In their first ever feature documentary nearly sixty years after they met as teenagers before the British Invasion music scene, THE ZOMBIES tell their story of navigating the tumultuous music industry over the decades and making one of the most influential albums of all time, Odessey and Oracle. "She's Not There" made them the first British band after The Beatles to reach #1 in the US. After years of touring and many missteps in the 60s, sadly the band missed out on their biggest moment yet, when "Time of the Season" hit #1 and became a global success, inspiring new generations each year. The band looks back on their journey, where true friendship led them to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net It’s not your typical wild rock n roll life but more of a story where luck often wasn’t on their side but they enjoy the ride anyway Rated: 7/10 Mar 29, 2023 Full Review M.G. Mailloux In Review Online Hung Up on a Dream lacks narrative spark... with Schwartzman running through several weak visual ideas in an attempt to keep things interesting... just barely getting by at this 109-minute runtime. Mar 24, 2023 Full Review Peter Sobczynski The Spool [L]eave[s] viewers with a newfound admiration for The Zombies’ legacy and tenacity and a hunger to seek out still more of their songs. Mar 23, 2023 Full Review Kristy Strouse Film Inquiry It’s the time and season of the resurgence of The Zombies. I thought this was a wonderfully illuminating look at the talented 60s rock band, that any fan or lover of music should visit. Mar 19, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
