one of the best actors of his generation , he is older than the guys i mentioned above , he is more established , but he is now a man . i honestly believe and i have told ashley this to his face , he can have whatever he wants in the film industry , i have never forgotten his performance in storm damage and that is the timeless quality i mean about a great actor .
which film do you wish you had of directed and why ? heat by michael mann . i just love this guy’s work , his attention to detail , his research process , his writing , directing , editing , locations , his use of real people as characters in his movies , i like everything about him . the shootout scene in downtown la is off the hook , the sound design , the camera movement , the grading , and the performances of pacino and de niro , the cop and the robber , the good guy and the bad guy , who both have challenges with the relationships they have with the women in their lives .
where do you want to go from here ? top dog . i am going to build up the top dog film distribution and clothing label . make films audiences want to see . i am going to discover new filmmakers and distribute their films , discover new acting talent and showcase them in my movies , collaborate with the greats in the film industry . i am going to start a top dog educational program to go with the top dog label , to teach people the business skills that i have learnt , so they can come from , council estates and the road like me and sit in boardrooms of big corporations and make deals . i am going to teach them the secrets of earning money . i will tell you a top dog business tip . if you really break it down , if you strip away all the bs , earning big money is really easy . all you have to do is find a need and serve it . this is nothing new ; it is an age old principle . how do you serve the need ? with the skills and abilities you have , and if you don’t have the skills , read books , go on courses and learn them or find a mentor . now , once you have earned that big paper you will meet another challenge , keeping it , that is even harder than earning money .
2 . learn as much as you can about every department in the filmmaking process .
3 . become a great communicator , your people skills have to be 200 % on point . listen to your team ; they are looking for your leadership qualities .
5 . don’t be too precious about your ideas . film is collaboration medium , so surround yourself with great people with great ideas , and be open to their ideas and don’t take it personally if someone comes up with a better idea than you , go with it , don’t be wrong and strong , if someone’s idea works better than yours , cool , at the end of the day , you will still get the director’s credit .
are you on twitter ? i don’t tweet anymore . i have a theory i am exploring , we seem to be living in a global culture where , everyone wants to be famous and have followers etc , i have had my 15 minutes of fame , a couple of times and now , i am a bit like the graffiti artist banksy , i created the q image with the wooden glasses , because i like anonymity . in the world of social media , everyone is putting all their life , beefs and dirty linen out there , so , if i want to know about someone who interests me from a business point of view , i log on , after a few searches , boom , i’ve got loads of information . twitter is a great tool for pop stars and celebrities to keep in touch with their audience . but , i give information on a need to know basis , and for me less is more .

eric kohn and anne thompson discuss their favorite films of the year so far . they also debate several new releases and share some streaming recommendations .
in an episode dedicated to the show within the show , “glow” illustrates its grand capacity for storytelling , and the very good tv podcast breaks down how .
rules weren’t meant to be broken when it comes to tv episode lengths , but these 10 examples — introduced on the very good tv podcast — are clear exceptions .
after studying under cinematographer ed lachman , shevaun mizrahi forged her own unique filmmaking path with its own set of rules .
the actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .
lane and schoenbrun discuss how her interest in morgellons disease patients ( “the pain of others” ) and his exploration of the slenderman myth ( “a self - induced hallucination” ) led them to make archival films from youtubes .
and as if he hadn’t made it convenient enough for audiences to view his action thriller , the director has made his film available for just 66p .
he explains why he took this route : “streaming is the future because that decision has been made for me by the big companies . look at all the investment that is going into this sector .
youtube came along and the tv corporations quickly realised they’d lose audiences if they didn’t keep up , so the bbc , itv and channel 4 developed their own players to stream their content . ”
he continues : “streaming has become so natural now , with people watching and streaming music videos , films and other media on their smart phones and tablets , often without even knowing they are doing it . have you seen how big some of the [ smart phone ] screens are getting ? have you noticed all the mobile companies are talking about 4g connections when you upgrade your phone ? it allows videos and films to be streamed faster to your phone or tablet . ”
in addition , q says that having the ability to set up internet channels means that black brits with content to share can side - step the often heard issue of the mainstream showing little support to black - interest productions .
“so many people have mobile phones , so now , there are many ways we can all join in and make money in this growing industry . jamie oliver has his own food tube channel on youtube – why has no black chef done the same ?
“you can’t say technology is racist when you look at media entrepreneurs like [ sb . tv founder ] jamal edwards and [ youtube stars ] mandem on the wall ; companies like grm daily and link up tv ; and shows like meet the adebanjos – all of which enjoy success online . ”
with this thinking , it’s perhaps not surprising that q doesn’t see himself as being at a disadvantage as a black british filmmaker , compared to his non - black counterparts . in fact , he feels that the issue to focus on is not the lack of support from the film industry , but the lack of support from black audiences .
“i am a realist , ” he says . “i don’t expect anything from this society , not even from my own black people . this is not america . black people in the uk did not go through the civil rights movement or apartheid . the pain that black people in america and africa went through got them to where they are now . black brits haven’t faced anything like that .
“it is normal for the industry to fund their own people ; people that look like them , because they want to see themselves on the screen . the biggest challenge we face is the black audience – they don’t support their own filmmakers and that is more of a challenge . my white contemporaries have their audiences come out and support their films , but black british audiences seem to be comatose . they are sitting in front of the tv not seeing themselves , but they keep watching . why ? ”
he adds : “if we support our industry like african people support nollywood , then we will get there . black brits have a lot to learn from nollywood and the way they market and promote their films in the uk . ”
“i’m currently working on creating a distribution portal , ” he reveals . “with the advent of social media , the demise of hmv , and blockbuster being bought out of administration , it means cinema and the film business as a whole is changing . we can jump into that space and that is what i am doing .
“i also have a business called top dog agency , which does all the things i want to do , like discovering and developing new acting talent , and shooting and producing music promos , shorts and commercials . there is always something to do – i’m never bored . ”
the collaboration has seen this wealth of talent release a string of soulful , funk - infused tracks and their latest - ' plan ' - is no different .
we ' re premiering the video that goes with the track , which sees each member leaving their homes to head to the studio with steve mcqueen - style split screen scenes .

