Undergo a POV Zombie Transformation with ‘Synapse’
Earlier this year, I posted a really amazing POV short film that took you into the world of H.P. Lovecraft. Now, Gearmark.TV is back with another POV short, this time entering a zombie apocalypse with their horror film Synapse.
The video starts with a family of three (mother, father, and daughter) who run out of gas on a highway that is littered with abandoned cars and debris. As they are refueling, they are beset from the front and rear by zombies who seemingly overpower the father. When he comes to, his family is nowhere to be found and he is left to his own devices. From there, he makes his way through the nearby environments only to find himself in the midst of a full-fledge battle zone.
The film nears its conclusion when the father reunites with his family. However, I won’t ruin the ending for you and instead direct you to the below video to see for yourself what happens!
Brendan Fraser is back for the upcoming fourth installment in The Mummy franchise from directors Radio Silence, and Michael Johnston (Obsession) is now in talks to join him.
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know tonight that Michael Johnston is in “early talks” to join The Mummy 4, which will release in theaters on October 15, 2027 via Universal.
Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and John Hannah will reprise their iconic roles as Rick O’Connell, Evelyn O’Connell, and Jonathan Carnahan in the upcoming movie.
Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream 5-6) are directing from a script by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill).
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, but the brand new sequel is expected to disregard the events of the third movie, in which Rachel Weisz did not appear.
“It’s just really beautiful and scary and sweeping, and it’s awesome,” Gillet teases. Bettinelli-Olpin adds that the film “has all of the heart and the character that you could hope for.”
A remake of the classic Universal monster movie that took an action-adventure approach, The Mummy was released in 1999 and grossed $417 million worldwide. It was followed by The Mummy Returns in 2001 and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008.
