A home grown zombie film is being unleashed on Nottingham - and the world - on 28 January.

Luke Pick as Wesker in Dawn and the Dead

The greatest story ever told. With zombies. In Nottingham.

Dawn and the Dead is an hour-ish long, low budget epic about a young woman called Dawn (you see where they’re going with the title...) who is thrust into a zombie apocalypse. As a materialistic, fashion obsessive she wouldn’t have stood much chance of survival without Wesker, a paintball instructor who trains her in the way of the gun and who proves to be a potential love interest. With her new skills she finds that she is a natural at shooting zombie’s heads off and - without giving too much away - runs into a whole host of characters (gypsy daughters, crazy soldiers, northern reporters), whilst killing many an ‘undead mo fo’.

Tickets are 99p and can be bought on the door from 7pm. Film starts at 8pm. Get there early to avoid disappointment!

Yey, a Nottingham made film about zombies.  And on the day that Tom Savini is in town - perfect!

Really?? What a coincidence...whereabouts will he be? We might be able to lure him to the premiere with a trail of fake blood and perhaps some zombie noises...

Hawsome! If there's one thing I love more than zombie films, it's local zombie films. The 28th is a Thursday, right? It's the missus' birthday unfortunately and she wants to see It's Complicated. Hmm, some Saved By The Bell-style trickery is in order.
