[Boredom Bytes] A Bittersweet Zombie Film, ‘Saturday The 14th,’ Zero Punctuation Reviews ‘The Walking Dead’
Boredom Bytes is back, bitches!
That was inappropriate, I apologize. It’s just that I get easily excited, and sharing awesome Internet videos with all of you makes me excited, then on top of that I’ve had like, a lot of Mountain Dew. Too much, probably. Is two two liters too much? WebMD probably has the answer for that. Before I go check to see if I’m about to fall into some sort of sugar and high-fructose corn syrup induced coma, I’d very much like to share a couple of amazing videos with you. Check them out after the break.
First up, the most touching zombie film (short or otherwise) I’ve ever seen, and I’m pretty sure that’s not the Mountain Dew talking. This is The Road of zombie movies, and that’s saying something for a genre that is often depressing. It’s bittersweet, and if you don’t take eight minutes out of your day to watch it, you’re doing yourself a great disservice. It’ll touch you, and not in the show-me-on-the-doll kind of way.

Feeling a bit down? After watching the above video, I wouldn’t blame you. Let’s cheer up a bit with this significantly cheerier horror parody, created by a group of 3D Animation and Visual Effects students at Vancouver Film School.

Zero Punctuation tears The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct a new one — along with everyone else, including us — in his amazing video review series. If you’re still frantically trying to erase that zombie flick from your mind, this ought to do it.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
