    How about one that diverts expectations?

    Like, instead of slow zombies, you get fast ones. Faster than they could run before. Maybe even faster than some vehicles. Because they don’t feel pain.

    And instead of dumb zombies, they are smart. They set traps, use tools. Maybe even drive cars.

    Shooting the brain also does nothing. You got to shoot them in the ass since that is the way the parasite entered the body and how they communicate with the hive.

    And like all the zombie preppers die-out quickly because they think the zombies will react like the ones from Hollywood. So they think they can play the hero while being outsmarted by fast zombies.

    Humanity would not last long, and afterwards the world is populated entirely by a zombie civilization that looks eerily similar to our own but like better.

      World War Z - fast

      Reanimator - smart

      The Return of the living dead - immune to headshots, make traps

      Dreamcatcher - Alien Ass Parasites

      Zombieland - unlikely survivors

      I don’t think you’re as original as you think you are, pal. Good luck on your screenplay go, sounds like a great time.

        I’ll try, the billionaires figure out a serum that let’s them live forever but forces them to consume human flesh which becomes, with automatisation, one of the few ways to make a living for the filthy non-billionaires who decided not to be born rich.

      I like it. Let’s do that. But then the twist happens.

      The super fast super genius zombies get infected. And now they have to survive in a apocalyptic post-apocalyst. Directed by M Night.
