ADelaide PREMIERE
the horde (R18+)

Dir: Yannick Dahan & Benjamin Rocher
2009 France 90mins 35mm
French language with English subtitles

When cops and gangsters take to slaughtering each other in an abandoned high-rise, who are you going to cheer for? The zombies who've come to munch on all and sundry of course! The first feature from Yannick Danhan and Benjamin Rocher is packed wall to wall with tense action scenes, lashings of moist special effects and black humor. Tight, squishy and relentless, THE HORDE is coming to town!

 

  

Chick here to read the full reviews -

“The Horde” is a fine antidote for anyone who is feeling tired of all the cutesy, wink-wink zombie movies out there... it’s a good idea to balance it out with a hardcore, balls-to-the-wall movie like “The Horde”, where you couldn’t care less who lives or dies, but man, it sure is fun watching them try to make it to daylight with all their appendages intact' - Beyond Hollywood

'This is a superb zombie movie that almost has everything and there would be no surprise if the US attempt to remake it...It's tense, it's gory, it's violent and it's brilliant.' - Yorkshire Evening Post, Leon Nicholson

'very cool images created and the almost-traditional shot of the zombie legion swarming at our hero in a sea of raised arms and grasping hands has never looked more brutal or terrifying as it does here....it may be little more than a cover version at heart but it still rocks like a motherf$%^&* and it’s still great to dance to.- Nefarious Films, Matt Compton
