Films Distribution has sold French zombie movie The Horde to IFC Films in the US and to Showgate in Japan. “What started as a small zombie movie ended up as a bestseller,” said French sales outfit Film Distribution’s Nicolas Brigaud-Robert, who added that he is close to a Korean deal. The film, which was shown in official selection in Venice Days in Sept, is directed by Yannick Dahan and Benjamin Rocher. It follows four corrupt cops on a rampage in a condemned building who collide with hordes of bloodthirsty, cannibalistic creatures. It was also produced by Frontier(s) director Xavier Gens. Reviews and word of mouth have been highly negative. I can confirm (ugh).

I've read nothing but positive for this movie, even the official B-D review is 4 out of 5 skulls! If you thought it was that bad, why don't you post your review?

I saw this at Frightfest in London a couple of months ago and it was really good. I don't know why people would be negative about it.

"Reviews and word of mouth have been highly negative. I can confirm (ugh)." I think Mr Disgusting painfully attempted to show us how strong his sense of irony is. It is a big deal to say random stuff like that on a specialized Web site to an audience that is already thrilled to see this amazing zombie film. We have to support indie films and the only way to achieve this is to stick together. We can help produce films like "The Horde": the first film in the history of French cinema that was 100% financed by...the audience. Yes, people, people like us can now produce the films we want to see. If the phenomenon develops itself in North America, this will be one of the biggest changes in the history of movie-making.

LOL, Wasn't it Mr.D himself that was campaigning this film to us a few months ago?

WTF, D? Your own site gives it 8/10. Or do you prefer watching the movies like "Twilight" and "One Last Call" that BD continually hypes. And how much do you get paid to have those full screen ads for movies that aren't even real horror plastered on your front page?

YES! I hope the release date for this movie is soon. I really want this movie! I remember discovering it the same day the trailer was released in the US and I've been dying to have it ever since. Woo! Things are coming along nicely.
