A longtime contributor to the films of Rhode Island's richard Griffin (Exhumed, Nun of That, Atomic Brain Invasion), Nunes is bringing old friends along for the ride. Sara Nicklin and Michael Reed star, and I've loved them in the four films I've seen them in so far, so I'm on board.
I know what you're thinking. There's already enough low budget zombie movies that if one were to do nothing except watch one right after another for the rest of their life they'd barely make a dent in the pile before croaking. Most indie zombie films take themselves too damn serious. i don't think that's going to be a problem here. Check out the trailer below. The tongue is planted so firmly in cheek one may need a strong pair of hands and a crowbar to prey it from mouth.
From the official press release:
Providence, RI – Independent Entertainment, the newest home entertainment label under the Alternative Cinema banner, will release the post-apocalyptic film Zombie Allegiance Tuesday December 6, 2011 to DVD and Digital Markets.
Directed and produced by Tony Nunes, Zombie Allegiance stars Brandon Louis Aponte (Nun of That), Andre Boudreau (Atomic Brain Invasion), Carlos Brum (Splatter Disco), Sarah Nicklin (Beyond the Dunwich Horror, Nun of That), and Michael Reed (Nun of That) in a riveting and “scarily accurate metaphor* for our politically volatile times.

As per thesynopsis:
In post-World War III America, where the walking dead outnumber the living, a determined band of mismatched survivors scour hostile terrain in their quest for shelter and community. But not all the living they encounter are benign...
Chocked full of gore and dripping with suspense, ZOMBIE ALLEGIANCE presents “a sometimes scarily accurate metaphor regarding the current state of affairs here in the good ole U.S.A”.
The directorial debut of writer /actor Tony Nunes, a staple of the Rhode Island independent cinema scene, Zombie Allegiance is an ambitious apocalyptic undead saga that’s a must for lovers of zombie films and fans of independent filmmaking.
It's a fairly ambitious plot to take on for such a small movie... impressive.
