Get American Zombie on DVD this July

The dark comedy/mocumentary American Zombie is making its way to DVD on July 8, 2008. Before you start crying zombie overload, watch the trailer over at the official website, it seems like a fresh spin on the zombie genre and may be worth a look.

Synopsis:

Despite their wildly different working styles, Grace and John manage to chronicle the hopes and dreams of four fascinating subjects: Ivan, a convenience-store clerk who longs for a career in publishing; Lisa, a florist trying to recover her lost memories; Judy, a hopeless romantic who learns to accept her true nature; and Joel, a committed political activist advocating for zombie rights. As Grace strives to get to know the zombies β€œon their own terms,” John is eager to

uncover their darker side and rallies to get the crew permission to shoot at a three-day, zombies-only retreat called Live Dead where the documentary takes an unexpected – and
dangerous – turn. What transpires there is beyond anything the filmmakers could imagine, as they are forced to re-evaluate their ideas about tolerance, identity politics and the future of the human race.
