Zombie Virus On Mulberry Street is heading to DVD this May, and it’s to be released by Momentum Pictures. It’s a zombie film with a difference, and has already received some absolutely brilliant reviews.
Set in the sweltering heat of a New York City summer, the residents of 51 Mulberry Street are going about their daily business in the knowledge that they are soon to be evicted from the building. Clutch is amongst them, a retired boxer awaiting the return of his daughter Casey from the war in Iraq.
In another part of the city there’s a rat-borne virus which is quickly spreading, so quickly in fact that it’s a struggle to contain it. All Manhattan bridges and tunnels are later sealed off as the victims of the virus become flesh-eating zombies.
At Mulberry Street the news has now broken, and they begin to bolt the doors and bar the windows in order to keep all else out of the building; infected or otherwise. What they don’t yet know though is that Casey is now back in New York, and trying to make her way back to the building.
Jim Mickle’s Zombie Virus On Mulberry Street is most definitely a horror film that’s not to be missed, and when it comes to DVD in May it sounds as though it’s one that’ll be well worth watching. You just can’t beat watching a good zombie film from time to time, and Zombie Virus On Mulberry Street certainly sounds very promising.
I’ve got a feeling that I’m going to like this one, and if you’re a fan of zombie horror then there’s a pretty decent chance that you will too.
Here’s what some of the critics have had to say about it so far:
“A ‘zombie’ film that breaks the mould, showing more substance, thought, effort and depth than most prior productions put together” – Bloody Disgusting
“One of the best independent horror features in recent years” – Fangoria
“A cut above most zero-budget horrors” – Variety
