quietearth [Celluloid 07.14.12] horror comedy adventure 3-d



They're called zemons, a cross between zombie and demon. Whether the use of "zombie" is a marketing ploy is no matter: The film looks like bloody good time. The story is about a bunch of knuckleheads who release a curse and try and must reverse it. No release date is set, at least that I can find.

The film is directed by April Mullen and written by Tim Doiron, the team behind GravyTrain which our own Marina loved (review). It stars Christopher Lloyd, Devon Bostick, Charlotte Baker, Brandon Jay McLaren, and Kevin McDonald from The Kids in the Hall.


We first reported on this almost exactly a year ago.. by just one day. What a coincidence.

Casper Galloway's future is one giant question mark. With only two weeks until college graduation, he still lives with his mother, is indecisive to a fault, and is one credit away from failing. But just when Casper thinks things couldn't get any worse, he and his friends accidentally unleash a curse that causes people to kill themselves and turn into Zombie Demons, aka Zemons.

Armed with a slew of homemade weapons and a Winnebago, the team races through the night, killing Zemons and fighting time, frantically searching for a way to reverse the curse. But as the Zemon army starts to overpower the team, Casper finds himself with no choice but to face his fears and become the unlikeliest of heroes. Will Casper be able to reverse the curse and save the world, or will he and all his friends be "Dead Before Dawn?"
