Britain's OCTOBER FILE are set to appear in the new movie, Zombie Driftwood, by Emmy Award winning director Bob Carruthers.

Bob Carruthers is a huge fan of the band and thinks the track 'Falter', from their Our Souls To You album (Candlelight Records) is the track for the movie.

Bob stated, “I recently saw the band live with FEAR FACTORY and they blew me away, 'Falter' just suits my movie so we started talking to them and have now got the band written into the movie, I am very happy to have the band in the film, it should be great fun having them play to 200 odd zombies."

October File will have to do some acting as the band that turn up for a “Battle of the Bands” competition and end up becoming zombies themselves. The track 'Falter' will be also be the music for the end credits.

October File bass player Steve Beatty commented: “It all looks like great fun, we go to the Caymans to film and get a sun tan, drink beer and get eaten, what could be better?!”

Candlelight Records will release the full soundtrack CD. Music from the following acts will also be used in the movie as incidentals: CITY OF FIRE, ALTAR OF PLAGUES, BLOOD OF KINGU, OBSIDIAN, MACHTMYSTIUM, WODENSTHRONE, GNAW THEIR TONGUES, WINTERFYLLETH, DEMONIC RESURRECTION, YAOTL MICTLAN, WOE and ABIGAIL WILLIAMS.

The 75 minute-long film follows a small group of people fighting off marauding zombies who get to the Cayman Islands on a mystery cruise ship that shows up with no one on board – or at least, no one alive.

“What I liked was this idea of the cruise ship that disappears in the Bermuda Triangle and appears in North Side with no passengers. There are lots of opportunity for satire, like zombies in Hawaiian shirts and shorts,” Mr. Carruthers said.

“It follows all the conventions of the genre. People get trapped and besieged,” he said. “Although the film is about zombies and people being bitten and killed, it also promises plenty of comic relief.”

The film makers plan to have the zombie flick ready for release in the UK and US in October, in time for Halloween, and to be selling it to the international TV market at MIPCON in Cannes, also in October.

“Provisionally, we’re looking at Saturday, September 25th for a screening in Cayman,” the director said.

Alongside Bob Carruthers as Producer is David McWhinnie who produced Obseldia – winner of the award for best Cinematography at this year's Sundance Festival.

The DVD release is set for worldwide release in October via Komet Media.
