I’m always pretty excited to talk about short films, especially all the short horror you see running around online.  You never know what you’re going to get when you tear into one of these little pieces of short film–it’s like nonstop Christmas.

So today we’re looking at Life Cycle, and it’s one movie that’s probably better called How The Zombie Apocalypse Might Begin.

Basically, some guy’s out walking on an empty stretch of beach when he finds a corpse that washes up.  But this corpse has a lot more life in him than anyone saw coming….

It’s always kind of interesting to consider how a zombie apocalypse might look in its very earliest stages, so this one definitely qualifies as interesting.  Of course, it being a short film, it’s over LONG before anything actually happens, so it’s not like we’re going to get a whole lot of entertainment out of it.

The Screenhead Ten Scale hands this interesting, well put together, but ultimately disappointing zombie title a six out of ten for doing what it could with what it had to work with well inside its rather sizable limits.
