Who would you call to battle a rising tide of the undead? The police? The army? Simon Pegg? If none of them were available, you might have to turn to scouts, as is the case with Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse, which is aping Drew Struzan with its new poster.
The movie finds three scouts, lifelong friends, who are trying to attend the party marked as the social event of the year. But instead of having fun, they must team up with a tough cocktail waitress to try and save their town from a zombie invasion. Can these unlikely heroes make it through the undead apocalypse? They’ll need all their scouting skills, but we’re sure success would lead to the best badge ever created.
Aiming at a largely low-fi approach to the effects to give it that extra kick of nostalgia (with a few digital tricks added in for good measure), the film features Tye Sheridan in the cast alongside Logan Miller, Halston Sage, Sarah Dumont, Patrick Schwarzenegger and David Koechner, with regular Paranormal Activity contributor Christopher Landon on writing and directing duty.
Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse hits US screens on October 30 before making its way here on November 6.
