[Thornton Reed]

According to the website it also aired on MTV U.K in October last year,in the hope of getting a t.v series commisioned.

[Paul WJM]

It looks like another one of those $26.50, shot-on-video pieces of crap that periodically get made by fanboys with more experience in BurgerKing than studying or practising the art of film-making.

Make-up's good though.

[Vaughan]

Gee - I've gone from "WOW - this is gonna be a must-buy" to "Who cares" in the space of a handful of posts. It's a roller coaster I tell ya

[Paul WJM]

Which is more than what can probably be said for the 'film' itself, not wishing to pre-judge y'see. But yer never know, could be the next Evil Dead.

[andy]

yes its like cops i have seen i saw it last year t but im guessing with a great set of making of features it will rock, im hoping there will be great makeup galleries to pad out the time. i really want it on dvd.
yes marc you do!

P.M.A.C.: WHEN ZOMBIES ATTACK!!
KNOCKS 'EM DEAD AT COMIC CON 2003


Los Angeles, -- What do you get when two veterans of the special effects/make-up industry cross undead creatures of the night with a proven formula for must-see reality television? The first in a proposed series of first-class and very lively supernatural spoofs of the popular COPS franchise, entitled P.M.A.C.: When Zombies Attack!!. Running 25 minutes, this outrageous, award-winning independent short has been cited for its "great production values, plenty of cool zombies..." and for being "absolutely hilarious" by Ryan Rotten at creature_corner.com.
The brainstorm of Matt Rose and Chad Waters , creative wizards at Rick Baker's Cinovation Studios, P.M.A.C.: When Zombies Attack!! follows a paranormal clean-up crew--the bureau of Post Mortem Animation Control (P.M.A.C.), headed by one Officer Frank Hadely (Frank Rydberg)--as they chase down and dispose of the corporally-challenged. Already receiving rave reviews from those who have experienced this first adventure of the P.M.A.C., When Zombies Attack!! won two awards, for Best Short Film and Best Make-up, at the Los Angeles Horror/Thriller Film Festival (Shriekfest) in October of 2001. From there, it went on to appear on Showtime Next as part of a the multi-content series Piratenet and can also currently be viewed at IFILM.com and Hollywood.com.

The reason for all this goulish mass exposure is simple: public awareness. "Ultimately we would like to see P.M.A.C.: When Zombies Attack!! spin-off into it's own T.V. or cable series," says Waters. "The title, When Zombies Attack!! was meant only for this stand-alone episode. In fact, the Post Mortem Animation Control (P.M.A.C.) are entangled with the whole spectrum of supernatural and paranormal beings. This series will be driven not only by bizarre mysteries and macabre creatures, but by the many characters and amusing storylines that deal with these unreal situations."

For those lovers of Romero-spawned fun who would like to experience a first-hand encounter with the P.M.A.C., let the bodies hit the floor August 1 - 4, 2002, when Matt and Chad's fledgeling company Grimm Grotto Goods will unveil P.M.A.C.: When Zombies Attack!! at San Diego's infamous Comic Con International. Copies of the video, t-shirts and other goodies will be made available along with a special appearance by Officer Frank Hadely, who will be on hand to educate and lecture people on the facts of co-existing with the undead, as well as offering safety tips.

ABOUT GRIMM GROTTO GOODS:
Creative partners for six years, at Rick Baker's Cinovation Studios, Matt Rose and Chad Waters share a combined total of 25 years in the special effects/make-up field. Together, they have worked on such memorable characters as: the mummified remains of Mother Bates in Gus Van Sant's remake of Psycho, the guilty space alien, Mikey, in Men In Black and the loveable giant gorilla, Joe, in Mighty Joe Young. Their need to produce their own work led to the creation of the memorable characters and unforgettable stories behind the P.M.A.C. Putting their years of combined experience to work through the formation of Grimm Grotto Goods, not only did the duo create the make-up, effects, props and costumes for this pilot episode, they also wrote, produced and directed the project. They are developing further adventures for Officer Hadley and the P.M.A.C. and are currently in production on the next installment.

Have you any idea of how good it would have to be to get me to fork out for a 25 minute featurette - erm - movie? Especially as it was hoped to be a pilot for a TV series. Maybe for a dollar

[aga2k1]

While I wouldn't buy this singular pilot I would defintely pick up any feature or TV series that comes from it. I think it was very well made and any problems you'd usually have from using amatuer actors is negated because of the premise of the show where everyone acts kinda wierd and stilted.
The whole cops thing could get boring after a while but for say a feature film they could spend the first 20 minutes doing the regular show and then get caught up in a seige situation or something.
