Dumbest Zombie Survivor Ever
People in horror movies do stupid things, but I think House of the Dead 2 has to win a prize for this one. The story so far: You’re trapped in a rubbish sequel to an even worse movie. You’re a trained zombie-killing commando scientist from an organisation that exists specifically to kill zombies. Their blood is so infectious, even a humble mosquito can zombify you if it recently fed on one. If anyone on your team even scratches themselves in a funny way, everyone is instructed to spin round and blast their head off, just in case they go all ‘brains brains’ or start posting YouTube comments.
And then, in a three-on-one situation in which all three are human and armed to the teeth, with enough distance from the newly zombified target to wheel in a Sherman tank… you do this. Zombiedom’s too good for you.
