I got major goosebumps watching the Left 4 Dead fan film teaser because it's that damn good and it doesn't even involve [zombie killing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-takers).

Airsoft GI and Northern Five Entertainment's Left 4 Dead fan film teaser brings the popular [zombie apocalypse game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/days-gone-remastered) to life. Actors have been casted as heroes Francis, Zoey and Louis minus Bill who is implied as dead. The clip takes place in a safehouse which is where the game starts and finishes at every level and there are shots of the city being overrun by zombies. The atmosphere is grim and dark with the addition of music by How To Destroy Angels beautifully capturing a sense of hopelessness living in a world gone to hell.

Thankfully, there will be a full-length video following the teaser. I can't wait to see it.
