Dionne Talbott and her
husband, Joe Bryant, own and operate a family vineyard. After yet another
failed crop, Joe wants to give up on their dream and sell the vineyard. Dionne
solicits the help of her mother Audra, a practicing witch, who casts a spell on
the farm. The following year they have such a bountiful harvest that they hire
an old friend, Professor Frank, to help them pick the grapes. Professor Frank gets four college students to join him over the weekend. While
working, they begin to notice phenomenal growth rates for the vines. Professor
Frank ventures into the woods to investigate the water supply after their
neighbor disappears. Dionne becomes suspicious and confronts her mother about
the exact nature of the spell. Audra finally admits to her and Joe the
potential threat it brings: the vegetation may attack people and turn them into
zombies! They immediately summon the four students inside the house for their
own safety. After Joe finds Professor Frank's bag in the woods, they reach the
conclusion that he may be a zombie. Their fears are compounded when their
missing neighbor emerges as a zombie and attacks Joe and Dionne. They retreat
to the house only to realize that it has become a prison. Unable to flee or
call for help, they must stand and fight the vegan zombies the only way they
can: by concocting a counter spell and face the zombies in their own fields.REVIEWS: "I certainly recommend check out this movie,... and to buy the movie...You won't regret it. A campy delight." Tim Masson, Vault of Obscurity (http://www.vaultofobscurity.com/attack-of-the-vegan-zombies-2010.html) "...a better-than-average micro-budget horror flick, and it'll certainly be interesting to see what Townsend is able to do with more cash at his disposal." David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews. (http://www.reelfilm.com/amazind1.htm#attack). "It is customary to praise this kind of film for showcasing the filmmakers' "promise" - and Attack of the Vegan Zombies certainly does that. But it doesn't require such a back-handed compliment, for it is, despite a roughness born from cheapness that no amount of talent can erase, one of the more interesting zombie movies to come down the pike recently. Sure, I look forward to seeing what Townsend can do with some real resources; but that doesn't mean that I didn't thoroughly enjoy what he could do on a shoestring." Timothy Brayton, Antagony & Ecstasy (http://antagonie.blogspot.com/2010/04/indie-corner-vol-20.html).
"Townsend's clever horror contribution makes us hope to see more from him in the future. And many of us will be more careful walking through vineyards after seeing his little indie gem." Betty Jo Tucker, ReelTalk Movie Reviews (http://www.reeltalkreviews.com/browse/viewitem.asp?type=review&id=3308) "Attack of the Vegan Zombies! really impressed me. Super multi-tasker Jim Townsend, who wrote, directed, produced and acted in the film, has created a very enjoyable, very unique zombie film that will no doubt become a cult favorite. I had a blast watching this film and think you will too." - Fatally Yours (http://www.fatally-yours.com/horror-reviews/attack-of-the-vegan-zombies-2009/)
"...every actor gave their best performances in this film, which I thoroughly enjoyed watching." Jason Archer, dvdresurrections.com. (http://dvdresurrections.com/MovieReview_AttackOfTheVeganZombies.html) "Jim Townsend pays careful attention to all of the characters present – even when it comes to cliche characters like the nerds or the airhead party girls – allowing them to emerge with three-dimensional life, not as cut-out caricatures. It is all shot with a professionalism that belies the self-confessed micro-budgeted nature of the film." - Richard Scheib, Moria, Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Film Review. (http://www.moria.co.nz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4501&Itemid=0). "This is the movie you watch with an eye to the future-superior production values, especially Max Fischer's cinematography, some good acting, and a lot of promise for movies yet to come. Plus ATTACK OF THE VEGAN ZOMBIES serves as a model for those people who say, "It can't be done here." To those people I say - yes it can, but it's up to you to make it happen." John Porter, Fangoria.com (http://www.fangoria.com/moviestv/reviews/horror-film/4643-attack-of-the-vegan-zombies-film-review.html) "...I have to give respect to Jim Townsend and all the really capable talents behind Attack of the Vegan Zombies as they managed to create a fairly surprising little horror-comedy...it defies a lot of genre conventions and general ideas of just what might constitute a film that follows such a genre themed plot." Josh Samford, Rogue Cinema. (http://www.roguecinema.com/article1971.html) "Townsend isn’t interested in reinventing horror movie makeup. He’s having a blast with genre conventions, and it’s fun to watch a movie go for broke with such limited resources." - Christian Toto, whatwouldtotowatch.com (http://whatwouldtotowatch.com/2010/03/14/attack-of-the-vegan-zombies-hold-the-brains-please/)

Attack of the Vegan Zombies!

SYNOPSIS
Dionne Talbott and her
husband, Joe Bryant, own and operate a family vineyard. After yet another
failed crop, Joe wants to give up on their dream and sell the vineyard. Dionne
solicits the help of her mother Audra, a practicing witch, who casts a spell on
the farm. The following year they have such a bountiful harvest that they hire
an old friend, Professor Frank, to help them pick the grapes. Professor Frank
arrives with four college students to join him over the weekend. While working,
they begin to notice phenomenal growth rates for the vines. Professor Frank
ventures into the woods to investigate the water supply after their neighbor
disappears. Dionne becomes suspicious and confronts her mother about the exact
nature of the spell. Audra finally admits to her and Joe the potential threat
it brings: the vegetation may attack people and turn them into zombies! They
immediately summon the four students inside the house for their own safety.
After Joe finds Professor Frank's bag in the woods, they reach the conclusion
that he may be a zombie. Their fears are compounded when their missing neighbor
emerges as a zombie and attacks Joe and Dionne. They retreat to the house only
to realize that it has become a prison. Unable to flee or call for help, they
must stand and fight the vegan zombies the only way they can: by concocting a
counter spell and face the zombies in their own fields.
