Zombies have overrun the earth, and young Scott's the last to learn about it - so he can't be too picky when it comes to choosing his safe haven. And as it goes with all crisis like this one, they can bring out the best in humans - or the worst. So when Scott's confronted with the other survivors in the farmhouse he's found refuge at he's quick to learn that the living can be just as dangerous as the undead, and staying put until help arrives could seriously shorten his lifespan …
The House That Zombies Built, starring horror icons Laurence R. Harvey and Dani Thompson and directed by zombie specialist Jason Wright - the zombie film that genre fans have long waited for!!!
We at Zombie House Productions are passionate about the zombie genre, so we want to give all fans of the undead the best the genre has to offer in both story and execution, which means The House that Zombies Built will combine character-driven drama harking back to the mother of all zombie movies, Night of the Living Dead, with contemporary zombie action, replete with shotguns, chainsaws, blood and guts.
“Our zombies are fast, nasty, scary – something you can’t get away from,” promises director Jason Wright, “but we rely on equal parts on zombie violence, clever dialogue and character development, and a cinematic feel a proper zombie apocalypse truly deserves.”

Who's in it
The House That Zombies Built will star Laurence R. Harvey and Dani Thompson, both horror icons in their own right.
Laurence R. Harvey will always be remembered for his disturbing performance in Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) and has since starred in many fun genre movies including Frankenstein Created Bikers and Zombie Wars.
Dani Thompson left her mark on the genre in films like Serial Kaller, Axe to Grind, PandaMonium, Beyond Fury and of course Bad Moon Rising.
Also on board will be Sam Dunning, Reis Daniel and Rosie Kingston.
Sam has worked with the team behind The House That Zombies Built on Acid Pit Stop and Mannequin.
Reis is an actor and stand-up comedian and known from such comedy shows/channels as Pop Sludge, UniLad and LadBible, but has also dabbled into horror in flims like Grindsploitation 4: Meltsploitation and There's No Such Thing as Zombies.
Rosie is a skilled theatre and movie actress who has already gotten her teeth into the horror genre with the fan favourite I Scream on the Beach!
But wait a minute, isn’t that what’s ‘is name?
Yes, celebrities die, too, and there’s a fair chance they’ll return as zombies, just like the rest of us – so as a special treat for the celebrity spotters in our audience, we’re planning many a celeb-cameo, playing their post-life selves. Who do we have in store? That’s for us not to say and for you to find out.

Who we are
Our producer/director Jason Wright’s dedication to the zombie genre is second to none, as not only has he done several zombie features (Acid Pit Stop, Zombie Wars), shorts (Zombie Boot Camp, Infected, Zombie Playground: Ice Cream), and promo videos (Resident Evil 6, Fear the Living Dead, Walker Stalker London), he also runs the webzine Digital Dead, and he’s the organizer of zombie-themed events of all kinds, from zombie walks to zombie booths to, yes, zombie weddings – so it’s safe to say, he’s got some zombie blood in his veins, and with him at the helm you’ll get top shelve zombie entertainment.

What We Need & What You Get
There's nobody more passionate about making a great zombie movie in all of Essex, maybe all of the UK, than us at Zombie House Productions - but unfortunately one cannot make a film on passion and good will alone, we also need the right equipment and locations, our cast and crew need food and housing, heck even our zombies need makeup (those vain bastards). To that end, we are working with a non-profit organization local to Southend on Sea, Essex, and also a collective community to get as much support as possible. But that still leaves us a bit short on the monetary side, so we're raising funds to cover costs of food, drinks, props, materials, writers, cast, crew and so much more. Every little helps, from £1 up, so please donate what you can and let‘s make this film project happen.
