Excellent undead short subject
no-mad6 March 2011
This French undead film is a love story. I don't speak French, but there is little dialog and it's easy to follow even without understanding the language.

It's a typical undead siege/apocalypse movie. It doesn't take itself too seriously.

A handsome Frenchman and a gorgeous French woman are getting married. The church is overrun as the ceremony concludes. One knows, even without understanding the language, that they have pledged their love "until death do us part," or some such thing. They fight their way out of the church into an overrun Paris. I can't say more without telling the entire story.

The special effects are great. The weapons handling is a little sloppy. For instance, the living fire full magazine bursts into one undead person rather than spraying a large number. Nonetheless, the fight sequences are fun to watch.

The weapons get bigger as the chase gets hairier. Just when it seems all is lost, love smears its bloody self across the screen and the story ends happily.

OK fan joke short.
Mozjoukine5 February 2017
At ten minutes this half joke half effects demo is OK.

The couple are being married in Notre Dame and their vows include "Do you promise to help your spouse to reach God's Kingdom should they wander with dead people?"

They are immediately beset by the familiar movie zombies which they dispatch with an assortment of weapons. Paris monuments become collateral damage until the pair are overtaken.This is the joke and it pretty much lasts the distance.

Mlle Testa is quite winning and the carnage is managed with conventional zest.
