First Look: The Horde


I’ll admit, I don’t follow the foreign genre scene as much as I should, but hey, that’s why we have Devindra Hardawar. When I came across this photo for the french zombie film The Horde, I began to dig deeper.

Yannick Dahan and Benjamin Rocher’s The Horde could probably be described as Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead meets Die Hard meets The Shield. Executive produced by Frontier(s) helmer Xavier Gens, the story follows four corrupt police officers who raid an abandoned tower looking for a group of gangsters who killed one of their colleagues. But when a zombie outbreak hits, the policemen must unite with the gangsters in order to survive from the hordes of oncoming undead.

Sounds pretty sweet if you ask me. The project is currently filming in Paris.

Update: The concept photo was reader submitted, but I have been since been told that it originated on Twitch.

  • Sounds good...
  • Hey ! Hello to every readers of this blog.

    First of all, I'm French, so my english isn' perfect as well...
    Anyway...
    Yannick Dahan (before being The Horde director) was doing a TV show about "genre movies" called "Operation Frisson".
    If you search about it in dailymotion, you can see what it looks...
    The Horde can be a good film, Dahan is really talented, and he made a good shortfilm (which is kind of a "visual teaser" for The Horde) and it's really great !

    Slashfilm only mentioned it because of "the shield" reference.

    So we can assume a shitty U.S. remake is not far from being in development?

    Sounds more like the shitty remake of Assault on Precinct 13 with zombies. Still, zombies mean I'll be there.
