About me: AWAKEN THE DEAD is a gritty, grainy apocalyptic redemption tale with zombies. A genre-crosser, the film combines drama, humor, action and horror and blends them together into an entertaining whole.
The elements:
A former assassin turned priest. A feisty recluse. An innocent Jehovah's Witness. An hard boiled ex-marine and his Filipina wife. A mysterious watcher in black. A government mastermind. A massive street pimp. And hundreds of zombies.
With surprizing depth and humor, this film works on multiple levels. More details, a trailer and pics are available at the main web site at www.awakenthedeadthemovie.com
The movie stars Gary Douglas Kohn (RESERVATION ROAD, ALMOST FAMOUS), Lindsey Morris, Nate Witty, Michael Robert Nyman, Paul Dion Monte (ROCKY BALBOA, COBRA), Pro Bodybuilder Big Will Harris (BE COOL), Aurora Corcuera, Dominiqua Alexis, Jeremy Jones, and more.
AWAKEN THE DEAD is written and directed by Jeffery McMichael Brookshire.
Who I'd like to meet: Christopher is a professional killer on the government‘s payroll, until his conscience turns him away from his wet work and into a life in the priesthood. He turns his back on the violence and struggles for an elusive peace. He almost has it.
Until a mysterious red envelope pulls him back. Back to a safe house that becomes a deathtrap as a mysterious virus transforms the world around him into a nightmare of the living dead. Together with a feisty recluse named Mary and Stanley, a nervous Jehovah’s Witness, he must unravel the clues to this great conspiracy if he hopes to survive.
Sometimes the path to redemption leads through the gates of hell.
"Those who enjoy independent action/adventure films, who can appreciate the need for imagination inherent in a low-budget movie and those that travel off the beaten path of slick Hollywood mega-productions will enjoy Awaken the Dead.....The music, composed and performed by Edible Clowns and the Gentle Fracture ( http://www.edibleclowns.net ) was fantastic. I’m hoping for a soundtrack." --BEST-HORROR-MOVIES.COM
