Film News (UK): The Dead receives UK TV premiere on
Horror Channel
Horror Channel’s film highlights for September include
the UK TV premiere of the acclaimed THE DEAD, the smash-hit African-set zombie
film by The Ford Brothers. The film will be broadcast on Saturday 27 Sept
at 10.50pm.
The Ford Brothers burst onto the scare scene as a
fresh force in the horror fantasy arena with this original take on the zombie
holocaust genre. THE DEAD features stunningly shot landscapes, brilliant visual
effects and terrific dust devil zombies. The film is set in the near future
when most of the world has succumbed to a living dead virus. After crashing off
the coast of Africa, Lt. Brian Murphy (Rob Freeman) battles for survival across
inhospitable parched terrain in search of a way to get back to his beloved
family in America. Saved by local military man Sgt. Daniel Dembele (Prince
David Osei) who is also searching for his son, both men join forces to fight
the ever-present flesh-eating threat stalking the bush.
The Ford Brothers said today: '”It's a great honour to
have The Dead premiere on the Horror Channel here in the UK, It's our home
turf. Join us on this real and horrific journey across Africa. We hope you
enjoy, as it's a journey that nearly killed us both!”
There are also UK TV premieres for TWIXT (Sat Sept 12.
22:45), written, directed and produced by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Val
