story identification - Movie with talking zombies, one zombie eats his own arm



Looking for a horror/comedy movie that I saw on the Sci-Fi channel (Pre-2009 name change) with talking zombies in it.


Media: Movie.


Original year: Saw it sometime between 2004 and 2009.


Major themes: ?


Tone: Horror/Comedy.


Setting: America/American English speaking country.


Language: English.


Color/Black and White: In color.


Characters:




  • Male zombie (talking) (white)

  • 2 male store clerks (cashiers?) (white)

  • Store boss (abusive) (white)

  • Woman hiding in closet (might have been black?)

  • 8-12 year old girl (talking zombie)


Actors: Don't remember.


Target audience: Teenagers?


Plot:




  • There appear to be two types of zombies: the "normal" type that groan and walk/run, and a group of zombies that can talk, but will still try to eat your brains.

  • Comedy bit: One talking zombie has an urge for flesh while sitting in an abandoned car, and with no other meat around, grabs his own arm/hand and starts gnawing on it. He's discovered by a few passerby, and awkwardly tries to mumble a hello with his arm/hand still in his mouth. The limb is still attached to his body. He didn't rip it off.

  • Comedy bit: Two disgruntled employees in a Wal-mart like store take revenge on their abusive boss by recreating Monty Python's Bring Out Your Dead scene - which is probably made more "believable" due to the talking zombies - ending with one man shooting the boss with a shotgun. (I think the other employees cheered, but I'm not positive.)

  • Comedy bit: A woman is chased to a closet and with nowhere to go, accepts her fate and turns off the light so she won't see her death. She's still alive after several seconds, so she thinks the zombies left and turns the lights back on, only to see the horde standing there about to lunge at her again. Further experimentation confirms that the zombies are afraid of the dark.

  • Ending: A group of survivors rescue a young girl (8-12?) from a zombie-infested area. The group is driving away and making small talk when the girl is revealed to be a talking zombie and bites the driver's hand. The movie then cuts to nighttime, with over a hundred zombies congregated around a single cabin with a porch light on (last stand?).


Already ruled out: Day of the Dead (1985), any Sci-Fi Original Movie (the CGI, if any, was of a much higher quality then their average movie).



Answer



You're looking for Hide and Creep from 2004.




Residents of a small Southern town contend with bloodthirsty zombies, a mysterious flying saucer, and bad television reception.



The man gnawing on his hand in a car then pretending he's not, the zombies being afraid of the dark, the twist of the little girl biting the guy's hand while they're driving away and the zombies on the porch in the end, it's all there. It's somewhat inventive for a shoestring horror movie. The whole thing is currently on Youtube here, and here's the trailer [WARNING: SLIGHTLY GORY]:

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
