Redcon-1 (also known as Redcon-1 - Army of the Dead)[2] is a 2018 British action horror film, starring Katarina Waters, Mark Strange, and Carlos Gallardo.[3] The film was produced by Gallardo and Kevin Eastman.[4] Working titles for the film included Zombie Apocalypse[5] and Zombie City.[6] It is Gallardo's second zombie movie. The film was released in the UK on 28 September 2018.[7]

Redcon-1 centers around a joint British-American Special Forces team, trying to save a scientist from the clutches of death during a mass zombie outbreak. Unlike traditional zombies from similar franchises, the zombies in this film have retained certain human traits, being able to fight back, and use weapons.[8]

Redcon-1 was the first movie director Chee Keong Cheung had shot in nearly a decade for his Intense Productions company.[9]

The film received mixed reviews, though has found a cult base of horror fans that united behind its UK release. [citation needed]
