A Samurai Warrior Battles Zombies in Great Short Film SWORD OF THE DEAD
Alright ladies and gents, I've got an outstanding proof of concept short film for you to watch today called Sword of the Dead. It's an old-school style Samurai film that's set in feudal Japan. The story centers on a ronin warrior who returns home from exile to find the island he once knew is plagued by a dark curse and overrun by the undead. Yes, this is a Samurai zombie and it actually is done extremely well! I love the old 1960s Samurai film style. There are some great little details in the film and it feels like an authentic Samurai movie.
The short was written, directed, produced, and edited by Stephen Vitale, who hopes to develop it as a feature film. If he did... I'd totally watch it! I'm a big fan of this and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
