I Spit on Your Rave was the title for a planned 2010 film production by Film4 and Warp Films, who in 2009 released a trailer to promote their mockumentary zombie comedy horror film starring Noel Fielding.^[1] It was written and directed by Chris Boyle, and recorded during the 2009 Big Chill Music Festival,^[2] at an event recorded by Guinness Book of World Records for breaking the record for "Most Amount of Zombies Captured on Camera".^[3]^[4]^[5]

Production

Filmed in Herefordshire at Eastnor Castle Deer Park,^[6] I Spit on Your Rave was filmed partly in an attempt to break the world record for "Most Amount of Zombies Captured on Camera". People attending the Big Chill Festival on 6 August 2009,^[7] were encouraged to come dressed as zombies as part of the attempt.^[8] For those who wished to take part but did not arrive in costume, make-up "Zombification Stations" were set up at arena entrances.^[9] Though many more were alleged to have taken part,^[3] the record was officially broken when 4,026 people were counted as zombies for the film.^[10]^[11]

Post-production

Though announced for a 2010 premiere,^[4] a completed feature film was never released, but on 30 October 2012 it was reported that the I Spit on Your Rave film was being re-developed as a six-part TV series for the E4 television channel.^[12]

Plot

During the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, a virus was released which causes a zombie uprising which decimates humanity. In the year 2018, six years after civilization is destroyed and with few humans left, the King of the Zombies (Noel Fielding) organizes a music festival to keep the zombie horde entertained after the zombie apocalypse.

Reception

Quiet Earth wrote: "Of all the creative ways to exploit the zombie genre, I Spit on Your Rave has got be up there with the best of them", offering that the film would not appeal to everyone and may well annoy many.^[13]
