Synopsis

An action-packed slice of spooks and laughs about a (kid-friendly) zombie animal uprising in a zoo, featuring a fabulous voice performance from David Harbour (Stranger Things).

When a chunk of meteor slams into the mountain lion exhibit at Colepepper Zoo one fateful night, a virus is unleashed, with the infected animals becoming zombies. Dan the grumpy Mountain Lion (Harbour) and Gracie the wolf (Gabbi Kosmidis) reluctantly team up in an attempt to stay one step ahead of the wonderfully CG-animated fiasco – but as more animals become infected, their chances of escape diminish. Based on a concept from writer and horror icon Clive Barker (originator of the Hellraiser and Candyman series), who also serves as the film’s executive producer, Night of the Zoopocalypse is a colourful, thrilling romp that will introduce younger viewers to the spooky and silly delights of the horror genre.

Limited seats are available for patrons requiring access for wheelchairs, low vision and hearing loop. Please contact our ticketing team directly on 1300 733 733 or tickets@sff.org.au to complete your booking.

The way it fuses ’80s gateway horror ethos with modern animation elevates it to one of the most enjoyable kids films I’ve seen in a very long time.
