Great little film

I happened to stumble across this short film via Valve's game distribution channel "Steam". I was a little curious after seeing the title and thought it was a game, but after viewing the summary page decided to give the short film a go. The story follows three New Zealand bogons trapped in a car in the middle of a swarm of zombies. They're not the brightest bunch and hilarity ensues. The acting was great with the three trapped bogons being stereotypes but also possessing individual characters. Of course as the film was made by some guys from Weta the zombie makeup and effects were top notch. The general theme of the film is one of light comedy but seeing as the guys are in quite a predicament you could easily class this as a black comedy. if you like zombie movies then check this out. I hope this means they can make a full length feature film now.
