06.03.09 TIME TRAVEL, ZOMBIES, AND BILLY ZANE
According to Twitch, a couple years back, a low-budget Greek zombie movie called Evil (To Kako) did decent enough business to travel the festival circuit and get a DVD release. Eventually they got to make a sequel with a bigger budget called Evil II (in other countries it’s still okay to number sequels). This is the trailer.
…they’ve added Billy Zane in a key support role and have introduced a time hopping element to the picture, making Evil II quite possibly the first ever horror film set dominantly in the classical age of Greece. You know … Theseus, Perseus, Jason and all of those guys? It’s like that, only with the undead trying to eat them. [Twitch]
I’ve been saying zombies is a f*cked out genre for a while now, but now that Billy Zane is in a zombie movie maybe people will finally believe me. This feels like a borderline racist attempt by foreigners to make an “American” movie, their idea of America being zombies, time travel, and cheesy acting. Kinda like if I were to try to make a Mexican movie it’d have a big fat guy with a red wig and fake freckles dressed like a chicken, and hot chicks slapping each other. And tacos. (whispers) Because that’s what they eat.

Actually, various forms of undead are prevalent in Greek mythology. There isn’t a strong tendency towards brain eating zombies, but then again we are talking a theology where their top god turns into a “golden shower” to make love to women.
So…yeah…
I can definitely understand why Billy Zane would be looking for a time machine.

Better be lots of denim in this film.
This post brought to you by Apollo, the Greek god of the sun and the Mexican god of chicken.

Greek zombies don’t fiend brains, they seek sodomy.

I bet Greek zombies are covered in Ouzo.
This shouldn’t really frighten Greeks; the women have been eating each other for centuries on the island of Lesbos.
Harry Hamlin didn’t reall escape from the Gorgon (see: Lisa Rinna)
Did you guys see Zane was at the MTV Movie Awards? My question is why?
I miss Jack! He was always good with Punic Wars.
The real question is, why were you watching the MTV Movie Awards?
Evil II: Hella to Pay.
Evil II: Athen There Were None.
Evil II (The Porno): Up Shit Greek with a Giant Paddle.
Evil II (Blaxsploitation: Who’s Your Daedalus?
Evil in the time of Gyros?
I guess Bruce Campbell was busy with Army of Darkness II
Looks like we don’t need Jack! when Donk’s here.
