Tagline: "It Grows on You." *full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by the film's publicity arm. Director: Mark Newton. Writers: Christian Hokenson. Cast: Miles Doleac, Timothy Haug, Johnny McPhail and Wyntergrace Williams. Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies reminds this viewer of a much older film. Kentucky Fried Movie (1977) was one of the first films this viewer remembers watching which was truly laugh out loud funny. Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies, from director Mark Newton and writer Christian Hokenson, is also full of great one-liners and silly scenarios. But, there were no zombies in the Kentucky Fried Movie. In this film, much of the undead action takes place at a music festival. Here, a toxin turns the city of Charleston mad. There is a lot of plot for viewers to chew through as the many characters have their own subplots, or character arcs to work through.
