Frightfest UK: First Thoughts on French Zombie Flick 'The Horde'
Tuesday, September 8, 2009

A film we've been covering like crazy and dying to see is Yannick Dahan and Benjamin Rocher's french zombie flick The Horde, which was produced by Xavier Gens (Frontier(s)). By clicking the title above you can read on of the first ever reviews out of Frightfest UK Film Festival, which took place last weekend in London. "Thankfully, The Horde is very much at the premium end of the quality scale. Like its kindred Gallic spirits, Switchblade Romance, Martyrs and Frontier(s), The Horde is another example of the French investing high production values to reinvent horror for a modern audience, here producing a pacy, exciting and gory romp into the world of the undead."

I'm surprised there is a review of this, we were told at the screening that there was a strict embargo on the film.

Stupidly excited for this film, seems like we've been waiting ages to see it. If its half as good as most of the other french horror films out in the past few years then it'll be some seriously good stuff.

I saw this at frightfest and have to say it was dreadful. No story, terrible action sequences, sub par effects. A real stinker. hilarious subplot about two nigeran brothers who suffered terribly in their own country that goes NOWHERE. basically lots of shouting, sub comedy lines in the script and well beleive me you have seen it all before it brings nothing new to the table whatsoever. surely this has to be the nail in the coffin for all those proclaiming france as the new horror haven.

I'd also like to say French black metal is also pretty awesome. The French still suck though.
