Writer/director/producer Michael Varrati goes meta with the upcoming movie There’s a Zombie Outside, and Gravitas Ventures has provided us with the trailer debut today.

Written and directed by Michael Varrati, There’s a Zombie Outside stars Ben Baur, Phylicia Wissa, Danny Plotner, Ty Chen, Francisco Chacin, William Lott, Tiffany Shepis, and Peaches Christ, and will shamble its way onto digital and cable VOD on March 4, 2025.

“Having once found solace in art, a man whose identity is intertwined with cult cinema soon begins to have issues distinguishing fact from fiction when he believes he’s seeing a monster from his movies for real, leading him to question the very foundations of reality…and himself.”

Meagan Navarro wrote in her Popcorn Frights mini review last August, “There’s a Zombie Outside stacks the horror side of the equation full of notable stalwarts, including Tiffany Shepis as Officer Findlay, Peaches Christ, and the voices of Lori Cardille (George Romero’s Day of the Dead) and Elizabeth Coffey (John Waters’ Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble). The stalking zombie is also appropriately great, with a particular make out scene that makes you eager to see the original cult feature nestled within the overarching meta-story.”

“But There’s a Zombie Outside, for all its dizzying bending of reality, is less a horror movie and more an inward meditation on identity,” Meagan’s review continues.
