Something happens, the dead rise and devour the living. You know the score, and the Netherlands' Kill Zombie! (or Zombibi, to give its original Dutch title) is taking no risks with its zombie tropes. It's a bloody horror comedy set in Amsterdam and that DVD cover has a touch of Shaun of the Dead about it if I'm not mistaken. Here's the info from the press release:

Kill Zombie! is one of the most highly anticipated horror films of the year - a blood-thirsty, super-sharp zombie romp that genre fans are going to devour.

When a Russian Space station crash lands on a city, a deadly virus spreads, turning the inhabitants into psychopathic flesh eaters.

After spending the night safely locked up in a jail cell, two brothers and two crazy criminals emerge to find their hometown devastated, and at the centre of a zombie outbreak. When one of the brothers receives a cry for help from a survivor, they join forces with the local police officer and embark on a reluctant rescue mission, pitting their wits, and risking their lives against these mutant killers.

The film is a visual feast from start to finish. Expect limbs to fly in this explosive bloody battle between good and evil!

Kill Zombie! will be shown on the discovery screen on Saturday 25th August at 1250 and will be released on DVD by Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment on 17th September.
