Last Minute Recutting of French Zombie Flick ‘The Horde’
Some interesting news all the way from France as Bloody Disgusting was informed that French distributor Le Pacte is recutting the first 10 minutes of Yannick Dahan and Benjamin Rocher’s post-apocalyptic zombie film La Horde (The Horde) prior to its February 10th release in France (on 200 screens). Personally, I think it needs much more than the first 10 minutes reworked if horror fans in the States are going to enjoy it when IFC Films releases it later this year. I’m just sayin’. The film follows an end of the world battle between gangsters, cops and zombies.
