The Boonies, and yes that is undoubtedly a play on That more famous 80s action-adventure comedy, sees five seniors – who were childhood best friends who nicknamed themselves The Boonies – become reunited after a dead classmates video reveals a million dollar treasure hunt inside Boone high school
I’m not going to lie, about 30 minutes into The Boonies I realised that I’d totally zoned out and was not paying attention to what was going on in the film. Why? Well for a lot of this films initial running time it’s a cliched, stereotypical character-filled, homage to the kids films of the 80s. But a bad homage. Maybe it’s because the title is a riff on The Goonies and I was expecting something more,...

Tagline: "It Grows on You." *full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by the film's publicity arm. Director: Mark Newton. Writers: Christian Hokenson. Cast: Miles Doleac, Timothy Haug, Johnny McPhail and Wyntergrace Williams. Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies reminds this viewer of a much older film. Kentucky Fried Movie (1977) was one of the first films this viewer remembers watching which was truly laugh out loud funny. Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies, from director Mark Newton and writer Christian Hokenson, is also full of great one-liners and silly scenarios. But, there were no zombies in the Kentucky Fried Movie. In this film, much of the undead action takes place at a music festival. Here, a toxin turns the city of Charleston mad. There is a lot of plot for viewers to chew through as the many characters have their own subplots, or character arcs to work through.

This chemical turns the local populace into flesh-eating monsters! Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies stars: Moses J. Moseley ("The Walking Dead"), Wyntergrace Williams (This Just In), Megan Few (Demons), Escalante Lundy (Django Unchained), Kaitlin Mesh, and Clay Acker. A new poster is hosted here, for this upcoming release. The trailer shows much of the mayhem. Very much an action horror film, the clip shows ordinary people turning into something terrifying. Explosions abound in the landscape. And, Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies looks to be a film for true indie, horror fans. Gravitas Ventures will show this film on various platforms.