in city of heroes , there ' s also dark astoria , a zombie apocalypse relegated to a single town . it was destined to happen though , considering that there ' s romero heights and raimi arcade .
( 1968 ) is universally acknowledged as the first modern zombie film , although the term is not used in the film itself . romero’s zombies , living dead humans , motivated by a need for human flesh , are a science fiction concept , distinct from both the creatures of haitian folklore from whom they took their name , and the magically resurrected henchmen who had featured in earlier horror films .
j ' accuse ! a . k . a . i accuse ! ( 1921 ) is possibly the earliest zombie apocalypse style movie ever made complete with political commentary . what starts as a typical patriotic war story of lost loves , turns into a zombie apocalypse when the millions of dead soldiers of world war i march home from the battlefield to lay the blame for the war at the feet of those that stayed behind .
the film is based on the 2010 bafta - winning short zombie musical that was directed by ryan mchenry who shares screenwriting credits on the film . it was shot on location in scotland and stars ella hunt ( our robot overlords ) , mark benton ( the halcyon ) and paul kaye ( game of thrones ) . the story is simple . when a zombie apocalypse rolls into the town of little haven , anna ( hunt ) and her high school friends fight , slash and sing their way to safety . they try to save as many family and faculty members they can and face off against a zombified snowman , a manic bachelor party and teenage hormones . the film also stars newcomers : malcolm cumming , sarah swire , christopher leveaux , ben wiggins and marli siu .

in the 3 . 5 edition book elder evils , there ' s a world born dead , atropus , whose coming is marked by the undead rising from their graves in a zombie apocalypse . as in some other zombie apocalypses , his coming may cause anyone who dies by any means ( not just killed by a zombie ) to rise as a zombie ( or skeleton if there ' s not enough flesh for a zombie ) . when atropus gets close enough to the planet anyone who ' s dead will reanimated as a skeleton or zombie by tearing out of their graves even if they were killed years ago .
if you are looking for different types of zombie , see our zombies are different . not to be confused with vampire apocalypse the series by derek gunn . sometimes the ' zombies ' might be a case of the technically living zombie , but the overall narrative usually plays out the same way regardless .
came to be seen as important american film , and in 1999 it was declared “culturally , historically , and aesthetically significant

two prominent freeware games from ska software , survival crisis z and zombie smashers .
uses this trope as the backbone of the plot . its one big video game crossover and the zombie apocalypse is quickly wrecking civilization , and the monarchs who attempt to deal with it are summarily killed off for their efforts .
28 days later is a zombie film with technically living zombies who are afflicted with the
rage virus ,
something akin to super - rabies . zombies are called
the infected
, and can spread the condition through any bodily fluid transfer .
aside from cameos by william shatner and a handful of other hollywood stars , the majority of the film’s cast and crew are military vets . some lost limbs in combat .
it began with a grant from the act government’s screen investment fund through the industry - building screenact’s low budget feature pod covering about 15 per cent of the film’s cost .
the first zombie was , in fact , a vampire , who starved for too long , and completely retained his intelligence after transformation . this is also true for any other vampire - turned - zombie but not for their zombie

horror / dark fantasy publisher chaos comics had one carried out by one of its own flagship characters , evil ernie . the zombie apocalypse was limited to the eastern united states , eventually spilling out across the country during the company ' s own crisis crossover . after that event established a multiverse for chaos ! , there was supposed to be a title using established characters in a world after the zombie apocalypse , but chaos ! went under before it saw print .

pontypool is one of the most cerebral and ethereal re - imaginings of what the word “zombie” might be taken to mean , and it’s a film that i respect immensely for taking the hard road . zombie fans ( and horror fans in general ) are a fickle bunch—we want things we haven’t seen before , but we also want our films to reflect everything in the history of the genre , which is a near - impossible task . pontypool doesn’t bother at all with zombie convention . rather , its antagonists , which are never called “zombies” and are occasionally referred to as “conversationalists” by director bruce mcdonald , are a criticism of 21st century humanity’s inability to truly connect and discuss pertinent , truly significant issues . there is indeed a “zombie virus” here , but it’s not transmitted through bites or blood , but by ideas , by the very english language , which has become so watered down with pleasantries and insincerity that it’s taken on a destructive life of its own . the film ultimately contains all of the gore and violence you would expect from a great indie zombie film , simply delivered in a unique way , with a distinctly new message . it’s a truly postmodern zombie film and deeply dissatisfied jab at society itself .

here’s a film truism that everyone can agree upon : george romero’s 1968 night of the living dead is probably the most influential and important “zombie film” of all time . it codified an entirely new meaning for the term , which is ironic , given that the word “zombie” never actually appears in the movie , where the creatures are typically referred to as “ghouls . ” but regardless , notld catapulted the americanized idea of “zombies” past their haitian voodoo origins and into the cultural consciousness as dead bodies come back to life or otherwise reanimated , who fed upon the living . few films in any genre can claim to be so influential . but is it the best zombie movie of all time ?
