Now Showing - ZombieCON

This week on Forgotten Cinema: Now Showing, the Mikes are fighting some really douchey zombies.

After recently interviewing the filmmakers behind "ZombieCON Vol. 1", Butler and Field dive into the finished film itself. Both are impressed by the passion and craftsmanship that went into this indie horror-comedy. It’s clearly a labor of love, and the team behind it pulled off something that’s hard enough even without undead mayhem: completing a full-on independent feature.

From practical blood effects to cosplay and zombie action, ZombieCON Vol. 1 manages to juggle its ambition, humor, and gore while showing just how much heart and creativity can come from indie filmmaking.

If you haven't already, be sure to check out our Interview episode where Mike Field and Mike Butler talk with Erin Áine and Kyle Valle, two of the creators of the film!

Buy/Rent "ZombieCON Vol 1." on AppleTV or Amazon Prime!

About the Podcast

Forgotten Cinema
A podcast about forgotten films that deserve a second chance
Welcome to Forgotten Cinema! Each episode, Mike Field and Mike Butler highlight a film that for a variety of reasons was forgotten by audiences. Whether it be because a more popular movie was released at the same time or the movie simply didn’t catch on with an audience in the its initial run. We’ll discuss what we love about the movie or perhaps don’t love about it and decide whether the movie is worth a revisit.
