We’ve talked about the fuzzy line between Zombies and Demons, at least in the media, here before at the ZRC blog, and of course the ‘Evil Dead’ series of Anti-Zombie films popularized the concept in America at any rate. Still, this story took us a bit by surprise:

TORONTO – Half zombie, half demon, Christopher Lloyd has joined Dead Before Dawn, the Canadian indie 3D horror film from Wango Films, now shooting in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

…

Dead Before Dawn, directed by April Mullen, follows college kids that accidentally unleash an evil curse that causes people to kill themselves and turn into zombie demons, or zemons.

‘Zemons’? That just makes me think of lemon when I read it. Are these Zombies particularly sour?

You might be too if you were always the bad guys.

At any rate, indie zombie movies are attracting top talent these days, with Sir Ian McKellen and Dame Judi Dench in ‘The Curse of the Buxom Strumpet’ for example, while Jeff Bridges will star in ‘R.I.P.D.’

We just wish more of them were like ‘R.I.P.D.’ and featured positive depictions of the Differently Animated. From the article it does not sound like that will be the case with ‘Dead Before Dawn’. Pity.
