Zombies & Cigarettes

About This Movie

Zombies & Cigarettes is a quirky little short that dives into the chaos of a zombie apocalypse right in a shopping mall. The tone is a weird blend of dark humor and sheer panic, which keeps things interesting. Atmosphere-wise, it captures that eerie mall vibe—those flickering lights and empty food courts really set the stage. Pacing's brisk, not wasting time on buildup, but still manages to give a nod to character reactions amidst the mayhem. The practical effects are pretty solid for its budget, with some nice gore here and there. Performances are varied, but there's a certain charm in their over-the-top reactions. There's something to be said for a film that doesn’t take itself too seriously while still delivering the goods, you know?

Quick runtime makes it an easy watch.Interesting take on mall culture during a zombie outbreak.Fits into collections of unique horror shorts.
