It has been over 50 years since Night of the Living Dead’s original zombie attack and the horrific event has become the subject of morbid nostalgia. Looking for fun, Ash (Moore) and her friends attend the Festival of the Living Dead, but it is disrupted when a blast of radioactive space dust hits the festival and they must defend themselves or be devoured by the living dead.
Tubi will debut the movie via their streaming service.
Camren Bicondova plays “Iris, who has been Ash’s closest friend for years, though they are starting to drift apart — especially because Iris knows Ash is leaving to go to college. She agrees to watch Ash’s brother, Luke, so Ash can go to the festival.”
Ashley Moore plays “Ash, [who] has been accepted to college and is getting ready to reluctantly leave her old life behind as she is torn between her boyfriend and his friends, and her old friends. When her boyfriend gets her tickets to the Festival, she jumps at the opportunity to see her favorite band.”
Directed by Jen and Sylvia Soska AKA “The Soska Sisters” (duo behind American Mary, See No Evil 2, Rabid).
It’s said that this film is “inspired by the classic 1968 zombie pic Night of the Living Dead co-written and directed by George A. Romero.”
Festival of the Living Dead premiered on Tubi on April 5, 2024.
Directors: Jen Soska, Sylvia Soska
