Award Winning Spanish Language Film ZOMBIE DAWN Rises May 4th at Rosemont 18 MUVICO Theater

April 27, 2012. Eagle One Media and iFN are proud to announce the nationwide theatrical release of the Spanish language horror action film ZOMBIE DAWN with the film debuting exclusively in the Chicago metro area at the Rosemont MUVICO Theater. In a special arrangement with MUVICO and theaters, cinema ticket buyers shall receive a free limited edition copy of the ZOMBIE DAWN: Safehouse comic book that contains a prequel tie-in story to the feature film. The complimentary 28 page comic book was specifically commissioned for the film and created by comic industry veterans David A. Rodriguez and Dheeraj Verma and will be bilingual in English and Spanish.

Debuting at MUVICO the same weekend as AVENGERS, local movie fans will be able to treat themselves to a Superhero-Zombie Mayhem time at the theater. Along with ZOMBIE DAWN, the award winning computer animated horror short HAMBUSTER will be shown before the main horror feature as an added bonus.

ZOMBIE DAWN is an action horror Spanish language film that has won praise for its presentation and kudos for the film makers in assembling such a feature while working with only a micro budget. ZOMBIE DAWN recently won awards at the Zixion Sars film festival in Chile for directors Cristian Toledo and Lucio A. Rojas, and art direction.

Glowing reviews are in regarding ZOMBIE DAWN:

“ZOMBIE DAWN is low budget zombie horror done right. It has that gritty feel as if it were made right about the same time as DAWN OF THE DEAD
while embracing films like Peckinpah and the old spaghetti westerns by focusing on a morally grey merc and his men.” AINITCOOL.COM

“‘Zombie Dawn’ Arrives in America with Originality, Micro-Budgeting” YAHOO!

“The passion for the genre is here, down to the trigger happy ‘good guys’…there’s a cultish charm to everything” INDIEWIRE.COM

You may have heard about COLIN – the acclaimed British zombie movie that was made for just about $70. Well, now’s your chance to see it at Facets Multi-media Center next weekend!

Our hero Colin is bitten by a zombie, he dies and returns as one of the undead. Following a zombie outbreak that sees our eponymous hero become a member of the undead, Colin tells the story from the zombie’s point of view. We follow him as he wanders through suburbia during the throes of a cadaverous apocalypse. Through his encounters with objects, places and people, we learn who Colin was and more pertinently, what he has now become. Including a broad daylight zombie versus human street battle, an epic housebound siege and bags of gore, Colin is the must-see zombie phenomenon of the year and has already wowed audiences at Cannes, proving that you do not need expensive equipment, a famous cast or even a film crew to make a successful movie. What you DO need is a great script, a lot of enthusiasm and by low budget, I mean bargain-basement low. The director, Marc Price made rent by working nights at a taxicab company and shot and edited the film over a period of 18 months. Price was assisted by volunteers, and zombie extras were recruited via MySpace and Facebook. Colin was created for only £45 ($70), which was for “a crowbar, a couple of tapes… and some tea and coffee to keep the zombies happy,” Price said.

Collateral Damage Productions is holding auditions for their upcoming film, Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story. The film is a 30-40 minute comedic musical in the vein of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, but is a far more classic musical in nature. It is funny and romantic, but also delves into questions about what it means to be human. You can find out more on our website: www.RigamortisMovie.com.

Superior Street Rehearsal
2744 W Superior St. Chicago, IL • Room 318
