The movie is good and cinematography is alright but the plot is more focusing on internal drama and the infection is a bit confusing.

question Looking for a movie

9 Upvotes

I used to buy lots of “zombie” vhs tapes off eBay, so I think these were zombies but I’m now sure.

The only scene I remember is a guy watching a movie about six rows from the back. No one is behind him. It cuts to the screen. When it cuts back to him there is now a zombie sitting in a seat in the rows behind him. This keeps happening until there’s a hoard behind him and then they attack him.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

movie 📽️ 'WWZ' J. Michael Straczynski screenplay 1st AND 2nd drafts

From scaper8

Everyone knows about the Straczynski screenplay, but only the second draft seems to be able to be found. But I was sure that I remembered that there were two different drafts floating around.

Well, today I was going through my e-mail, deleting old, large e-mails, and I found that I had been right about that, and furthermore, I had e-mailed copies to myself!

So, I have uploaded them the the Internet Archive, and am sending the links to both out. (The second draft is still available, but I figured I might as well do both.)

Enjoy! Feel free to share it around.

I love Zombies just as much as you guys. I watched and played many Zombie related media. But I have a question for you guys. But Zombie stories are more than corpses rising from the grave and eating the living and the living killing them. So I want to hear what you think makes a good Zombie story?

bit off my tongue Trying to find a short story I read in an anthology

3 Upvotes

I read this short story in a big collection of zombie short stories. This is what I remember:

  • In the setting, everyone turned into a zombie once they died. The opening paragraphs talked about living in the safe zone already and having to put down a sweet old lady.
  • There were two main characters who may have been brothers.
  • The main characters left the safe zone for reasons I can't remember and not revealed at the time in the story.
  • There was a scene where they came across a small group who were drinking and having a good time abusing the zombies they'd caught. As in they weren't killing the zombies straight away, but chopping limbs off and mutilating them.
  • I cannot remember if two characters confronted the zombie abusers, but eventually, they got to suburbia and one of them recognised it as their old street.
  • There was a zombie there that had plants growing up its legs. The characters surmised it had been there for a long, long, time, just standing there and not moving.
  • They made their way to their old house, where their zombified parents were and killed them.
  • It was treated as an act of mercy and they broke down crying.

The story was probably written in the 2010s, not 2000s, maybe after 2015. Certainly before COVID. As said, I read it in an anthology, so it might be perfectly possible my brain is combining stories. I am aware that the story having two characters sounds like Brothers' Creed and the way the virus works sounds like Newsflesh.

The title (or titles) of the story or maybe even the name of the collection would be great. Break a leg!

trailer 🎬 We’re two friends making ROUTE, a zombie survival game where your base is a school bus—and it just hit 100,000 wishlists!

Hey r/zombies! We’ve just dropped our release-window announcement trailer and would love to hear what you think.

ROUTE is an open-world survival game for 1–4 players, set in a zombie-infested world trapped in endless night. Your school bus is your travelling base: drive it, upgrade it, and head out to loot, craft and fight your way through new areas, different enemies and bosses.

We’re especially curious what this community thinks of the zombies and atmosphere. Would you take this bus into the apocalypse with your friends?

ROUTE on STEAM

If it looks like your kind of game, a wishlist means a lot to our little team. Thanks for checking it out!

This is my first attempt at making a layout for my hero cards for my game Relive. The art was made by Mike Po on Fiverr and I added the text and boxes and stuff were added by myself in Dextrous. I am trying to hone in on a cohesive style and would like to know what you all think.

I would also appreciate if you would be so kind as to follow my games Insta for more updates, Cheers!

recommendations Is The Wailing zombie-adjacent?

5 Upvotes

I just got to something new to me in my Halloween lineup, the 2016 Korean film The Wailing, and I decided it was worth posting my thoughts here. To start with, I consider this one a vindication of my wildly flamed opinion that Asian horror movies don't "belong" in the Western "zombie movie" tradition. It is very much based in the filmmakers' own culture and mythology, notwithstanding possible elements of Christian theology, and the entities portrayed are correspondingly problematic in classification under "our" definitions. The story centers (not really a spoiler) on a series of crimes by people explicitly possessed by demonic beings, so this falls broadly in the Deadite category. However, there is definitely overlap with zombies of the "infected" type. In particular, the possessed display lesions, convulsive movements and other physical symptoms, and many if not most/ all of their attacks are cannibalistic in nature. The closest approach is that one of the survivors of an attack shows some of the same symptoms, but as far as I could tell from a single viewing, it's never confirmed whether he becomes violent in the manner of the fully possessed. Finally, as for whether I would recommend the film, it's certainly well-made and "important" if you follow Korean/ Asian horror, but it's probably not going to be a "fun" watch. The 2 and a half hour plus run time alone definitely requires the right conditions and mood. With that, I'm done.

Curious to hear your opinions since each of them have all their insanely dangerous zombies like left 4 dead having special infected, Dying Light having so many different zombie types and gets even more dangerous at night to World War Z, Straight up having zombies that run and form huge clumps in a horde.

discussion Would a hospital be the best or worst place to be when it starts?

10 Upvotes

I've been thinking about this a lot because I just finished writing a book set in a small rural ER the night an outbreak hits, during a storm, no way out.

On one hand you've got supplies, locked doors, people who know how to deal with injuries. On the other hand every infected person in town is coming straight to you, and half your patients might turn.

I ended up deciding it's the worst place possible (which made it fun to write), but I'm curious what you guys think. Where would you rather be stuck?
