There’s a new conflict in the Middle East, and this one has nothing to do with land, religion, or anything else that we’re used to. Nope, we’re talking about a true zombie apocalypse that’s on the horizon, Israeli style!

Directed and written by Eitan Gafny for White Beach Productions, Cannon Fodder stars Liron Levo, Yafit Shalev, Roi Miller, Emos Ayeno, Gome Sarig, Amit Lior, and Shira Katzenelenbogen.

Check out the trailer and more below.

Synopsis
Cannon Fodder is an original Israeli movie that takes genre conventions from both action and horror films in order to bring a new face to Israeli cinema – peppered with black humor, special effects, and lots and lots of blood.

An Israeli Defense Forces Special Ops unit is sent into Southern Lebanon to capture the number 3 leader in the terrorist organization of Hezbollah, only to face something much worse. Doron Geva, an IDF security operative, takes on the mission. Together with an elite force which he had never met before, Doron enters Lebanon to complete his last mission. Very soon he discovers that reality is not so simple and that a new and unknown enemy has to be dealt with – and Hezbollah are the last thing on his mind.

Doron has to deal with soldiers he does not trust, cooperation with enemy forces, a ticking clock in the form of extensive IDF attacks, and worst of all: a bloodthirsty enemy, cruel and bestial, that does not show mercy or reason – and this enemy bites!

Now that their enemy has changed its face, it’s up to Doron and his unit to wage a new war, a different war, in order to find an antidote and get back across the border before the Middle East conflict is changed forever, for the worse…
