source QuietEarth -----I wonder all those years ago when George C Romero gave birth to a horror movie genre of zombie flicks I wonder if he ever realised 40 plus years on how popular the genre still is? Year after year we get a movie inspired the great mans original work, some are good others are just plain crap, I have to admit I am a sucker for zombie flicks, Dawn of the dead is in my favourites list (both versions).Below we have a wonderful little treat for all zombie and horror maniacs outthtere, thanks to Matt Simpson below is his zombie short PLAGUE . Last 17 minutes and was selected and shown at many film festivals worldwide including NYC's Horror Film Festival it was simply sleceted due to Matt's vision for the movie. Matt wanted the zombie flick to venture away from the usual zombie movies using someone outside of society and taking in a issue thats high on many country's agendas, immigration. The movies main character is an Latvian man Vilhelm who is an illegal immigrant as well as a gunrunner who heads to London for a new life, but when he arrive in the big smoke the dead have risen and consuming the living. But can he escape?
Whatever country you may come from you should always support homegrown talent as well as talent elsewhere and Matt Simpson is an talent that get's the full backing of everyone at Cinehouse/The Peoples Movie's Blogs!
