But there are so many zombie cash-ins at the moment that some decry it as a tired and played out trend. And there is certainly evidence to support that argument: Zombie modes in countless video games, the flashy yet soulless Resident Evil movie franchise, Jane Austen novels re-written to include zombies...
But a lot of it has been pretty awesome too and received deserved attention: The Walking Dead, World War Z, Zombie Dust beer...
Here are two short independent films that are really well done. They have a lot of heart.
CARGO - 7 min.
Cargo from Daniel Foeldes on Vimeo.
SPOILER - 17 min
Watch 'em both and tell me which one you like better?
I am reminded of a sketch that I once commissioned for my buddy RW. It was a zombie dad cradling his baby daughter. It was a dicey proposition - it could have turned out horribly in the wrong hands - but the artist did a tremendous job. Both these filmmakers did the same in my opinion.
