Plot
Johnny Hellfire, Pervo the Clown, Zeus, and Damage the strongman are a circus freak troupe on a promotional tour along with a goth group fronted by Skye Brannigan, whose sister Rachel has gone missing. Along the way, they appear on a show hosted by Tycho Zander, who also leads a sex cult. Tycho's father Harry accidentally transforms the women in Tycho's cult into zombies, and they attack. The circus freaks must stop the zombies, rescue Skye's sister, and confront Tycho.
Cast
Production
Zombie Women of Satan was shot in Newcastle and Gateshead in 2009 for £70,000.
Release
The premiere was at the 2009 London FrightFest Film Festival. Supermarkets in the UK refused to stock the DVD due to its lurid title. Revolver Entertainment released it on DVD in the UK on 21 June 2010. Screen Media Films released it on DVD in the US on 29 March 2011.
Reception
Ian Berriman of SFX rated it 1/5 stars and compared it negatively to amateur porn. Berriman concluded that it is "dull and ugly", suited only as propaganda against decadent Western culture. Jeremy Blitz of DVD Talk rated it 2/5 stars and wrote, "Zombie Women of Satan provides sporadic fun, lots of blood and gore, and even more bare female flesh. But that's about it. The jokes fall flat as often as they work, the story is pretty incomprehensible and there are few really likeable characters." Marc Patterson of Brutal As Hell called it "a lowbrow, craptastic good time, exploding with cheap gore gags and bountiful nudity." Peter Dendle wrote, "The movie is adolescent in tone and content, and the zombies are played mostly for visual objectification and batting practice."
Sequel
Chris Greenwood shot a sequel, Zombie Women of Satan 2, in 2013. It stars Pete Bennett and Michael Fielding, and it has a planned release date of sometime in 2016.
