There’s no reason to live in the past however. (That film has gone on to gain a cult-like following on the internet anyway!) Glenn made the best out of The Worst Movie EVER!  The exposure from the film’s lackluster opening probably gained him exposure and opportunities he wouldn’t have enjoyed had the film’s opening simply been bad instead of terrible. Glenn and his production company, Driving With Our Eyes Shut,  have followed up with their latest low budget masterpiece:  Midget Zombie Takeover.

When some college students get together for a hot tub party, they’re shocked to find out that their party is being crashed by some tiny, uninvited guests who are hungry for flesh – human flesh.

Midget Zombie Takeover reportedly had a paltry $2,000 budget. A micro-budget and a quirky indie filmmaker already known for The Worst Movie EVER! just might be the recipe for comedic zombie gold. It certainly sounds like a fun Saturday afternoon to me. Check out the official trailer for Midget Zombie Takeover below:

Looks like a winner to me.  Before all you huffy film snobs out there get all worked up, we’re pretty sure the movie and trailer are supposed to be bad.  Duh! I could be wrong, but I’m fairly confident this is one of those zombie films that doesn’t take itself too seriously. You’re supposed to bask in the micro-budget goodness that only passionate and funny indie films with a shoestring budget can bring us. So lighten up, relax and enjoy it for what it is. Besides, we already know this isn’t the worst movie ever!

There are no fears of this even being The second worst film ever.  According to Box Office Mojo, Midget Zombie Takeover made over $2,700 in its opening weekend.  According to the official Midget Zombie Takeover facebook page the film word continues to spread about the film.  It has been booked for screenings in many cities across the U.S. and has even landed multiple screenings in theaters in cities such as San Antonio, Texas; Tempe, Arizona and more!

So is this the worst ZOMBIE film ever? That remains to be seen. One thing is certain, I’d absolutely love the opportunity to see this film and review it. I pray it comes to a theater near me! Remember a bad zombie movie is still better than half the crap in theaters on most weekends anyway!

You didn’t think he would be that easy to get rid of did you? As if Osama Bin Laden wasn’t evil enough when he was living…now he’s back as a ZOMBIE! If there is anything more horrifying than a zombie, it would probably be a horde of zombie terrorists led by Bin Laden. That’s exactly what the folks at ArrowStorm Entertainment are bringing zombie fans in their upcoming film Osombie: The Axis of Evil Dead.  The best part is zombie fans can help contribute to this project and make it even more amazing. More on that later. For now let’s look a little closer at the plot of this zombie thriller.

If you are tired of all the same old zombie nonsense in films then this one just might have the extra plot details to keep you happy. Of course that doesn’t mean the film lacks the zombie gore and epic zombie deaths we all expect in a zombie film. Check out the official trailer for Osombie below:

Here is a plot description and teaser from the people behind this new zombie film:

The story follows Dusty, a yoga instructor from Colorado, who is on a desperate rescue mission to save her crazy brother Derek, a conspiracy theorist who is convinced Osama Bin Laden is still alive, despite having been buried at sea. In Afghanistan, Dusty falls in with a team of NATO Special Forces on a secret assignment. Turns out Derek is not so crazy after all, and that Osama has returned from his watery grave and is making an army of zombie terrorists. When the group crashes headlong into the growing zombie apocalypse, Dusty and the troops must find and destroy the root of the zombie insurgency before it infests the rest of the world.

Take whatever negative connotations you have about this film and hold them for a few minutes.  I admit when I first heard about this film I thought it sounded pretty odd . Honestly I thought it sounded like it had the makings for a campy zombie train wreck.  I’m not trying to be a douche here, I’m just being honest. I’m also pointing out how wrong my initial impression was.  I envisioned some terrible production with crappy makeup, terrible effects and little to no resemblance to a professionally done film.  Then I saw the movie poster and was pretty impressed.   Then I clicked to watch the trailer and I was pleasantly surprised.

This movie actually looks pretty damn cool! The trailer did it’s job and now I can’t wait to see the film.  Maybe it’s because I have a thing for guns, zombies, explosions, violence and hot chicks.  After all, any good modern zombie film knows how to combine all of those elements in just the right mixture. From the 1:05 long trailer for Osombie it looks like the folks at ArrowStorm Entertainment are on the right track!

Maybe my initial reluctance to  Osombie: The Axis of Evil Dead was because I had heard it was a project being funded by Kickstarter. For those of you who don’t know, Kickstarter.com is a place where businesses, individuals and ambitious dreamers of all types go to seek funding for their creative projects. Now before you bash me , I am NOT a Kickstarter hater. Plenty of awesome things have come from the site and the generous people and organizations that back the projects listed there. That being said, there are also plenty of pipe dream projects that just never get legs.  Unfortunately for everyone person that has their stuff together and has a professional caliber project plan, there is at least one person who hasn’t thought about much beyond, “I need money”.

Maybe I thought Osombie was going to be one of the those “here today, gone tomorrow” zombie film ideas.  Boy was I wrong!  These guys aren’t messing around. They aren’t raising money for a zombie film that they hope to make.  It turns out Osombie is basically already done! The film has already been shot and edited! The money being raised on Kickstarter is additional capital being raised for post production work, and YOU can help.

It turns out plenty of other people like the concept of Osombie and have pledged to support it.  As of 11:00 am on 2/13/2012 the film project has 295 backers willing to contribute a total of over $21,000. The folks at ArrowStorm Entertainment originally set a goal of $15,000. Once they met that goal they decided to set a new goal of $30,000 to make this zombie film even more spectacular! There are 49 fundraising days left for this project.  There are various prizes and rewards backers will receive for contributing. These incentives start at the $5.00 pledge mark and only get better as you contribute more to the cause.  Zombie fans interested in supporting the film can click the banner below:

In the end, how awesome Osombie turns out is partly up to us. We can help support the post production efforts and polishing of the final project by contributing any amount from $1.00 to  thousands!  I can’t wait to see the film and we encourage zombie fans across the world to contribute.  Don’t think of it as donation for a zombie film. Think of it as funding the war against zombie terrorism. Together we CAN make a difference!
