After distributing a film about Nazi zombies running amuck in the Fjords, it appears IFC Films are probably thinking of more content for their Saturday night programming with this AFM purchase. SD reports that they’ve picked up French zombie film La Horde. The pic which received a slot at the Venice Film Festival’s Venice Days sidebar is directed by the duo of new filmmakers in Yannick Dahan and Benjamin Rocher.
On the outskirts of Paris, four corrupt cops go on a rampage to avenge the murder of one of their own by a group of ruthless gangsters, holed up in a condemned building. Once there, the officers’ personal vendetta turns into a nightmare. Trapped, they are about to be executed when the unimaginable occurs: hordes of bloodthirsty, cannibalistic creatures invade the building, savagely attacking everyone. Running to the roof, the survivors discover that their entire world is in chaos. The streets are filled with massive heaps of countless cadavers and the entire city is in flames. Alone and wounded, despite their mutual hatred, the gangsters and cops have no choice but join forces if they want to survive. They’ll have to make it down thirteen floors full of voracious creatures but the greatest threat lies elsewhere…
