Horror news, reviews and competitions... Made in Scotland
We here at AndyErupts first saw Howard Ford’s The Dead at Grimmfest 2011 and reviewed it shortly thereafter (review here).
To say that we were impressed is an understatement. I loved it. Milton lost his mind over it and since then, we have heard whispers of a sequel. Whispers, that we can now reveal, are based [...]
I don’t think there is anyone on the AndyErupts team who didn’t love Howard J. Ford’s Africa-based zombie flick, The Dead.
The Dead made zombies feel scary again and showed us a whole new side to zombie film-making, the kind of thing that hadn’t really been seen since Fulci dropped the Undead in the Caribbean in Zombie [...]
The Dead is easily one of the finest zombie films of the past ten years. It offered us a different perspective upon the zombie apocalypse idea by removing it from its typically urban setting and placing it into the vast, dusty plains of Africa.

During summer 2011, I was eagerly awaiting the release of what was described as an “African zombie road movie”, The Dead by Jon and Howard Ford. Once I finally got a hold of it, I loved it! So much so that I did something that I rarely do and watched the extras because I simply [...]

No chance of that happening as they have just announced their Halloween Horror Night.
Yes, these tireless horror crusaders are dropping one [...]

The synopsis for the movie provides the following:
“When the last evacuation flight out of war-torn Africa crashes off the coast, American Air Force Engineer [...]
As everyone knows, one of my favourite films of all time is Lucio Fulci’s super-gory 1979 Italian “zombies-in-the-Caribbean” film, Zombie Flesh Eaters. The movie’s unfamiliar tropical setting is as much a character in the movie as Dr. Menard or Ian West.
Now, British directing duo The Ford Brothers have dropped the undead into unfamiliar territory once [...]
It’s rare that we here in the UK get the better deal than our trans-atlantic cousins. This time, however, is one of those times.
The Ford Brother’s much sought after African zombie flick The Dead is bound for UK cinemas before the US. Sweet victory.Here. Digest this Press Release, folks,
“Much anticipated zombie survival flick THE DEAD is [...]
