Well I have to say this is a new take on the zombie genre… interesting…
“Making a zombie horror film isn’t rocket science but if Decay is anything to go by, it has a close link to particle physics. Or at least Luke Thompson, writer and director of this new zombie flick, thinks so – the film was written, acted and produced by physics students at the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, which lies underground at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland.
“The idea came from some of us exploring CERN.” Thompson explains. “Whilst walking through the underground maintenance tunnels we thought it would be a great setting for a horror movie.”
In this version of the zombie creation myth, the epidemic is started by “Higgs radiation” which, once released through the LHC’s tunnels, neatly explains the transformation of a group of scientists into a rampaging horde of zombies. This pseudoscientific background is a witty throwback to the hysteria surrounding the activation of the LHC a few years ago.”We went out of our way to make the physics totally silly. We wanted to make fun of science in films, by making it as wrong as possible,” says Thompson.”
