Synopsis: Stranded in the midst of a zombie apocalypse, a man sets in motion an unlikely plan to protect the precious cargo he carries: his infant daughter.

Directors: Ben Howling, Yolanda Ramke

My 2 cent: I watched this zombie short a few months back and did not have a “Short of the week” category yet on the site . Since Cargo is by far, one of the best short movie I’ve ever watched and maybe one of the best Zombie story you’ll get to experience, I had to add it to the list.

Rather than spending too much time on trying to convince you how great Cargo actually is, I’ll just invite you to turn off the light, put some headphones on and watch it yourself. Let me know how you feel in the comments.

This short, directed by Luis Solarat and Uve Zatopek was an entry submission for ABC’s of Death 2. I don’t think there is much to say about it if not for: “Just go watch it already!”

Warning: this is definitively NSFW!

Synopsis: Amidst the racial tensions of the Deep South in the early 60s, a plague runs rampant. Bobby is trying to save his infected wife and their unborn child from the disease spreading across the South. This short film depicting a zombie apocalypse in the Deep South explores the social issues of prejudice and racism

Director: L. Gustavo Cooper

Quick Review: This is definitively a short to watch and that can be appreciated on different levels. The subtext might not be subtle and there is no real originality in the way zombies are being approached, but it’s a solid work that deserves more recognition.
