Dog-Friendly Zombie Flicks

Play Dead Spotlights the Canine Survivors of the Zombie Apocalypse

— April 12, 2011 — Unique
Play Dead is without a doubt one of the strangest zombie movies I have ever seen. The film takes place in Miami and features tons of zombies, guns and dogs. Actually, the dogs are the stars in this film, which focuses on what happens to the dogs owned by the survivors of the zombie apocalypse.

In the words of the film's creators, the movie is what would happen if Homeward Bound met the zombie apocalypse. The film is seeking funding via Kickstarter to make the film "big." I don't know what "big" means, but I do know that Play Dead is one of the most original zombie stories I have ever seen. Check out the trailer here and decide for yourself.
Trend Themes
1. Canine Apocalypse - Opportunity for pet food and services companies to develop products and solutions for owners and their dogs to survive the zombie apocalypse together.
2. Zombie Pet Entertainment - Opportunity for movie and TV studios to create more zombie-themed entertainment that centers around animal characters.
3. Crowd-funded Movies - Opportunity for filmmakers and studios to use platforms like Kickstarter to get funding for unique and unconventional movie ideas.
Industry Implications
1. Pet Food and Services - Companies in this industry can capitalize on the concept of canine apocalypse by developing new product lines that cater to dog owners who are preparing for disasters.
2. Entertainment - Studios and producers in this industry can create more zombie-themed entertainment that incorporates pets as main characters, borrowing from the success of Play Dead.
3. Film Production - Opportunity for filmmakers to use crowdfunding to get unique and unconventional movie ideas off the ground, like the creators of Play Dead are doing with their zombie dog movie.
