Women-directed flicks at Chicago Horror Film Fest: 'Everything I Needed to Know About Zombies I Learned From the Movies' and 'Abraham's Boys'

Everything I Needed to Know About Zombies I Learned From the Movies (directed by Sherezada Kent) and Abraham's Boys (directed by Dorothy Street) are screening at the 2009 Chicago Horror Film Festival September 25th-27th, 2009 in Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Everything I Needed to Know About Zombies I Learned From the Movies synopsis: When three co-workers (Jesse Mueller, Michael Carlisi, and Mary Webb) find themselves trapped in their office basement by shambling zombies, the unlikely trio attempts to devise a plan of escape...

With limited resources and no sign of the attack waning, Brian (Mueller) and Molly (Webb) try to put brains and brawn together to find a way out. However, it's Max's (Carlisi) store of useless movie trivia that truly holds the key to their escape, a harebrained scheme that just may be crazy enough to work.

Abraham's Boys synopsis: Abraham van Helsing - infamous, angry, brilliant - a man haunted by the darkest of secrets... secrets that he will, one cold night just after the turn of the century, unfold at last to his two sons, Maximilian and Rudolph.
