American Zombie Trash! is a look at the core of current American Zombie B-Movies shipped straight from the zombie trash motherland.Since 2000 America has produced a run of zombie films with a facing of a pseudo-political agenda, offerings such as pot-zombie, the ghouls (made for just $15k) and raving maniacs. Most of the post 2000 American Zombie Trash cinema sits behind obvious satirical comedy/commentary on drug culture, sexuality and the repression of the media under the Bush administration.





Cannibal Dead: The Ghouls – Lets not get into an argument over if a Zombie Film has to have re-animated dead in it (I’m sick of the argument that is usually used against 28 Days Later to categorise it as a film of “infected”). The Cannibal Dead was made on a budget of $15k after the director sold his mustang. Eric Hayes is a stringer; he makes his money from listerning to police scanners and racing to the scene of an accident or murder, filming what he sees and sells it to the news stations. When he stumbles on what he thinks is rape he presumes his found his next pay check, but what he actually discovers is more terrifying than he could’ve possibly imagined.





Die You Zombie Bastards! – Another UK Premiere brought to you by the Trauma Team. Although this film sits outside it's zombie trash cinema comrades as it isn't strictly a zombie film, its sold as a "The World's First EVER Serial Killer Superhero Rock'n'Roll Zombie Road Movie Romance" and doesn't have one of the central criteria of an American Zombie Trash film, i.e. the political/cultural commentary but it does retain the comedy of it's Japanese counterparts. Deliberately over acted and camped to exploding point this probably deserves the same categorisation (although it is nothing like it) as Shaun of the Dead – a “Zom-Rom-Com”. With all the gore you could ask for and a weighted style heavily influenced by the Troma production company (that bought us such classics as the Toxic Avenger series and other not so well know titles as Poultrygeist and Surf Nazi’s Must Die) this film is an adventure into the disgusting putrefied heart of trash cinema
