zombie american


this movie seems like a total rip off of this ed helms movie from 2005 called zombie american. What gives?

WHAT???????????? I saw the same film last year in Kansas. This is a total rip of Ed Helms's brilliant short mock doc Zombie American.

The tagline says:
"Two filmmakers team up to document a group of zombies in Los Angeles and their struggle to gain acceptance in the human community."

Ed's:

Glen (Ed Helms of The Daily Show) likes to read, do crosswords, and play basketball. He's on the lookout for a girlfriend. Oh, and one other thing—Glen is a Zombie-American. This educational documentary will help audiences understand the challenges zombies face in our society. As a plea for tolerance, it aims to clear up many of the terrible stereotypes and misconceptions we have about zombies. It is the filmmaker’s hope that this film will help people understand that zombies are just like everybody else...if everybody else is a walking, talking, rotting corpse.

Eh, not really. I've seen both. Same basic concept, radically different execution. "American Zombie" gets pretty deeply into the whole sociology of zombies and there's a lot of detail. "Zombie-American" is pretty funny for what it is but plays more like a "Daily Show" segment.

Yeah, and the titles are totally different.
