Not with a bang, but a zombie kangaroo. Ryan Coonan\u2019s short horror film is the prologue of a bonafide zombie apocalypse (and feature film currently in development), all thanks to a contaminated water hole in the outback. Set in Australia, a local park ranger proceeds to take samples from a water hole, despite the resistance of a local who insists that he\u2019s creating an unnecessary hysteria with his testing.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The ranger persists though by hanging a warning sign, and makes the mistake of going to the water hole at night. While there, he proceeds to be attacked by a rampaging relentless kangaroo that\u2019s been zombified by the tainted water! Don\u2019t you hate when that happens? \u201cWaterborne\u201d garners a great mix of CGI and traditional effects with the zombie kangaroo playing a real hand as the film\u2019s primary villain, who is also the beginning of something really horrible about to happen in the continent.<\/p>\n<p>Coonan\u2019s direction, matched with slick editing make the kangaroo a very entertaining hybrid of effects as it relentlessly tries to chomp down on the park ranger. As I guessed, \u201cWaterborne\u201d is a prologue to a bigger story afoot, and I hope we get to see it somewhere down the line. The prospect of zombie kangaroos running a rampage alongside human zombies really does put a grin on my face. Plus, if the effects are half as good for the feature film version as it was in this short, I think we\u2019re in good hands with Coonan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is how the world ends.
