Evil - In the Time of Heroes

2009 · 88 min

A scrappy, gory zombie romp that mixes splattery chaos with deadpan Greek humour and odd historical detours.

Directed by
Yorgos Noussias
Genres
Horror
Starring
Billy Zane, Dinos Avgoustidis, George Hraniotis
Overview
The story begins at the end of the first Kako movie. The survivors meet up with a group of other barricaded survivors and must take care of the zombies as well as other random Greeks that have taken advantage of the chaos, while shooting random moving targets (zombie or not). Throughout we take small flashback visits into ancient Greece where the zombie apocalypse has also happened and we learn how they faced them.
