A shopping mall, zombies and a lot of blood, Scott Gentry discusses "Death Walks" an upcoming and often hectic zombie horror film.

"Death Walks" (TBC)
Director: Spencer Hawken.
Starring: Lucinda Rhodes-Flaherty, Scott Mullins, Daniel Smales, Joanna Finata and Peter James Hole.
Expected release date: Late 2014.

Plot: Late one night, a shopping centre receives an unexpected visitor and what begins as an act of kindness; turns quickly into a night of horror. 

Ever since "Dawn Of The Dead" arrived on our silver screens in 2004, zombie films have just kept coming. Even Britain has had it`s fair share of the genre. From last year's insanely popular "Cockneys V.S Zombies" to cult favourite "28 Days Later"; the zombies carry on walking...

Finally, the zombie sub-genre has taken a break from worldwide domination and set it sights on the local town of Romford, Essex; and one man has been brave enough to take on the sub-genre, Spencer Hawken. 

A self confessed fan-boy of the genre, Spencer hopes that his film "Death Walks", will be just what the audience wants; gore and a fair bit of it. He feels that the idea for the film came from the influence of "Dawn Of the Dead", but is mixed together with a British style, that is quite different.

A former student of Raindance film school, Spencer had always wanted to do a project on this scale and felt that he did not want to work for other people, but for himself and that is partly where his passion derives from.  

Spencer and the zombie horde!

Many people will be happy to know that Spencer is aiming for an 18 rating from the BBFC. "I want it to be gory and to have a certain feel to it like `Eden Lake`
but not too over the top" he said. 

"Death Walks" has been described as being a film of zero budget and Spencer agrees; stating "It's zero budget, but the community pulling together is what makes it work".

When asked on plans for the future, Spencer replies saying "I wish to run the film through film festivals like Fright-fest and when the film has run it's course, I'll be starting project number two". 

"Death Walks" is currently just over half-way through filming, with over 350 individuals taking part; it's almost certain to be the answer to horror fans prayers. 

From what I have seen (whilst spending time on set), I can honestly say that "Death Walks" could be one of the most inventive British horrors in a long while.
