http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=26412So a brief press release for an Israeli zombie film just entered our inbox, replete with a cool looking teaser-trailer for the low-budget effort. The film is called ANOTHER WORLD, directed by Eitan Reuven. Upon scoping the official Facebook Page for the film, we were able to glean a little more of what it entails. Peep it...
The movie is a post-apocalyptic horror/science fiction film. the setting is in a near post apocalyptic future where a biological warfare program goes wrong, and turns most of humanity to mindless, murderous creatures.
There are five characters, which are still uninfected, trying to survive constant attacks by the infected. each one of them represents in some way a different aspect of human existence, a different world-view, but most important, a different moral view about the world and his/her place in it
The Colonel - A professional soldier. represents the political-military-economic establishment, which sees life as a constant violent struggle for power and resources.
The Doctor - Represents a commitment to love, justice and non-violent struggle against all wrong.
The Wizard - A young man, an inventor and an autodidact scientist, who looks at life as a puzzle to be solved. he strives to discover, understand and invent, with no thought as to the consequences.
The Daughter - A simple girl with simple ambitions - sailing through life enjoying every comfort, while ignoring or unaware of bigger and more profound issues.
The Mouser - A murderer and rapist, evil in the most banal aspect of the word.
All along, as the characters evolve, they listen to a daily radio program dealing with the extinction of the dinosaurs, finding correlating themes to their own situation. as the protagonists move and try to survive, and as their world views and correlations to the situation are gradually reveled, the following themes are explored: the essence of evil, the boundaries of moral responsibility, species (and humankind) extinction, love, grace, euthanasia and more.
PoisonedBino Aharonovitch is a legendary Israeli war hero. His son Danny is far from it. He does his national service a s an assistant custodian in a remote base which serves as the home base of “Nachlieli” (the Wagtail) — one of the IDF’s elite units. He spends his days avoiding the violent soldiers and his OCD captain.
But on Passover night, the worst night for an Israeli custodian, his life is about to change. His high-school crush Maya arrives to deliver vaccines to the fighters. She mistakes Danny for one of the fighters and shows interest in him for the first time. Danny keeps up the lie, but fate has different plans. The vaccine makes the elite troops turn into flesh-eating zombies who go on killing the rest of the soldiers in the base.
Danny, being the only one left uninfected, runs for his life – until he finds out that he isn’t the only survivor. Used to avoiding conflict, he now realizes that this time there is no escape.
Danny is going to have to utilize his only skills in order to save himself and his love – gardening skills!
