Blake Ginithan - Way Too Indie - Independent Film & Music Reviews Official reviewer of the South Dakota Film Festival

He only means well, right? Cuthbert is a simple manwell, zombie actually. While other zombies look for flesh and brains to munch on, Cuthbert would rather play with flowers and lolly gag through warehouses without a care in the world. When other zombies aim to "domesticate" him to their lifestyle, Cuthbert fails with comical results.

This short is way too succinct. Could've used more beef (pun intended) in its run time. Aside from that, I laughed enough to be able to recommend it.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.

Cuthbert is the zombie who just doesn't fit in. His brother is the leader of the nastiest clan on the streets, and tries to teach Cuthbert how to be a true zombie. Will Cuthbert learn what it takes to join the clan... or will he be banished?
