a SABU picture
Synopsis
WINNER OF THE GRAND PRIZE IN GERARDMER / WINNER OF BEST SCREENPLAY AWARD IN DHAKA
Cult director SABU turns the walking-dead genre on its head with MISS ZOMBIE: a rich doctor, his wife and son receive a mysterious large box. It contains a cage with one of the living dead sitting peacefully inside, along with instructions: ‘Do not feed meat – will become feral’ and a gun in case of any threat to human life. Miss Zombie becomes the docile servant of the house, endlessly scrubbing the walkway on her knees. The young son of the family is fascinated by her and the father attracted to her, triggering a series of unexpected events.
