New Short City of Rott Series: Animated Zombies of Rott

This new short animated City of Rott Zombie series features some of the Rotters of the City of Rott. These are original short films, not from any of the City of Rott films. They reveal some of the patterns of the undead corpses as they mindlessly wander around the City of Rott, searching and waiting for a meal to satisfy the Rott Worms residing inside their brains, controlling them.

As a note, the first film I made in the series, City of Rott 1, was completed and released in (early August) 2006 on DVD, the same time as two similarly themed zombie releases, including Slither, which featured slugs entering the minds of people to turn them into zombies, but had to enter through the mouth, whereas my Rott Worms can dig into the skin anywhere on the host. And Capcom’s Dead Rising, a video game set in a mall, released on XBox 360 in August 2006 also. There was a zombie movie resurgence in theaters and home video at that time, but the timing of City of Rott, Dead Rising and Slither all releasing in the same year with similar themes of parasites and zombies was unique and cool to see. I’m a fan of Slither and Dead Rising.
