Zombie Interview

Short Film: Zombie Interview

A reporter is looking around for a zombie on a deserted street. She sees one feeding on a small animal near a fence. The zombie turns around, sees them, and then attacks them. The camera shakes, static appears, and then goes black. The camera turns back on and we see the zombie tied up against a tree. The reporter talks to the camera, saying that they've managed to restrain the zombie and that it (it's a male) is willing to talk with them. The zombie asks if they can release him and promises that he won't attack them. The reporter hesitantly releases the zombie, who takes a few steps away from the tree, then asks the reporter what they want to know about the life of a zombie. The zombie talks about what the average day is like. He then starts to talk about "pranks" that zombies have started to pull on humans. A woman is seen in the background. She walks up to a boarded up grocery store and starts trying to break in. The zombie notices her and gets very excited. He whistles to signal nearby zombies to come to their location without alerting the woman. A few seconds later, three zombies walk out from around the corner and head towards the zombie that signaled them. The arriving zombies start to go for the reporter and cameraman, but the zombie stops them and tells them that they are not to eat them. He tells the zombies that they are going to "prank" the woman trying to break into the grocery store, and doesn't seem to be having much luck. The other zombies also become excited and all of them quietly shuffle towards the woman from all sides in order to trap her. As they get closer, they purposefully make their presence known to the woman. The woman turns around as screams, before turning back to the store and frantically tries to get in. The zombies continue to close in on her and surround her. She turns around one last time as the zombies start to grab at her clothing and arms, making her scream louder. The zombie being interviewed starts to laugh and the zombies stop, letting the woman go. The zombies also start laughing and the woman looks at them in fear and confusion before running away. The zombies shamble back over to the cameraman and reporter, saying how "hilarious" the prank was. The main zombie motions for the other zombies to get closer to the crew. The reporter thanks the zombie for talking with them and starts to "sign off" as the zombie grabs her arm and bites into it. The cameraman swears and backs away as blood spurts out of her arm and she begins to scream. The cameraman accidentally backs into the arms of zombies coming from behind him, grabbing at his upper body. The cameraman swears again and begins to panic as the zombies close in around him. The reporter continues to scream in the background as hundreds of zombies head towards them from all directions, including a newly zombified version of the woman who had tried to break into the store. The cameraman accidentally falls backwards onto the ground and drops the camera. The cameraman starts to scoot back towards the right side of the camera, where a zombie falls to its knees and grabs the cameraman's shoulders. He bumps into the zombie's chest and the zombie bites into his neck (right side) and tears off a chunk of flesh. The cameraman screams in pain (reporter is dead and being eaten in background by multiple zombies), pulls away, and lands on his stomach. He crawls away towards the camera, but is surrounded by lots of zombies, who all begin to eat him. He screams in pain as the camera pans up (lifted into the sky) to show the mob of zombies heading towards the grisly scene.
