Second horror movie by Avati after La casa dalle finestre che ridono, Zeder is an atypical zombie-movie set in the provincial life of Emilia-Romagna region.
The young journalist Stefano (Gabriele Lavia) gets from his wife Alessandra (Anne Canovas) a used typewriter. Accidentally, he realizes that the tape is still engraved with some sentences types by the previous owner. He starts investiganting the text and finds out that Paolo Zeder, a scientist from the 50s had carried out mysterious studies on K lands, special areas where buried dead bodies can come back to life.

LOCATION The film was shot between Bologna and Milano Marittima.
The main nd most picturesque location is the former holiday house of Colonia Varese in Milano Marittima (viale Matteotti) (going north) a sort of small city built in 1938 with a pure Fascist architectural style, over a covered surface of 4,300 square meters and an overall volume of 62,000 cubic meters, likely to host up to a thousand boys and girls, as usual strictly sorted out in separate refectories and dormitories.
