Hole Head 2010 Program Guide - Silent Night Zombie Night

Silent Night Zombie Night
Dir: Sean Cain
Silent Night Zombie nights is set the week before Christmas in post apocalyptic Los Angeles where a viral infection has transformed the city into a sea of the staggering undead. Zombies that will not stop and a core group of remaining humans that are armed to the teeth and dispatching the zombies back to hell with bats and guns. A survivor and LAPD cop was about to sever ties with both his long-term partner and his wife only now he’s stuck trying to, well, get through the holidays with them both. It really doesn’t help matters that his partner is in love with his wife… You can imagine the situation is, well, somewhat tense.
Silent Night Zombie night has the usual gross out moments that will make you squirm while laughing out loud and then there are those that are just straight up funny and beyond the pale. Without ruining anything for anyone here’s a couple of images that are still making me chuckle. There is a very fat zombie Santa wandering around the streets and Frank, the angry cop who’s on the verge of divorce, leans out the window of the apartment they are holed up in and shoots him right in the head. He then makes a sly reference to Virginia and no Chirstmas... A definite feel good moment. Can it get better than this? Oh, sure. He walks out into a sea of zombies and takes up batting practice with their skulls to the tune of ‘take me back to the ball game.’ At this point the fun and games is in, well, full swing.
Silent Night Zombie night is brimming with the usual Zombie antics and humor. The film also gives up a few tips and tricks for zombie hunters. I for one really wasn’t aware that the zombies suffer from night blindness and hunt primarily by smell. Good information to tuck away next time there is a zombie outbreak in a city near you!
