From writers-directors-producers Martin Sonntag and Bastain Brinch Pedersen comes, Escaping the Dead, a film inspired by a series of articles about the deathdrug “Krokodil” that was published about the same period of time when Ronald Poppo had his face eaten by a naked man hooked on bathsalt in Miami.,
Escaping the Dead begins on a typical day for the lead character, David. David is the local marihuana pusher, but he is the kind of dealer that smokes more than he sells.
The country has been hit by a new death drug and when David and his partner in crime, Ahmir, is offered some exceptionally cheap cocaine they see it as an opportunity to earn big money at a big techno concert the following Friday. The cocaine turns out to have a terrible side effect that creates a giant zombie outbreak that spreads across the entire Copenhagen.
Escaping the Dead stars Bastian Brinch Pedersen as David, Lloyd Kaufman, Lone Fleming (from the classic Italian ‘Blind Dead’ films and many more), Kim Sønderholm (‘Vidar The Vampire’, ‘Your Flesh Your Curse’, ‘Reyes’), Heine Sørensen, Sune Rolf Jensen, Sead Sainoski, Dorte Rømer, over 150 zombie actors and many, many more!
The official trailer is here and the indie film is headed out to festivals, already having its first screenings in late August at Action on Film International Film Festival in Las Vegas!
