The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for Wednesday 25th January 2023


Back with more news as I often do in a regular news anthology post. Personally, I've watched through season one of the fantastic All of Us Are Dead, a wonderful South Korean zombie show that takes place in a high school. A review to follow later this week.

On 21st February The Long Dark Trail is released on Blu-ray and DVD from Cleopatra Entertainment. This is an independent horror film that was shot in the forests of northwestern Pennsylvania. The press release states it was inspired by graphic novels such as Preacher and Hellblazer, as well as horrors of the 1970's such as Deliverance and The Hills Have Eyes. This comes from writers/directors Kevin Ignatius and Nick Psinakis (the later who also stars in this), and is about two brothers who after fleeing their abusive father, head on a journey through a dark forest to meet their mother who is residing in a commune there. This was an Official Selection at the Weekend of Fear Film Festival, IFI Horrorthon, Blood Window Film Festival, and the Be Afraid Horror Fest!

Pasture comes to Blu-ray on January 31st from Bayview Entertainment. This is directed by Sean Hardaway and stars Sarah J. Bartholomew, Hunter Brosig, and Gabriel Grant. The film tells the story of a schizophrenic woman who is abducted by a crazed doctor and experimented on.


Finally for today, Michael Moutsatsos is currently running an Indiegogo campaign in order to raise funds for his horror film Contaminate. Outside of the pitch video there are not many details for this film, it sounds like it is going to be a slasher and has the tagline 'In a mad world only the mad are sane'. Check out the Indiegogo page here for a few more details. Currently it has raised £85 out of a £8,123 goal with forty six days to go.
