Today I will be discussing the short film Play Dead.
Now this film has a interesting concept, having what animals in this case Dogs, do during a zombie apocalipse. Where in most Zombie films there are often no animals seen other than the 2004 remake of Dawn Of The Dead, where they find a dog in a mall carpark.
Now getting to the film itself, it has a nice way of introducing the character's showing them with their owner and how they ended up roaming the street due to the owners being eaten, or in one case turning into a zombie. This film introduces them with a nice title scene for each character, but seems abit rubbish at times introducing them in such a way but dont seem to do much with their profiles, adding a comical effect at times i'm guessing dog owners who can relate to them. But with this they also introduce characters at all points for what seems to be no reason, such as introducing a new character dog right at the very end of the film, where all they did was run off as a pack.
Other than this the film is very good, having a nice story line, from the beginning being a clear indication of character's and showing who they are in a simple way, without making the dog's talk. A nice middle section where the dogs are roaming around by themselves with some of them grouping together usually in pairs. and finally showing survivors who are taking in and "rescuing" dogs off the street, and what they do to them, which makes the conclusion think they deserve it.
Here is the short film, give it a watch and see what you think, now i like dogs but i'm not sure if this has many "Doglover's" inside jokes there, if so do tell in the comments.
