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).
