For years the Saw franchise churned out film after film up until the release of Saw 3D: The Final Chapter in 2010. It’s been 6 years since we’ve seen a new Saw, but that’s about to change.

Trailer Arrives For Sam And Mattie’s Spring Break Zombie Massacre

Sam Suchmann and Mattie Zufelt, two best friends, who teamed up to write and star in their first full length film Spring Break Zombie Massacre. Let’s face it, there are zombie films everywhere you look, but this one is special. Making a film is never easy for a first timer, but when you add in the fact that both Sam and Mattie have Down Syndrome, completing the film is even more impressive. The film, directed by Robert Carnevale, features Sam and Mattie as high school students caught in a zombie outbreak. Zombies are not the only villains in the movie. It also features demons, bionics, and much more. And where would a spring break movie be without wild parties, there are plenty of those in the movie. The project caught the eye of Jersey Shore’s Pauly D, who starred in the film free of charge. Madaline Brumby, Tyler Schnabel, Justine S. Harrison, Johnny Collins, Dante Bonfatti, Alex Hollock, Anthony Hoang,
