Watch Zombie Killers: Elephant’s Graveyard Online
Zombie Killers takes a slightly
different approach to the zombie apocalypse. There’s an abundance of
zombie movies to choose from but you would be hard pressed to find
another one that incorporates paintball into the narrative. The film
stars Dee Wallace, Felissa Rose, and Billy Zane and is directed by
Harrison Smith.
Watch Zombie Killers: Elephant’s Graveyard Online The rural town of Elwood lives within a
fenced-off ‘bubble’ against an organism epidemic where the infected
humans don’t die. Instead, they roam around outside the fence and across
the countryside in varying states of decay, intent on attacking the
non-infected and spreading the contagion.
Zombie Killers focuses on a group of young adults that consists of Michael Kean as Ian Sommers, Joe Raffa (Camp Dread) as Manning and Ashley Sumner (6 Degrees Of Hell) as Kennedy. They are all under the watchful eye of ex-military soldier Seiler (Billy Zane of Twin Peaks).
Seiler has trained the grown-up children of the town using paintball to
aid them in guarding their city and bringing the residents of Elwood
much needed supplies and food. Doc (Brian Anthony Wilson- Law Abiding Citizen) believes the town may have hope in the form of Toni (Mischa Barton- The Sixth Sense),
a young, pregnant women who could be an answer to breeding without
worry of disease. After an elephant’s graveyard-esque scare from two
outsiders, all hell breaks loose and the whole town finds themselves
under attack, and not only by the infected. Horror veteran Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp)
plays Lia, a rather aggressive preacher that believes God will save
them, but courageous Sommers convinces the remaining killers that they
need to get free, no matter what lies beyond Elwood’s fence.
This is a refreshing take on the zombie
genre, the aspect of the elephants graveyard was frightening and a nice
touch, with the paintballing throwing some fun into the mix.
Shot in just 19 days, “There was a lot
of one take shots within the movie and the cast just killed it. We
managed to make the film on time and within our budget because of cast
and crew that we had,” says writer/director Harrison Smith. “One of the
most difficult things was that we were making a zombie movie and The
Walking Dead is the stamp of what people expect from a zombie movie. So
the goal was to integrate the paintball aspect organically, so that it
made sense. Our executive producer’s (Jeff Trainer) son is actually a
professional paintballer and travels the world with San Diego Dynasty.”
