''Wasting Away'' (which has also been released with the title ''Aaah! Zombies!!'') is a 2007 zombie comedy.〔(Distributor's site with background information )〕 The events of the plot take place from the zombies' point of view. The film uses color footage to show the action from the zombies point of view in which they see themselves as normal humans and occasionally switches to black-and-white footage to show the zombies from the point of view of normal humans. == Plot == The movie opens with the recording of a military experiment testing Serum XT1258 on a soldier, only to have him turn into a zombie and attack the surgeons. It is then shown the remainder of the serum is transported away for disposal. However, the soldiers end up getting lost and while they fight over the map, they accidentally run over somebody that had been following them. One of the serum barrels falls out and rolls away until it stops and leaks behind a bowling arcade, contaminating a box of ice cream base in the process. The base is poured into the ice cream processor by Tim, an employee who is hanging out with his friend Mike, his girlfriend Cindy and Vanessa, Mike's ex-girlfriend. Mike attempts to mix beer into the ice cream and all four of them eat it, pass out and reanimate into zombies, however they still see themselves as humans. Cindy gets a stomachache from the ice cream and Vanessa and Tim are unable to call an ambulance because the phone operator speaks and hangs up too fast - everything in the normal world is sped up to zombies - but they simply dismiss it as faulty connections. When they go outside to look for help, they bump into Nick, a military private who joins them to look for a working phone. When they stumble into a bar and are attacked by its patrons, they exhibit abnormal symptoms such as increased strength and endurance ( Vanessa breaks two patrons' necks with her bare hands, Cindy drives a katana sword halfway into a man's head, Tim survives a shotgun blast to the chest and Mike is still able to control his severed hand). Nick then tells them about the serum and he reveals he was also exposed to it and suspects it has infected most of the population while the five of them are immune because all of them were infected while consuming dairy products, which might have neutralized the serum's toxins. Convinced the military will hunt them down to cover up the incident, Nick proposes they stay together to ensure their safety. After Nick fails attempting to spy on Colonel South and Dr. Richter -the people responsible for the experiment- and later goes off to steal information about the serum, Cindy and Tim go to check on Cindy's family while Vanessa and Mike hurry for Vanessa's job interview. Tim accidentally kills Cindy's parents when they throw dynamite at him while he asks for their permission to marry her, only for him to throw it back before it explodes. Vanessa presumably kills her would-be employer when she unintentionally scares him into his bedroom and catches him hiding under the bed. Meanwhile, Nick is captured and has his brain waves sped up to understand humans again. Colonel South then reveals the military is planning to eradicate the infected people and shows Nick his zombie self, which enrages him and he manages to escape. In the meantime, Tim, Cindy, Mike and Vanessa reunite at the bowling arcade, only to be challenged to a bowling match by Tim's rival Danny and his team, which are all drunk (only drunken people see zombies as humans). Mike and Tim compete against them while Cindy and Vanessa keep them drunk to disorient them. All is well until they run out of beer and Danny's team sees they're truly zombies. A fight breaks out and Mike is decapitated in the chaos, but his head is still alive. They manage to kill Danny and his teammates when Nick shows up and assists them. He then reveals the truth to them and Mike comes up with a plan to defeat the military by infecting most of the soldiers at the headquarters. They gain extra allies by resurrecting the dead bowling teammates with the contaminated ice cream and pose as corpses in a disposal truck on its way to the headquarters. They are almost caught by Colonel South's containment unit, but Mike sacrifices himself to kill them by activating a grenade with his mouth. Once the zombies reach the headquarters, Nick offers himself to Colonel South as a diversion while the others infect the rest of the soldiers present. Furious, Colonel South has Nick taken in alive. It is revealed that Tim, Cindy, Vanessa and the other zombies have populated "Zombie Town", which was erected in memory of Mike and Nick. The movie ends with Colonel South and Dr. Richter planning to torture Nick for treason as a soldier, which he responds to by saying, "I'm not a soldier. I'm a zombie." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wasting Away」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
