TIME TRAVEL, ZOMBIES, AND BILLY ZANE
06.03.09According 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.
