Here’s a trailer for the new film from Japanese madman Yoshihiro Nishimura, so naturally you won’t be able to tell what the f*ck is going on here. Nishimura is best known as the director behind such gooey oddities as TOKYO GORE POLICE and MUTANT GIRL SQUAD, as well as the makeup maestro behind almost every Japanese horror film in the last 15 years, so that should give you an idea of what to expect when you click on the trailer for ZOMBIE TV!
The zombie-comedy, co-directed with Naoya Tashiro and Maelie Makuno, is described as “a Monty Python-esque collection of shorts, animation, sketch comedy, instructional videos and more”. Here’s a rundown of what the omnibus has in store:
ZOMBIE TV showcases the natural evolution of zombies in the 21st century, no longer a frightening menace, but rather an annoying neighbor you realize you simply have to put up with. ZOMBIE TV answers such natural questions as: in a world full of the undead, wouldn’t some of the surviving humans want to join the majority and become zombies themselves? Would becoming a zombie solve the emotional and relationship problems we all have as living, breathing human beings? Do zombies have their own idols? Would zombies worship a zombie god? Who would win in a fight: a cannibal, or a zombie? How did zombies evolve from walkers into runners? And the most burning question of all: how do zombies have sex?
ZOMBIE TV will screen at film festivals across the world in early 2014; it recently premiered at Monsterfest in Melbourne, Australia. We’ll let you know when this piece of insanity gets worldwide distribution.
