Nasty Look at ‘Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies’!
Get ready for zombie action in the Alps in Dominik Hartl’s Attack of the Lederhosenzombies, where a group of young snowboarder is stuck in a remote mountain ski resort, where an all-night aprés-ski party soon turns into a hellish nightmare of zombie mayhem.
Gabriela Marcinková, Laurie Calvert, and Margarete Tiesel star in the film, which will premiere at the upcoming FrightFest in London.
In the film, “When a pro snowboarding dude takes a practical joke too far, he loses a lucrative commission, his girlfriend, his job and everyone’s respect. Winning any of these things back would be eas- ier if he and his friends weren’t marooned in a high-alpine ski-tavern surrounded by drunken revellers celebrating the longest night of the year. When the revellers rapidly start turning into zombies, our hero is in serious danger of losing his sense of humour.”
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
