Zombie Virus on Mulberry Street

Found this (http://dvdtimes.co.uk/content/id/70470/zombie-virus-on-mulberry-street-r2-in-may.html) on a UK DVD/Blu-ray site... never heard of it til now, a debut feature by director Jim Mickie. Check the trailer out, because trust me, the horrendous artwork does it a major disservice.

Look ok. And you are right. The artwork IS horrendous.

Actually, this movie is nothing new. The name of the film is Mulberry Street (2006) and the baddies in this story are actually mutant-rat-people, not Zombies. They are just renaming this movie, and giving it a fresh new poster for redistribution in the UK. Nothing like a good hyperbole to market old stuff. http://www.allthingszombie.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1&pictureid=1

Toronto After Dark Film Festival: MULBERRY STREET **UPDATE: Spirit Award for Best Independent Feature Film, Gold Award Winner** (http://torontoafterdark.com/2007/program2/feature_films/mulberry_street)


Synopsis:
A zombie apocalypse-style story about rat people taking over New York seems like a long-shot for smartest horror film of the year, but MULBERRY STREET is it. In the tradition of Romero, Jim Mickle’s debut is also action-packed, highly political and intensely horrifying.
Co-writer Nick Damici stars as an ex-boxer living in an aging NYC apartment building slated for demolition to make way for new development. On the day his daughter is set to return home – after suffering a facial wound while serving in the military overseas – a mysterious virus erupts across the city that turns people in rabid, flesh-eating rat creatures. As chaos consumes the streets, he bands together with the rest of the tight-knit tenants, including a drag queen, geriatric war veterans and a teenager whose mother is trapped at the bar she works at down the street. When the infection threatens to take over the building, the unlikely heroes make a final stand.
Inventively shot guerilla-style in the streets of the Big Apple and in Damici’s apartment, MULBERRY STREET is a triumph of indie filmmaking.

Even if it's not about Zeds it did receive some good press, and it got a 'thumbs up' from many viewers. I might check it out regardless. :)

It was pretty good, but the people are not zombies. The RATS though, they looked like they were zombie rats that bit the people.
