Walking dead caught on film in Alcester

Redditch Editorial 18th Feb, 2017   0

FLESH eating zombies invaded the streets of Alcester last week for the filming of a new horror series.

Crews from Alcester-based Pathogen Film Productions are currently putting the finishing touches to the first episode of Patient Zero, a zombie series filmed using locations in Alcester and Stratford.

Filming took place at The Holly Bush pub before the hordes of the undead made their way along the high street to the Admit One film memorabilia shop.

Kirsty Powell, part of the Pathogen Films team, said: “We had a really good day of filming – there were 24 zombies altogether and we shot a scene when the zombies have just raided a survivors camp.




“We had a good response from our call for people to come along and become the undead, and there was a really good atmosphere.

“We made sure residents knew what we were doing and Admit One put out their own warnings. Most of the zombies on Saturday were quite lightly made up, but we did have one with a syringe pumped gelatine wound.


Pathogen Films are planning to hold the premier of Patient Zero in Alcester and are currently investigating possible venues.

The final scenes for the episode are set to be filmed at the end of the month and following post production work the episode will be released in March.

“We have an amazingly talented cast working with us and we have a great following locally, nationally and even worldwide,” she added.

“We really cannot thank Alcester enough for how accommodating they have been throughout our filming, the public, the volunteers and of course the businesses who have allowed us to take over their premises for filming. We really cannot wait to get this episode finished and premiered in Alcester.”
