The screening takes place August 21st at ODEON Covent Garden and is completely sold out. Well not that we’re selling the tickets, you understand, but basically you can’t get hold of them for love nor money.

Zombie movie Colin has taken this years Cannes Film Festival by storm.
That a British independent zombie movie has got the folks at Cannes buzzing is news in itself but the fact that Marc Price, the director, made the film for only £45 makes it even more remarkable. According to the article on the Daily Mail website, he spent the budget on tea, coffee, DV tapes..and a crowbar.
Price has done a great job in marketing the movie and used the current economic climate to pitch the film based on its credit crunch busting budget and has got write ups in Metro, The Times and The Hollywood Reporter.
From a zombie movie perspective, Colin also takes an unusual route in that it covers the story from a zombies point of view. The lead character gets bitten early in the film, dies and then comes back as a zombie and the rest of the action is focused on his life as a zombie. In his review, Mike Simpson compares the performance of lead actor, Alastair Kirton, to Karloff in Frankenstein. High praise indeed!
Seeing a British independent zombie movie do well at Cannes warms the cockles of our heart (note to self: must find out what a heart cockle actually does) but it’s made even more pleasing because some of our very own SNOTD make up team worked on the project.
