Raspberry & Cream Take on Gay Zombies in Remington and the Curse of the Zombadings

By Uncle Creepy
July 17th, 2012

In the Philippines even zombies exhibit sexual preferences. And why not? It's about time that the rainbow flag got a little blood on it! Read on for your first word on Remington and the Curse of the Zombadings, which incidentally is also the title of our favorite Hall & Oates song.

According to THR, German sales outfit Raspberry & Cream has picked up the Asian horror title Remington and the Curse of the Zombadings, a gay zombie film from the Philippines. Raspberry & Cream will handle worldwide sales on the title, a low-brow comedy about the homophobic Remington, who is cast under a spell and becomes gay himself.

The film has proved a box office hit on its home turf, earning close to $1 million with 250,000 admissions, making it one of the most successful indie features ever in the Philippines. Director Jade Castro also produced Remington through the Manila-based writer/producer collectives ufo Pictures and Orgin8 Media. Star Mart Escudero won the Golden Screen Award, the Filipino equivalent of the Oscar, for best actor in a musical or comedy for his performance.
