You all remember that trailer from Dead Island? You know, the one that had a better story than the game itself? The one with that family that had obviously never seen a zombie flick, and deliberately left safety to retrieve the body of their daughter? Oh what the hell....the one down there?!?

Well, BJ McDonnell, in association with Cinedrone Pictures and Machinima, took it upon himself to recreate that trailer with actual actors, and the result is spectacular to say the least. I know the props and effects needed for zombie movies are fairly cheap (thus all the cheap zombie flicks that permeate the direct-to-DVD market), but still, for a guy with only one other directing credit to his name, and actors who are probably only recognised by their mothers, it's a good effort. Let us know what you think in the comments.
