A spore is discovered that can reanimate dead cells and cause zombie-like effects in humans. Small doses cause psychoactive effects but larger doses deteriorate mental faculties and cause cannibalistic, zombie-like behavior. An overdose kills the host but resurrects them as a zombie. The spore spreads globally, leading to a zombie apocalypse as the reanimated corpses cannot be killed through conventional means and only destroyed by dismantling the entire body.

1. biohazard A homage to the zombie genre

2. Plot Synopsis A spore is discovered that reanimates dead cells. It is found to have a psychoactive effect in small doses but at higher doses slowly deteriorates the mental and physical state till only the primal instincts are left turning the user into a cannibalistic zombie. An overdose causes instant death but resurrection as a zombie. The usual kill doesn’t work the entire body has to be destroyed. This leads to an apocalypse.

3. Opening Sequence We see a drug deal switches to the user taking the drugs. On high leading to side effects (puke, cuts etc.) and primal state and loss of humanity. He goes out and attacks someone who dies but resurrects. Over this entire time we hear and see a news report We skip two weeks ahead to a group of survivors fighting a zombie and talking. We see a black background saying 1 week earlier and cut off there.

4. Possible References A shot of feet running across the screen (similar to the Resident Evil 5 teaser trailer) Shot for shot remake of Karen eating her father in Night of the Living Dead only with characters from this film. Black and white like Night of the Living Dead so that we can use the what we like for fake blood etc. (NTOL uses chocolate sauce) Call a character grandpa George (George A. Romero “grandfather of zombie)

5. Target Audience Analysis 15+ Zombies popular with mid to late teen. Most of these films set in post apocalyptic world. Most of these films are aimed at this age range. The zombie genre is currently experiencing a low and so we want to pull it back up.

6. Camera Techniques Handheld during most of the opening flash back. Quick flashes of the attack and when switching between the action and the news report. Subtle titles throughout the sequence. Cut off before final time skip starts.
