Good zombie films are becoming more and
more of a rarity these days. It's been even especially worse for low
budget zombie pictures. Osombie, Zombie Apocalypse & Rise of the
zombies to name a few. But for the slew of bad zombie films were
treated now and then to a gem such as The Revenant and Exit Humanity.
So with curiosity I put “13 Eerie” into my DVD player to discover
a not half bad Canadian Zombie flick.
From the box cover alone the film has
my interest. It sports the cream of the crop of Canadian talent. You
can never go wrong with Katharine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps, American
Mary) in the lead role. The supporting cast was equally pretty cool
featuring the unappreciated Brendan Fletcher (Freddy Vs Jason,
Rampage) and the always cool Michael Shanks (Stargate SG-1). I was
pretty surprised that he wasn't listed on the front cover since he's
the biggest name in the movie and the most accomplished of all the
actors. Rounding out the cast though is Brendan Fehr (Final
Destination, X-men: First Class) and Jesse Moss. You'll probably
remember Moss as the psychotic college kid from Tucker & Dale Vs.
Evil. He even had plenty of screen time with Isabelle back in 2000's
“Gingersnaps”. So it was cool seeing the two on screen together
again.
