Director Rene Perez's THE BURNING DEAD (formerly
VOLCANO ZOMBIES), starring action superstar Danny Trejo (MACHETE, TVs SONS OF
ANARCHY), arrives March 3rd on digital and VOD from Uncork’d
Entertainment. The DVD sears DVD a month later, April 7th.
Written and produced by Jeff Miller and Jason Ancona
(co-writers and producers of AXE GIANT: THE WRATH OF PAUL BUNYAN), THE BURNING
DEAD pits a horde of lava-filled zombies against a sheriff charged with the
plight to rescue an estranged family from a volcano eruption. Trejo plays Night
Wolf, a Native American warrior who knows way too much about the curse that
unearthed the coffin dodgers.
THE
BURNING DEAD also features Tom Downey (AXE GIANT, SORORITY PARTY MASSACRE),
Moniqua Plante (“Nashville”), Robert F. Lyons (DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW, 10
TO MIDNIGHT), Nicole Cummins (LOGAN), Kevin Norman (“Melissa & Joey”), Kyle
T. Heffner (RUNAWAY TRAIN, “Bizarro George” from “Seinfeld”), Julia Lehman
(CHEERLEADER MASSACRE 2), Tom Nagel (HILLSIDE CANNIBALS), Jenny Lin
(PIRANHACONDA), Robert Amstler (ALIEN SHOWDOWN), and Morgan Lester (JOHN
CARTER).
THE BURNING DEAD filmed in several locations over
three states, including around active volcanoes in Lassen Volcanic National
Park, California.
Miller’s and Ancona’s companies produced, along with
casting director and co-producer Mark Sikes. Mel Lewis (THE BEAST OF BRAY
ROAD) composed the score.
Special
features on the DVD will include a commentary track; Michael Kallio’s “Danny
Trejo vs. The Burning Dead,” an interview with Trejo; and the film’s
