I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    SPOILERS

    Let me get this straight, the zombies breath is toxic, so you need an oxygen tank if you’re going to be near them, and the cars run on zombie breath? Sweet.

    • tacochuck

      I am not too sure that is how it goes. They didn’t seem to need O2 or respirator when they were up close capturing the zombie, or I missed it.

      And I totally missed the vehicle ran on zombie breath, but ya cool.

      • http://www.facebook.com/HappyGobo Justin Kuhn

        Yeah they were kind of inconsistent with the oxygen but it seemed like a setup for some great tense moments in the proposed feature.

        • Boundegar

          Looked to me like they were feeding engine exhaust to the zombies in the back.  Maybe it calms them.

          • http://www.ikaink.net Itsumishi

            No it definitely showed the piping going from the zombie mouth to the engine, and then showed exhaust being released above the car.

    Psychos killing people in movie theaters: uncool. Movies about people killing zombies: cool. There’s no accounting for human values.

      Ran out of your meds over the holiday weekend?

        Whoa, no need to resort to personal attacks. I’m going to flag your post for a modera–oh. Never mind.

          An inability to distinguish fantasy from reality is the definition of psychosis.

            That doesn’t exactly make it a cool thing to make snarky jokes about.

          • http://www.openbuddha.com/ Al Billings

            Oh, I have nothing to do today so I’ll go be snarky about human values and zombie movies on Boing Boing. That will raise the bar in discourse!

    “and make the best zombie film ever produced in Australia”    Better than Undead?   Good luck with that…

      Seriously.  That’s a kick ass zombie movie.

  • http://www.ikaink.net Itsumishi

    Looks great. I can’t remember where I’ve seen that main actor though. He certainly looks familiar.

    Where do all these Australians get their American football gear?

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Linley-Lee/665497022 Linley Lee

       Sadly, because we don’t have shops, we have to send people to the US to buy them for us.  It really gets expensive.

      • Anon_Mahna

        Bigger question, doesn’t it all smell like fish from the swim back across the ocean?

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Linley-Lee/665497022 Linley Lee

           Depends on how you clean it.

    • http://www.ikaink.net Itsumishi

      I know right! I mean they should have at least been wearing something protective that Aussie sportsman actually wear. Pads, or a box for example.

      • Vian Lawson

        Actually, they could each be wearing a box.  But I don’t feel a particular need to see it, thanks.  This isn’t a remake of Zardoz …

        • cfuse

          What’s wrong with remaking Zardoz? 

      • ocker3

        The Pads image is good, he looks like a 50′s baseball catcher

     I used to watch Neighbours

    PS   My ex wife would be spot for a roll in the movie

  • Samsa

    I believe it’s high time we move on from all of this zombie nonsense. Zombies are the new vampire. It’s over.

    The production values are nice, but the lack of dialogue made it more boring than it should have been. If they can’t think of dialogue, then they should fill the blank audio space with some music that’s more dramatic. Imagine how boring The Road Warrior would have been without the beautiful music playing (when no one is talking –which is most of the movie).  C’mon noob filmmakers, audio is the other half of a video! It would be nice if more budding filmmakers took foley seriously, too.
