EATERS

Devastated by the Great Epidemic, the world is governed by hordes of the living dead. Three men – Igor and Alen, two hunters of the dead, and a scientist, Gyno – try to find an answer to what has happened to the human race. Alen and Igor leave for two days of hunting to find new “guinea-pigs” for Gyno and meet the most varied characters: a crazy painter, neo-Nazis and a mysterious girl, daughter of the feared Plague-Spreader, supposed craftsman of the epidemic… Does this sound nasty enough to you ? Welcome home, son of a BIFFF ! Distributed by Uwe Boll, this first long feature from Lucas Boni and Marco Ristori is clearly 90 minutes of genuine pleasure for a generation raised on Romero’s classics. Having earned their spurs in commercials and video clips, our two chaps clearly know how to cook up a visual bombshell with an astonishing apocalyptic aesthetic. The care taken on the make-up and look of the infamous zombies is just amazing. And the onscreen result is closer to Danny Boyle and Zack Snyder than to Lucio Fulci’s and Umberto Lenzi’s flicks.
