Videodrome :: Hung Up on a Dream: The Zombies Documentary (2023)

At its best, Hung Up On a Dream examines how The Zombies sculpted their distinctive sound — not so much the abrasive rebellion of rock and roll that their fellow British Invasion peers took part in, but the cool croon of romance and mystique, best exemplified by Argent’s jazzy pop arrangements and Blunstone’s breathy vocals. Drawing on The Zombies’ own memories of being tenacious, starry-eyed kids navigating the topsy-turvy world of show business to reflections on the legacy they’ve left behind, the documentary provides an approachable, high-level overview of the band and their enduring influence.
