When Osama Bin Laden was sent to martyrdom by Seal Team Six, I would joke that Osama's zombie would be even harder to kill. Apparently, writer Kurt Hale and director John Lyde made those jokes too and have backed them up with the movie Osombie, which follows a NATO Special Forces team as they travel through Afghanistan to rid the area of zombie insurgents.
While the project has a Kickstarter campaign to help raise money to finish its post-production (mostly for music and sound), the indie looks like it was made for more than the $3 dollars afforded most zombie indies, and could have the appropriate comedic tone to pull off the movie's plot, described below.
The story follows Dusty, a yoga instructor from Colorado, who is on a desperate rescue mission to save her crazy brother Derek, a conspiracy theorist who is convinced Osama Bin Laden is still alive, despite having been buried at sea. In Afghanistan, Dusty falls in with a team of NATO Special Forces on a secret assignment. Turns out Derek is not so crazy after all, and that Osama has returned from his watery grave and is making an army of zombie terrorists. When the group crashes headlong into the growing zombie apocalypse, Dusty and the troops must find and destroy the root of the zombie insurgency before it infests the rest of the world.
