“The Undead Heart” is the fourth and final installment in the “Rise of the Dead Saga” webseries. The story began in 2013 with Rise of the Dead and Rise of the Dead 2: Apocalypse, first attempts at filmmaking produced in part by a 12-year-old me. The films chronicled the quest of three young boys to save the world and ultimately track down the zombie antidote. After a six-year cliffhanger, the series was revived in 2019 with old and new faces that now return for the concluding chapter in 2021.
“This short film takes a new, completely unique look at the zombie genre, prioritizing tone and character over what would often be considered the more traditional zombie tale.” – The Film Festival Network
The film stars Alyssa Lightner, who reprises her role from the 2019 film, as well as Alessandra Le Pera and Molly Kelley. Ryan Woods and Jack Hillebrecht return to roles they originated in 2013 with special appearances, and more!
