Zombie apocalypse begins at the Large Hadron Collider

You might recall when they discovered the Higgs Particle at the Large Hadron Collider, that I wrote about what is a Higgs particle and why does anyone care.

Now a group of PhD students who work there have made a zombie movie shot on site.  The premise goes that radiation from the Higgs experiments has turned a maintenance crew into zombies who now shamble through the maintenance corridors in search of brains, a food source which should, in theory, be quite plentiful at the LHC.

The movie is acted with all the skill that you would expect a bunch of nuclear physicists to bring to the thespian arts.  But they did a pretty good job on the production.

The movie's 75 minutes.  Here's the trailer:

You know, I was more worried about spontaneous black hole events than zombies, but I'm willing to switch anxieties for this premise.

Thanks for sharing it, Gary!

Very Similar to South of Sanity, in that a group of scientists in Antarctica decided to pass the long nights making a film about a serial killer murdering a group of scientists in Antarctica.

A new source of funding :)

Now that sounds like a plot that would work.

Apparently the film went viral and has been picked up by an American producer
