TRUE FANEDIT by CBB
This turns the TV show DEAD SET into a true zombie movie. Gone are the dragging, too funny, annoying and over-the-top
scenes to present an extraordinary quality horror film from the UK.
The image has been recolored and the brightness levels were improved for a more movie like experience.

INTENTION:
Dead Set was an incredibly great TV show and the most shocking one for a long time. Responses all over the globe were
praising it and rightfully so, because it was from the plot over the cast to the filming and the special effects a really
well crafted horror show, combining elements of Big Brother and a Zombie outbreak. And there you already get it, because
that sounds ridiculous and funny. On the one hand the audience gets the dragging scenes and talks from the Big Brother
inmates and on the other hand the horror from running, killing and flesh eating zombies. In addition to that some scenes
are incredibly over the top (Patrick shitting in the bucket, hacking Grayson, being eaten, etc) or stupid in wanting to
be funny (the light machine, the policemen, Marky shooting at Riq, etc).
That’s where I wanted to get in. This show had so much potential for a cool fanedit movie that I just could not let it
pass and I think the outcome is among the best zombie movies of the entire genre.
EDITING DETAILS:
The idea was simple, the creation not so much, most of all because of technical problems though. Turning DEAD SET into a
true zombie movie tries to take all the best horror elements from it and leave all what was distracting from that on the
cutting floor. That’s why the audience really meets the Big Brother inmates when Kelly enters the Big Brother house, not
before that. The plot has been trimmed for better pacing and the worst over-the-top moments have been removed (most of
all those are scenes with Patrick – the producer) as well as dragging conversations or scenes that lead nowhere.
By recoloring and correcting the brightness the image quality reflects more of a movie experience, because the original
show was incredibly dark and made days almost look like nights.
