This movie is about a sort of zombie infestation where those afflicted show absolutely no signs of being a zombie. That is, right up until the point the zombie inside of them finally decides to rear his ugly head and bite through yours. These types of zombies would be spread virulently instead of through
contact. Because, let's face it, you couldn't go around pretending not to be a zombie without a face.

Been eating cheese before you go to bed again? |

A bit like Day Of The Bodysnatchers, in which the "zombies" look just
like the rest of us, but there's a gaping hole behind their eyes where
their soul used to be. Then, at the last, they shriek at you like a
velociraptor caught in a bear-trap and hunt you down before
emotionlessly turning you into one of their ilk in your sleep. |
|
| |
Sounds a bit like an undead strain of rabies. |
|
| |
//like a velociraptor caught in a bear-trap and hunt you down//
<pedant> If they're caught in a bear-trap, they're in no fit condition to hunt you down. |
|
| |
My sincere apologies. How about this? |
|
| |
bear-trap COMMA and hunt you down |
|

That's not zombies, that's accountants. |
|
| |
Au contraire, 8th. Accountants have a gaping hole behind their eyes where their brains used to be. I think it's HR Managers that you are thinking of. |
|
| |
Ahh, yes. You're correct. Some days it's hard to tell one jargon-spouting head-office management lackey from another. |
|
| |
No, it's estate agents. Specifically those who work for Foxtons. |
|
| |
Estate agent zombies would not be much of a threat. They move so very, very slowly that they would be easy to deal with. |
|
| |
Besides, it probably isn't technically possible for an estate agent to become a zombie, as they are Undead to begin with. |
|
| |
Zombies don't bite, or eat us, they lick and chew
people to death...slowly. At least that is what I've
been told. |
|
| |
Oh I get it, a new breed of zombies that do bite and
tear apart. Okay then + |
|
| |
I suppose we're taking the opportunity to reconstruct the entire stratum of professionalism out of the undead. It is tempting, though. Perhaps, the whole movie could take place in a work environment, blurring the lines even more. |
|
| |
Also, [hippo], yes.. Cheese... Why don't you come into the kitchen and have some with me? Why I'd love to eat some brai... I mean, cheese with you. Yes, we'll have a cheese party. A bloody, fleshy brain-eating cheese party!!! |

/ show absolutely no signs of being a zombie. / |
|
| |
I like this concept for the possibility of the outerlimitis-like twist at the end. If they show no signs except for a thirst for brains, they are actually superior: equally intelligent and competent, pain free, invulnerable, immortal. Why wouldnt everyone want to be a zombie? |
|
| |
The tireless, deathless, childless zombie society would need to come up with some other way to satisfy their brain hunger. Perhaps journey to new worlds? Ah - the sequel. |
|
| |
That's positively brilliant. I never considered the fact that zombies would be able to travel across the universe. This has been done in movies, no? If it has, I'm sure they looked like hell when they showed up on the new planet, unlike these zombies. |

Baked by the mexican government, only their movie was
called "The swine flu". We joked about how they had turned
the biggest city into Zombieville almost overnight. Wasn't
fun. |
|
| |
Oh... by the way: Hola everyone! |
|
| |
[Pericles], back from the dead??! :) |

Thinking about this a little more, I think the entire syndrom would be neurological. The virus would deactivate and highjack delocalized pockets of brain cells. Because of the plasticity of the brain, you wouldn't be able to notice any symptoms at this point beyond a slight headache. The effected neurons then connect with eachother and remain disconnected from the lymbic system and neocortex while forming a preset batch of brain-eating emotional states to be fed to the conscious system at a specific point in time (such as high stress). |
|
| |
Or on receipt of some stimulus, like coded radio waves from ... Dr Evil? the Head Zombie? the alien invasion force? Air Force One? |
|
| |
Hmm. Yes! Or all of the above: Dr. Evil Head Zombie, leader of the alien invasion forces that have already infiltrated Air Force One. |
|
| |
Ay least we know the title of the 2010 summer blockbuster - "Evil Alien Space Zombies vs. Lesbian Vampire Werewolves." |
|
| |
Starring (we hope) Kate Beckinsale and Jeri Ryan .... Ahhhhhh ... |
|
| |
Oh it has been loooong.
I so need to update my profile. |
