A parody of disaster and zombie movies by the mysterious Winshluss (aka Vincent Paronnaud, director of PERSEPOLIS). The story of dramatic events in small French town following a meteorite hit: everyone turns into zombies! The catastrophe takes place while a Parisian journalist is broadcasting a story about the event of the year; "The battle of Villemolle"; which is supposed to attract tourists to the town. Luckily, Villemolle's valiant mayor Frank Ballon and his sidekicks will lead an unrelenting battle against the bloodthirsty living dead! VILLEMOLLE 81 will make your day with its man hunt and chase scenes, handmade splatter, mutilation, and nuclear explosion scenes. Simultaneously, Vincent Paronnaud's newest film is a reflection on the position of the zombie in the contemporary French society. DIRECTOR'S NOTE: "The first half of the film assembles totally heterogeneous elements, among them an educational film about the hamster sausage and an animated propaganda film about the Zoltarian sect. [...] VILLEMOLLE 81 is above all a comic film. It's a subtle mixture of Rohmer and Romero.
