Hm.<\/em> For the second time this summer, a brand new, locally-made spin on living dead cinema will shuffle forth from within one of the area’s vintage theatres. I’m not exactly sure what inspired such a coincidence – although it must be a sign that lo-fi mummies have finally<\/em> been handed their pink slips – but I’m crossing my fingers that this upcoming effort will hold to its makers’ promise and reanimate the proverbial dead horse that is the zombie horror film.<\/p>\n

ZOMBIE MOVIE <\/strong>will have its World Premiere this Friday, July 20, 7:30 p.m.<\/strong>, at the Lincoln Square Theatre, 141 N. Main St.<\/strong>, in downtown Decatur, IL<\/strong>, paired up with director Brandon Clayton<\/strong>‘s prior short film, SIX DEGREES OF STARDOM OR HOW RONALD REAGAN REMEMBERS THE LIFE OF BRANDON CLAYTON<\/strong>. Admission will be free and refreshments available for purchase, including alcohol for the 21+ crowd – yet another<\/em> welcome parallel to the recent Bloomington<\/strong> showing of LATE AFTERNOON OF THE LIVING DEAD<\/strong> (see item: 6\/8\/07<\/a>).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"ZOMBIE<\/p>\n

Clayton filmed ZOMBIE MOVIE <\/strong>in his Illinois\u00a0hometown of Taylorville<\/strong> earlier this spring using the combined talents affiliated with his company, Hazard Films<\/strong>, and kindred spirits 747 Productions<\/strong> (see item: 1\/26\/07<\/a>). The short examines\u00a0what happens when Yet Another Zombie Outbreak forces four\u00a0blue-collar workers\u00a0to quarantine themselves after being\u00a0“bitten” – metaphor-implying quotes courtesy of the film’s MySpace page<\/a> – and await the terrifying outcome.<\/p>\n

However, an even more<\/em> frightening proposition can be found on the News page of the Hazard Films Web site<\/a>, wherein the terribly excited filmmaker claims he will eat his shoe on-stage if\u00a0movie-lovers plant their posteriors in all of the Lincoln’s 1,100 seats. Guess\u00a0the young guns are\u00a0prone to make such dares after watching Werner Herzog<\/a><\/strong> movies a little too much…<\/p>\n
