Production
Filmed in Herefordshire at Eastnor Castle Deer Park, I Spit on Your Rave was filmed partly in an attempt to break the world record for "Most Amount of Zombies Captured on Camera". People attending the Big Chill Festival on 6 August 2009, were encouraged to come dressed as zombies as part of the attempt. For those who wished to take part but did not arrive in costume, make-up "Zombification Stations" were set up at arena entrances. Though many more were alleged to have taken part, the record was officially broken when 4,026 people were counted as zombies for the film.
Post-production
Though announced for a 2010 premiere, a completed feature film was never released, but on 30 October 2012 it was reported that the I Spit on Your Rave film was being re-developed as a six-part TV series for the E4 television channel.
Plot
During the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, a virus was released which causes a zombie uprising which decimates humanity. In the year 2018, six years after civilization is destroyed and with few humans left, the King of the Zombies (Noel Fielding) organizes a music festival to keep the zombie horde entertained after the zombie apocalypse.
Reception
Quiet Earth wrote: "Of all the creative ways to exploit the zombie genre, I Spit on Your Rave has got be up there with the best of them", offering that the film would not appeal to everyone and may well annoy many.
