The zombie sub-genre is already stuffed with lifeless, brain dead ideas. That's why it's such a treat to catch up-and-coming director Travis Betz's short film, Four Years. The seven-minute short popped up on Bloody-Disgusting. The film was actually shot for a Halloween party that Betz was having, but he was happy to share with horror hounds.

Betz previous work consists of Joshua -- a low budget horror flick about a man who returns home for his father's funeral and is once again haunted by his past. Four Years, however, is a quick farce on becoming a zombie. It does, however, bring up the interesting idea of the experience of a zombie, as alive Stacy tries to prep zombie Stacy for her date. If zombie Stacy scores with Brad, does that experience benefit normal Stacy? Either way, four years is much too long.
