I'll See You In My Dreams

A very enjoyable short (19 min) film about zombies.

In a land where zombies rule the night and people barricade themselves indoors yet frequently venture out for a casual midnight stroll, Lucio is a zombie killer. He keeps his (late? ex-? zed-?) wife in the cellar after catching her being unfaithful and throwing her to the zombies. He saves a serving wench from the unwelcome attentions of a less charming man and, chivalrous knight that he is, takes her home and sodomizes her (servant's entrance for a serving girl, heheh). This drives his wife into a jealous, murderous, growling rage, and she assembles her zombie brethren for an attack on the couple.

This film obviously took a cue from the Evil Dead movies, with zombies that are unexpectedly effective in hand-to-hand combat. One shot in particular is straight out of Army of Darkness; you'll know it when you see it. Very well-acted, well-written, and well-shot (with Zombievision(TM)!). Teaches us the cardinal rule of post-Z-Day survival: when fighting off a horde of brainthirsty zombies, there is nothing more important to have at hand than another human.
