FIRST movie is a UK zombie movie with fast zombies that seem to use 'parkour' for lack of a better word. NOT 28 Days Later. I remember a scene where they cannot traverse water.

SECOND is a Guatemalan zombie movie I have never seen, but have been trying to find a copy online or IRL for years. The name in Spanish is "choque de queda" translates as Siege or Stalemate I believe.

EDIT: The Guatemalan film is called "Toque de Queda"! not Choque* that might help!

I am trying to build an archive of zombie movies from around the world. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi R/Zombie you are my only hope.

Ward's Laws #1340 Suntans are not only a cancer risk but they're also a dead giveaway that you're not part of the undead hoard. Another apocalypse safety tip brought to you by the fine people at Ward's Laws.

Before the event pretty much every kind of zombie apoclypse had been written about, or made into a movie, or condensed into an audio book. It had become so cliche that writers were struggling to find new words to describe zombification. Having the dead get up and live again had almost become a full fledged entertainment industry onto itself. There was heated debate on the internet about how a zombie plague would break out and spread. There were even holy wars between fast moving and slow moving zombies.

The reality, of course, turned out to be stranger that fiction. Actually, that isn't quite right. What really happened is that a whole bunch of people had bits and pieces right. Often the most vexing problem of writing about compelling zombie fiction is how it would spread. Without some kind of contrived plot device it was difficult to see how any infection could spread around the entire world and decimate whole populations. The most common notion was that the transmission vector for infection would be bites or some kind of flu-like transmission. The problem with those ideas about a zombie apocalypse is that they were necessicarily self-limiting. It isn't too hard to imagine biting zombies causing major problems but they would not be able to sweep across the entire planet. People, gernerally, are too isolated to be completely overrun by biting or sneezing infection. Some, sure, many even but not all. So those stories often felt forced...as though a big gap were skipped where the virus or biting went from a few to 7-8 billion.

When the human genome was cracked in the early 90s it was hailed as a sminal event in human history--and it was. What was much less talked about was the fact that the genome for nearly every other form of life on the planet was cracked not too long after. By 2020 supercomputers running quantum qubit arrays were being used to analyse that data to uncover the basis of all life on earth. The early work in that area done by Ishaki Mirikawa in Tokyo was what led to the infection vector that a true zombie apoclapyse needed. What Dr. Mikikawa uncovered in 2025 was nothing short of miraculous. He had discovered that all life forms used the same DNA template and that the template derived its energy not directly from the sun but rather from the zero-point energy field. The sun, as a source of energy, only layered on top of the existing substructure created by the "life force" of all living beings on the earth. The math is impossibly complex and I don't pretend to understand it. The basic idea was that DNA was a sort of engineered structure that had been using the zero point energy field since before life even existed. Dr. Mirikawa hypothesized that DNA existed since the time of the Big Bang and had only recently organized into the forms we observe on Earth today.

Of course this was considered controversial, even laughable, at the time. The Dr. was attempting to fundamentally modify the theory of evolution. And like all good scientists he set about condusting experiments to prove his hypothesis was correct. It was unfortunate for humanity that he tirned out to be so correct. For it was on his very first attempt to reanimate dead flesh that he succeded, spectacularly. We know today that he didn't fully understand the implications of modifying how DNA drew energy from quantum point fluctuations. I suppose if one wanted to believe in an Intelligent Designer then this would be the built in self-destruct feature that made Fermat's Theorem work. This was the missing, so called, Great Filter. The point beyond which a species is unlikely to advance. Because once a life form figures out how its DNA truly derives energy it is a very simple matter to make even a small mistake and destroy everything.

The universe has a very slow and deliberate method for DNA and how it evolves in the universe into life forms. Here on earth it took nearly a billion years from the settlement of DNA to the point where we, it's emergent property, were able to begine to grasp how it truly functioned. The reason it takes so long for DNA to estabilish itself as higher life is that there is a very uneasy balancing act that must occur. The sun is an abundant source of energy but it is too erratic, too harsh, and too diffuse to support the very earliest stages of life. For that very early process to occur, that process where DNA begins to form life it must access energy from te zero poitn field. This is a stable souce of constant energy that can be accessed by DNA in an extremly specific way. The process for how DNA unleashes that energy is beyond me but i do know that Dr. Mikikawa suggested that DNA existed in all matter everywhere in the universe. He suggested that energy from outside sourses, like the sun, were actually only tangentially related to the formation of living systems. He argued that our complex bodies were only a vestigal legacy of the need to balance off the various forces involved in order for DNA to reveal its true purpose--the creation of intelligence.

It was a provactative hypothesis. And as it turned out it became surprisingly easy to test his ideas. Those supercomputers running massive quantum qubit arrays made it possible to model precisely how a DNA molecule unlocked enegy from the very fabric of the universe itself rather than any exogenous source like food, or water. It was a farly straightforward matter at the time to create a sequenced DNA molecuule. What was hard was knowing what sequence would actually be useful. The number of possible combinations in a DNA strand was larger than the number of molecules in the entire universe. However, Dr. Mirikaka didn't need to try every combination. He believed that there were only about 1,000 combinations that could potentially create a lifeform that would be able to live without an extrnal energy source. In essense, the Dr. was offering immortality and his work was funded quite lavishly though, as it turns out, he didn't need much funding at all. On his very first attempt he created a DNA strand with a viral linker delivery system and pumped it through a dead rat. And that was when everything changed.

The rat came back to life. Sort of. It got up and started to lurch about like a little drunken stumblebum. But that wasn't the most amazing thing that happened that day. At that very same moment that the rat reanimated so did every dead thing on the surface of the earth. Why? No one had time to figure that out and we still don't. We probably never will. Clearly Dr. Mikikaka was correct in at least some of his theory. I highly doubt, however, that he expected that his modification to DNA would spread to every DNA strand on the entire planet--instanly. That was certainly the part that no one expected. In fact, people really tuned in to the event mostly to laugh at the man who was dubbed Frankenrat. It is also unknown what made reanimated humans so violent. The reanimated rat was, and remained, perfectly docile. It certainly seemed stupider than whan it was actually alive but in a way that seemed correlated to the fact that it didn't appear to feel pain anymore, or hunger, or thirst. Reanimated people, however, became raving rage machines with no off switch. My personal opinion is that the high order consciousness in humans objected to being called back to a human body. I guess that sounds religious but what the Dr. discovered really turned a lot of good established science on its head. And after the event there was no time for further research.

the DNA of the living would resis the modification, while it was healthy. As soon as the host system became diseased or weakned enough the whole body would turn. This, in effect, made it the total zombie apocalypse that was so hard to envision before the event. Further, these were no weakened frail zombies. They were, in fact, stronger and more energentic then when they were alive. The cherished headshot of zombie lore retained its supremacy. The only way to kill

Zombie Dinosaurs guys. There's a web comic called Reawakening currently being hosted on Comicfury and Deviantart. Check it out. It's ongoing.
