Brace yourself…This time it’s for real.
“In the early part of the 21st Century, an unknown virus began spreading among the world’s population. Within weeks it had engulfed the entire planet, from the smallest rural communities to man’s largest cities. Upon the death of its host, the virus would reanimate the corpse until it was no longer able to support itself. Soon, the planet was infested with a new threat - the undead. So begins our journey into the dystopian world of The Zombie Diaries…”
Following thid viral outbreak several bands of survivors are forced to eek out an existence whilst documenting their experiences.
Character. John. Single-minded & desperate to survive at all costs so he can find the family he knows deep down are probably dead.
I love horror movies and have always wanted to work on a quality film of this genre. I love the tryptych idea of the 3 intertwined stories, three very seperate groups of people all approaching life threatening situations in their own way.
Despite a large cast I was drawn to the simple 3 character story of the "Scavengers" diary.
