From EMPTY KINGDOM
"The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada teams up with filmmaker Vincenzo Natali (SPLICE, CUBE) to produce The Undeading, a smart and inventive short about spreading the importance of hands-on CPR, set against the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse."
I think this is fantastic! Topical horror and humor come together to help a great cause. The edits are great and the effects and direction are grand. They have some nice behind the scenes footage and making of material on their site as well. http://www.theundeading.ca/
I think this is a great use of the drastically overplayed zombie genre to serve good instead of the evils of corporate greed and film studio pockets! :)
Good advert made from a tired cringe worthy genre.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I tend to agree with you. I'm a huge zombie fan, but it's being beaten like an undying horse. :) Car commercials, TV shows, teen movies....
DeleteI miss the days of the brutal, Italian zombie films.
Oh wellz....this too shall pass.
