FREE screening! AMERICAN ZOMBIE in NYC
Source: http://www.fangoria.com/
FANGORIA will host a free screening of the satirical dark comedy/mockumentary AMERICAN ZOMBIE at New York City’s Two Boots Pioneer Theater (155 East 3rd Street and Avenue A) on Saturday, July 5 at 11 p.m. The festival favorite follows writer/director Grace Lee and fellow non-fiction filmmaker John Solomon (playing themselves) as they set out to capture the struggles of Revenants, i.e. high-functioning zombies, living and working in Los Angeles. As Grace strives to get to know the zombies “on their own terms,” John is eager to uncover their darker side and rallies to get the crew permission to shoot at a three-day, zombies-only retreat called Live Dead where the shoot takes an unexpected—and dangerous—turn.

AMERICAN ZOMBIE has been called ”Highly original and funny” by Salon.com, while SLUG (Salt Lake Underground) magazine described it as “Fresh, entertaining and creatively awesome.” The San Francisco Chronicle summed up AMERICAN ZOMBIE best as “A winner all the way”; see our article on the film in Fango #272.
