This will be a must-watch for action and horror fans.

While he is mostly known for creating huge superhero movies of late, director Zack Snyder did initially grab our united attention with his brilliant zombie apocalypse remake of Dawn Of The Dead.

And while 2021 is proving to be a very busy year for the filmmaker – he also has his FOUR-HOUR cut of Justice League arriving in March – he is returning to the genre that proved so fruitful for him in the first place, with his upcoming Netflix action-horror Army Of The Dead.

The official plot synopsis seems simple enough:

“Following a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, a group of mercenaries take the ultimate gamble, venturing into the quarantine zone to pull off the greatest heist ever attempted.”

But what it lacks in complication, it more than makes up for with impressive cast lists. Ready? (deep breath) Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Omari Hardwick, Ana de la Reguera, Theo Rossi, Matthias Schweighöfer, Nora Arnezeder, Hiroyuki Sanada, Tig Notaro, Raúl Castillo, Huma Qureshi, Garret Dillahunt, Samantha Win, Richard Cetrone, and Michael Cassidy. PHEW!

Army Of The Dead is due to arrive on Netflix on Friday, 21 May.
