A couple goes to an island, but as soon as they arrive, a horde of zombies comes out of the forest. Soon they discover more people there: a demonic priestess, a serial killer and his next victim is a woman. And lots of colorful tropical zombies, of course.

"Zombio" is the first Brazilian film to bring zombies as an integral part of its story (before this film, Petter Baiestorf himself had already flirted with zombies in films such as "Brain Waste from Outer Space" (1992), "Hideous Creatures" ( 1993), "Mutant Maniacs" (1996), among others, but without ever being exactly a movie about zombies). In "Zombio", for the first time in the history of Brazilian cinema, zombies appear thirsty for human flesh. Here the zombie bites work as a kind of "cocaine" for human victims, who become addicted to the euphoric feeling that the bites bring and need more.

Petter Baiestorf, with the help of producer Coffin Souza, assembled a team of film interns (and other adventurers) and recorded everything in just 4 days, at a cost of 500 dollars. When released, "Zombio" became a cult film in Brazil and was shown at grindcore/metal/punk concerts and festivals across the country. All this visibility that such a small film had, encouraged many young Brazilian filmmakers to venture into making gore films and it was the film responsible for a boom in films with the living dead in the country in the 20 years after its release.

Zombio (Zombio, Brazil, 1999), directed and written by Petter Baiestorf. Produced by Coffin Souza. Gorse makeup by Coffin Souza and Carli Bortolanza. Cinematography by Petter Baiestorf. With: Coffin Souza, Airton Bratz, Claudia D., Rose, Elio Copini, Marcírio and a great cast.

Andy is part of the recordings of a feature film that Petter Baiestorf started filming, but was unable to finish. The actors in this film are the extras who played zombies in "Zombio" and all the makeup was done with leftovers from "Zombio". It is an incomplete film, but we believe it is curious enough about what the process of filming a film with zero budget was like in Brazil in the 1990s.
