The UK’s FrightFest Film Festival is kicking off soon, and one film that we’re keeping in our sights is The ReZort, dubbed “Jurassic World meets ‘The Walking Dead’.” It will screen on Saturday, 27 August, at 10.45, 1.30, and 4.15 and promises a slick and contemporary thrill ride.
You can peruse a gallery of stills from the film below, and if you’ll be in London later this month, be sure to check it out!
Starring Dougray Scott, Jessica De Gouw, Martin McCann , Elen Rhys, Claire Goose, and Jassa Ahluwalia, The ReZort is a horror film offering a fresh twist on the zombie genre. It is the third feature from director Steve Barker (Outpost, Outpost: Black Sun). It was written by Paul Gerstenberger.
The ReZort is set for general release in the UK this year through Content Media. We’ll stay on the lookout for word of a Stateside release.
Synopsis:
The ReZort sets its story in a world after an almost-apocalyptic zombie outbreak. Humans have won the war and are exploring how humanity can recover after such a huge percentage of the population has been wiped out. Humankind finally has the upper hand, but Melanie, who lost her entire family, is still deeply traumatised. In a bid to overcome the demons of her past, she goes on a zombie safari retreat. It is the ultimate in therapeutic revenge.
The ReZort is actually a highly controlled and monitored environment, with a maze of concealed security cameras, restraints, and barriers. The eyes and ears of trained security personnel are on the guests 24/7, ensuring a safe shooting distance between the living and the undead–that is, until the resort’s security system is hacked and a computer virus crashes it, potentially unleashing thousands of bloodthirsty zombies back into the wild.
