The undead attacking a California gold-mining camp in the 19th century: That’s the premise for Rene Perez’s THE DEAD AND THE DAMNED. Check out the synopsis and trailer after the jump.

Io9 reported on the film, which premieres next month at San Francisco’s Another Hole in the Head festival. Here’s the scoop:

“It is 1849 in Jamestown, California, and the Gold Rush is in effect. The local miners are eager to search everyday hoping to come out on top with the best and most gold from the hills and valleys. During an expedition the miners stumble upon a fallen meteor and they bring it into town and unknowingly release deadly spoors located inside. Soon the town’s population begins to turn into deadly bloodthirsty zombies and mutants. Will the remaining townsfolk survive this unspeakable event?”
