"The Dead," not to be confused with George a Romero's "...of the Dead," is a zombie genre film set in the deserts of Africa. Filming, which took place in Ghana and Burkina, Faso is complete and now in post production. Third time English director Howard J.

Why the fascination with zombie films? And what do zombies represent in modern culture? Hopefully some of these questions along with some excitement will be given attention in this latest zombie film "The Dead."
