With summer almost upon us, blockbuster films in theaters and streaming are promoting in full force. One of the most anticipated films is Netflix’s Army of the Dead, which is directed by Zack Snyder after the release of the director’s cut of Justice League. 

Zack Snyder returns to the roots of what started his film directing career—zombie movies. The 2004’s Dawn of the Dead put Snyder on the map that led him to Hollywood opportunities with 300, Watchmen, and Man of Steel.  

His style of filmmaking that combines slow-motion action sequences, stylized special effects, and music—earned him a reputation amongst his die-hard loyal fans. 

No with Army of the Dead, he continues with his unique style of filmmaking with a massive influx of a zombie hoard in a Las Vegas setting. For this film, it looks like a video game in the tune of Dead Rising, Dead Island, and Left 4 Dead. It’ll be a definite blast on the small screen.
