I'm looking for a short video I saw on YouTube that's an odd little 'zombie meets girl' story. It was made in the past ten years but done in the black & white style of the original Night of the Living Dead. From what I can remember, a young zombie man breaks down the door of a young woman and starts staggering toward her to eat her brain. She screams and starts to run away; he realizes that she's terrified of him and clearly feels remorseful. He starts to leave, and she sees that he's not such a bad guy after all. She comes back and leans forward to offer him her brains. He bites a hole into her scalp, and they shuffle off together holding hands.
It's not The Little Black Bottles' "Zombie Romance". I'm pretty sure it's not a music video; it may even be a silent film.
I started looking for this video because of a TWoP review of "Warm Bodies" that had this line - "For the record, I think there's a terrific short film to be made about an actual zombie -- i.e. one who can't think, speak or drive a car -- who enjoys a brief encounter with a human before inevitably killing him/her" - and thought Hey, that's already a short film! Of course now every zombie romance search I try comes up with "Warm Bodies" itself rather than what I want.
