Screambox has released the official trailer for "We Are Zombies," an inventive horror comedy that brings a unique twist to the zombie genre. The film, directed by the Canadian filmmaking collective RKSS—comprising François Simard, Anouk Whissell, and Yoann-Karl Whissell—promises to offer a refreshing blend of humor and horror in a post-apocalyptic world where zombies are part of everyday life.
Adapted from the comic book series "The Zombies That Ate the World," "We Are Zombies" is set in a world where the undead are no longer a ravenous threat but rather a peaceful and oppressed minority. The film follows three slackers who work as zombie hunters in this new reality. Instead of the usual bloodthirsty hordes, the undead in this story are integrated into society but face significant challenges, including exploitation and social discrimination.
Starring Alexandre Nachi, Derek Johns, and Megan Peta Hill, the film explores the comedic and dramatic potential of this unusual premise. The protagonists become embroiled in a battle against a powerful megacorporation that seeks to take advantage of the zombies’ subjugation. Their mission to save their grandmother thrusts them into a larger conflict that blends humor with social commentary.
RKSS, known for their previous works "Turbo Kid" and "Summer of 84," brings their distinctive style to "We Are Zombies," infusing the film with their signature mix of retro flair and irreverent storytelling. The script, co-written by Simard, Whissell, and Whissell, continues their tradition of blending genre elements with fresh and engaging narratives.
"We Are Zombies" is set for release on August 13, 2024. The trailer showcases a blend of dark humor, action-packed sequences, and a thought-provoking look at societal issues through the lens of a zombie apocalypse. Fans of horror comedies and those intrigued by a new take on the genre will have plenty to look forward to with this upcoming release.
