Virus Undead

From director Wolf Wolff comes another zombie movie whose epidemic derives from a virus which turns humans into hideously infected cannibals with superhuman power. In a country town of Landsberg is where the movie is set and it primarily focuses on a trio of friends, medical students who find themselves in a whole heap of trouble. Robert is returning home to settle his genius scientist relative's estate once he dies. Eugene and Patrick accompany Robert to Landsberg where they meet up with two girls, Robert's former flame, Marlene, and her pal Vanessa. The pandemic is understood once Eugene discovers a lab behind a wine cellar door and Robert listens to the recorded audio comments of his grandfather's experiments on corpses and animals hoping to find out what causes the virus and how it spreads.

Directed by Wolf Wolff, Virus Undead leans on a strong ensemble — Philipp Danne, Birthe Wolter, Nikolas Jürgens — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2008.
