The zombie film will never die, and as long as it’s popular, people from all over the world will take a stab at cashing in on the success of shows like The Walking Dead or films like World War Z. With Robin Aubert’s Les Affamés, French-Canadian cinema tries its hand at tackling the undead, and the results are mixed at best. The problem with taking on such a ubiquitous subgenre of horror is that it takes a lot to stand out from the herd; people have to either reinvent the wheel, or give it one hell of a spin in order to make a lasting impression. Aubert’s film falls somewhere in between those two outcomes by showing off strong technical skills but within a generic story.
Aubert structures his film around eight different characters trying to survive the aftermath of a zombie outbreak in rural Quebec. There...

Those who've been to a movie theatre from Friday to these days have probably seen the teaser of the upcoming biopic Gerry, which will follow the life of Quebec's first rocker, Gerry Boulet. Now, the teaser has already arrived online. Moreover, no release date has been announced for the film, but it will be somewhere in 2011.
The film is made with a budget of $6 million and the titular role of Gerry Boulet will be played by Mario Saint-Amand. Moreover, we still don't have any details about what parts of Boulet's agitated life will be documented by the film, which was written by [cough] cinema critic [cough] Nathalie Petrowski.
The film will also star Madeleine Péloquin, Éric Bruneau, Capucine Delaby, Eugene Brotto, Marc-François Blondin, Roberto Mei, Louis-David Morasse, Mathieu Lepage, Jonas Tomalty and Luc Proulx.
