Evil - In the Time of Heroes

Το Κακό: Στην Εποχή των Ηρώων

2009 ·1h 28m · ★ 5.5 (18)

The story begins at the end of the first Kako movie. The survivors meet up with a group of other barricaded survivors and must take care of the zombies as well as other random Greeks that have taken advantage of the chaos, while shooting random moving targets (zombie or not). Throughout we take small flashback visits into ancient Greece where the zombie apocalypse has also happened and we learn how they faced them.

Why it matters

A gritty fusion of post-apocalyptic zombie survival and ancient Greek mythology that expands the undead genre beyond its usual borders.

  • Blends modern zombie chaos with mythic flashbacks, offering a rare cross-temporal narrative in horror.
  • Raw, guerrilla-style violence and practical effects capture a desperate, claustrophobic siege atmosphere.
  • For fans of low-budget international horror looking to explore regional takes on the apocalypse.
  • The uneven pacing and rough production won’t fool anyone, but the ambitious concept and cultural texture reward patience.
