I agree. The "phase 2" people briefly mentioned implies that there are better trained agents that probably respond when the initial "collection" goes awry. That's a lot of good potential right there for a more exciting episode. It'd be interesting to see how places like hospitals work too.

I think so too, this is such a well-implemented idea! It gives me 'Supernatural' vibes. It may have to be a limited series, though, because I don't think there would be a lot of variety in the collecting of zombies. And changing the idea of the show would probably be to its detriment.

I work with newly bereaved families and vulnerable people every day. This short film made me realise how easy it is to just continue “going through the motions” and “just doing your job” while losing empathy and compassion, solely for the fact this is what you do every day. I try to be compassionate in every situation but when you don’t physically see what people are experiencing behind the scenes it becomes more and more difficult to see each experience as individual, but they are and every circumstance is different. This film was funny but also thought provoking, thank you!

There's a show on Prime called "In the Flesh" where zombies- or people with Partially Deceased Syndrome- come to life and regain consciousness through a neurogenic medical treatment. When they return to society more or less "normal" they face a lot of discrimination and prejudice. (Not an excellent allegory for prejudice, considering that, before treatment, they were literally smashing heads open and eating brains, but I disagree.) It's in a similar spirit as this short.

this is genius i would love too see a full length feature

Acting in this was amazing, pretty cool idea as well. I'd love to see this expanded into a show.

Idk why but it kinda reminds me of Black Summer. In that series, whenever people die, they turn into zombies. Like no matter the reason behind the death, everyone becomes a zombie. I guess in this short clip, when people die, they become some sorta creature? As they mentioned “we need to be hurry” and stuff. Which means in a short period, she’d become something. I can be wrong thou. What do you all think?

This really did not go the way I expected. I thought the two government guys were going to end up being supernatural, like they were there to take the grandma’s soul into the afterlife or something. It was a genuine shock to me when the younger guy first spoke to the crying woman in the living room. Love the amount of lore and world-building that is hinted at here, but not quite said out loud. My favorite was the line, “haven’t seen one of those in a while” while the camera is a the bedroom wall. I assumed he was talking about the crucifix, but it was so quick and subtle. I enjoyed the short. A lot of comments have said that they’d love to see a feature length of this concept, and yeah, me too, obviously. But this short format does have advantages that made this work really well. A short film doesn’t have to explain everything. That becomes harder to get away with in a feature length film. Regardless, this was thoroughly entertaining. Thank you to all the people involved.

I always wondered what would happen if there was a zombie apocalypse. Would the zombies overrun us, or would the military get it under control, and a scenario like this would play out in the aftermath?

You could make a whole damn movie out of this. Simply brilliant! Kudos to all involved.

I wish I could give it MANY thumbs up!!! Well done!! I love dark humor and with this being both quirky and unique, it REALLY ticked all my boxes. Thanks!

The dialogues were refreshingly organic ❤

Am I the only one who got the impression at the end that there might be something right about the conspiracy theory? Yes, ppl come back, but they dont come back as zombies. Hence why nobody can be present during the execution. The older partner did let the guy die from chokeing, but he let enough time pass for him to come back to life and be normal. Notice how its definitely night once they get back in the van, and it was still light out when he choked.

I think it’s chance as to whether people die and come back normal or as a zombie, that’s why they can’t shoot a corpse before they wake up, so you know for sure they’ll come back a zombie. So I think the guy was just lucky and came back normal, and even luckier the older guy didn’t listen to him when he said just shoot me as soon as I’m dead the first time 😂 the family is probably just not allowed in the room cause of the potential malpractice and also the mental fuckery of seeing granny’s head shot through 🥴

The senior worker mentions medics used to work to save people. I believe that was foreshadowing, it cut to him coming back. I believe the dude just did good old CPR and brought his coworker back instead of just blasting his dome piece when it seemed the youngin was dead. Kinda punctuating the point of waiting to make sure they are dead before using the pistol. Edit: during the credits it literally shows him preforming CPR while the song is playing lol
