Gruesome ‘Shaun of the Dead’ Mashup Shows that ‘Dead Island’s Pretty Music Can’t Hide Ugly Anti-Zombiism

The video above, taking video from ‘Shaun of the Dead’ and running it in reverse alongside the ‘Dead Island’ trailer theme, helps to illustrate a point the ZRC has been trying to make in the discussion over ‘Dead Island’ on the net the last few days: the fact that the trailer is visually pretty and has very nice music does not, in any substantive way, alter the fact that it is a work of vicious Anti-Zombie prejudice and bigotry.

I doubt that was the intent of the mashup makers, but kudos nevertheless for helping us make our point. The video is quite graphic, since it’s from ‘Shaun of the Dead’, so be advised, you might not want to watch it over lunch.
