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.
