VOTD: I Love Sarah Jane (Zombie Short Film)

Posted on Tuesday, May 20th, 2008 by Peter Sciretta


I Love Sarah Jane by Spencer Susser

The Pitch: A different kind of Zombie Film. A short film selection of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Jimbo is 13. All he can think about is one girl, Sarah Jane. And no matter what stands in his way - bullies, violence, chaos, zombies - nothing is going to stop him from finding a way into her world. NSFW Warning: Strong Language and Zombies.

Video Of The Day, 

  • A. J.
    Absolutely fucking classic.
  • Donivan
    I agree with A.J.
  • Frank
    Not too shabby :)
    And it's the gorgeous girl from "In Treatment"!
  • Seriously great. Thanks for sharing, Peter!
  • Dave T.
    2 thumbs up, a great zombie movie to start of my morning.
  • Jonathan
    This was amazing! Loved it!
  • Emmanuel Munoz
    Amazing, just wish it lasted longer.
  • Albert Brodsky
    It was like Gummo and 28 Days Later got buzy and had a little bastard child. I thought it was great. Feature length pleaz.
  • cellchild
    great!
  • maremagnum
    That was perfect. Really good job.
  • Jackson
    Things I liked:

    -Good effects on the zombie

    -Hot badass chick

    -Asshole got what he deserved

    -"That's ok, I get sad sometimes too when I think about fish."

    I would watch a feature length version for sure.
  • Reason
    I want more. How short is this short? I pray that wasn't the whole thing.

    I want MORE!
  • Christopher Marc
    Looks like this was shot in New Zealand..hope they expand it into a full feature
  • brilliant
  • Tendrillar
    That was pretty cool.
  • Jesse
    great stuff.
    very inspiring to the low budget film maker.
  • Meli
    It felt a little slow at first, but I think it is because I was
    expecting your usual zombie fanfare. I love the emotion of
    this short.
  • @ Christopher Marc, it was shot in Australia, not New Zealand.

    THIS is the kind of filmmaking that might pull the Aussie film industry back on its feet. More, more please!
  • jonny
    Its like a sequel to Gummo...but instead of killing cats they kill zombies.

    Fucking Awesome!++

    Thanks for posting the Peter.
  • Duderinoo
    An instant classic indeed!
  • Matt
    That was great. the smile at the end was hilarious.
  • Sauce
    Wow...No doubt a wonderful little feature. Sweet and Zombie film usually go together like Pralines and Dick. It's also exactly what kids would do after a zombie apocalypse. Ya know, the ones not rocking in the corner from shock.
  • The Dude
    I get the feeling I'm about to email everyone I know this film.
  • Peter, can you release a higher quality version of this? Maybe twice the size?
  • Would watch a full length for sure. Enjoyed it for what is is though.
  • unfortunately, that's the highest quality copy we have or can find online :/
  • Stalista
    This is fantastic, 5/5, 10/10, two thumbs up.
  • orange cinema
    i wonder if peter jackson has seen this. if so, the filmakers just hit gold - and they absolutely deserve it.
  • orange cinema
    ahh austraila, not the kiwi's...well PJ would still love it.
  • Robert
    Nice one.
  • Agony
    What Albert Brodsky said (I was thinking the same thing while watching it).
  • Dan the Man
    This was unbelievable and unexpected. Everything about this movie was excellent. I loved it. Simply awesome. 10 stars.
  • Chimaera
    These are the kinds of things you look out for and are happy to find :) Thanks for posting this. I would also like to see the full feature if available. Loved that last line, "Are you out of your fucking misery, yet?" Hahhaha. Totally cracked me up.
  • estrus
    Creepy, Sad, Funny, Sweet... ALL at the same time.
  • Peter R
    Pretty fun little flick, not sure it would work in a longer format though...,
  • It was shot in Sydney and made by these guys:

    iTunes has it at a much higher resolution. Looks like 800x300 or something.
    I think it's 2 bucks.
  • dontknow252
    As an amature film-maker who makes short films....I'm blown away! That was great! It was a pseudo-horror film, and.....I....I'm speechless, I can't describe how great it was! It made me care about the characters who I only knew for 9 and a half minuets...Awesome! Props to Spencer!
  • Smumdax
    That was pretty good, even though the english was very local and a bit hard to follow... Was this the whole thing? I would've like to see the credits for this short, because without credits, I feel like I haven't seen the whole thing... 'Cuz right now, it looks like a one-scene cut of an actual full-length film.
  • mike wyatt
    @syms. I saw the trailer for the square on twichfilm a few months back, and after watching this I really can't wait for that movie to come out
  • i first saw this when it was posted in may.
    now almost 6 months later i'm still watching it every now and then.

    it's just too freaking awesome.
    excellent script, excelent acting.

    leaves me in awe every single time.

    amazing.

    thank you for this.
  • sul
    That was great...
  • This is what coming to work and arsing around on the works computers is all about.

    Kids'n'zombies, yup I could watch a feature like that.
  • john boy
    The girl who plays Sarah Jane is the same one playing Alice in Tim Burton's movie

    For a higher quality version of it. Just watched it - really great. I'll be excited to see more from this director in the future. I was impressed by the beginning especially.
  • ERoBB
    It was okay, interesting more than good. I'll definitely check out a full length version.

    But let's not act like this was great, guys.
  • MoonDog
    Let's hear your definition of a great low-budget short ERoBB... just curious.
  • hannah
    this is really good for sundance. i like it a lot and i think he should make a feature length movie on this. it has a lot of potential, the zombies look good too. i give two thumbs up
