Leave your high-horror-brow at the door and have a laugh for 90 minutes.A group of circus type nightclub performers are doing their set among the strippers and the burlesque dancers. Meanwhile Daddy is getting his daughter to kidnap young girls to help with his sick experiments.
The supposedly up and coming group arrive at a farmhouse for their first big interview. Unfortunately for them, this is where the zombie experiments are being carried out and they are forced to fight their way through naked zombie women.
What some people may miss here is the typical subversive British humour. ZWOS is just like the creepiest and sickest parts of the brilliant TV series The League of Gentlemen. Far fetched? Completely. Is a non-zombie form of this dark world really happening somewhere in Britain? More than likely. While this film made me feel a little uncomfortable, apart from the toilet humour that I really didn't need, I couldn't help but feel a little impressed.
After its run at Cannes, Zombie Women of Satan is out now on DVD.
That sounds... odd. I've always been vaguely disturbed by The League Of Gentleman. I think this might be a little too freaky for me. Great write up though. :D
ReplyDeleteThis sounds right up my alley! Will definitely check this out.
ReplyDeleteI've not seen this film yet, but reading that you make a comparison to The League of Gentlemen makes me want to check it out now.
ReplyDeletei've been following the ZWOS page on FB from the start, and it's been a real trip. been waiting for this for ages.
ReplyDeletei do agree about a lot of the humour being missed by some parts of the planet. damn poms & aussies are in a humor sphere all of their own. you either get that shit or you don't. i mean, c'mon, a license to watch the damn t.v.? def need a real twisted sense of humour for that. only in the UK!
ZWOS gets 8 & 1/2 stars outta 5 for me, and i aint even seen it yet...
Sounds like just the kind of movie I've been itching to see.
