Zombeer (Netherlands/2008/short)

Still can't understand that I somehow overlooked this beauty from my own country.

Shit hits the fan in the "Mokum Blond Beer" brewery. When factory worker Herman falls into a kettle and mysteriously infects the beer, things get out of hand.
Japanese tourists on a tour at the brewery get infected and turn into the undead and shortly followed by the nation when the dangerous brew is put on transport for the celebrations of queensday.

Very entertaining short zombie flick which sadly is over before you opened your second bottle of beer. Lucky enough they just continue after the credits roll on, so we have some little more to enjoy. People must had fun making this one. I know I had fun watching it. Hope to see more one day.

Well done and way too short.

Humans vs Zombies (USA/2011)

Humans vs Zombies game on campus turns into reality in this movie.

It starts out with the usual contagious virus in a secret (goverment) lab, infecting people routine and the opening score with mutating cells kinda thing in the background.
The jocks hooking up with the nerds on campus beginning made me fear for the worst.
I was wrong though. Although the usual college love movie bullshit is still in there, it very quickly turned out to be a pretty fun fastpaced and more gorey movie than expected.

Like said above, plenty of zombie killing, gore and even drama and humor mixed well together. Likable enough characters like the paranoid Frank, the nerdy Danny and Brad who looks and behaves like Jack Black, who we follow in their fight and survival against the hordes.

Not bad at all.
