'George' the car - in memoriam

Bill Mortimer, who played Andy in 'When Evil Reigns', was kind enough to lend us his car on a number of occasions throughout the production. We used it to haul equipment to and from set, and as a featured extra; you may recognise it if you've watched the film.

Unfortunately, after surviving the on screen epidemic apocalypse relatively unscathed, 'George' was stolen in our nation's capital and left abandoned and torched by the roadside. You can check out the damage below.

Thank you, George. We know that, wherever you are, you will go on battling the 'Infected' for all of us.

Inpress reports: 'Slasher on the cheap'

Melbourne's Inpress magazine has given 'When Evil Reigns' a glowing review. According to reporter Tony McMahon, the movie is 'a refreshing, resourceful and, let's not forget the most important part, downright scary melding of the epidemic and slasher horror sub-genres'.

He goes on to say that, 'With characters you actually care about (rare for a horror film), a super scary location, and a great score by Ryan Granger, this local no budgeter stands up comparatively well against classics of the genre like 'Night of the Living Dead' and the obviously much more expensive '28 Days Later'.'

It was fantastic to talk to Tony, who clearly has a real love for the horror genre, and the article is already generating interest from the wider Melbourne community about the imminent release of 'When Evil Reigns' on DVD.
