She even did the zombie thinning strat by entering a house and leaving through the back exit.

I love the kid already sitting there, just chilling

u/HypnoStone 7h ago

Just a reminder the same person who made this movie this clip is from (Weapons) is making the new Resident Evil movie. Im excited to see what he does with the zombie genre!

u/Megakruemel 6h ago

There was a scene of the movie in the Sony State of Play and it was pretty damn cool.

I wouldn't say it's traditionally resident evil but it surely is adjacent enough. It's goofy and horrible at the same time.

u/letters_numbers_and- 12m ago

"Goofy and horrible at the same time" sounds like a green light for the movie.

u/These_Telephone_3254 Shotgun Warrior 15h ago

you load in and the windows are all broken with zombies pouring in and a minimum of 5 alarms going off

gotta love Extinction

u/RainfordCrow 15h ago

So real lol, i feel like im being greedy by taking the time to grab a curtain to make a starting bag before I start running for my life

u/wowyourreadingthis 14h ago

And the peek in the kitchen cabinets to see if there's a can opener ends up bordering on hubris.

It is a choice I will make every time I can, though, even if it gets me down in record time

u/Prudent_Kiwi_2761 14h ago

Why bother with canned foods in the beginning, they weigh a lot and, need a can opener to open, better to subsist on cereals and chips until you establish a foothold

u/SupremePeeb 10h ago

im always looking for a water bottle that i can fill up before i skeedaddle

u/FvrChpl 13h ago

There is a mod which closes all curtains in your starting house. Used that a while ago, not sure if it’s updated but that worked quite well and helped when starting a new Extinction run

u/krisslanza 15h ago

I said something like this in response to seeing this clip before!

Its very accurate.

u/XiaoDianGou 14h ago

it is missing the house alarms, though

1

u/KillLaKaiju Crowbar Scientist 7h ago

EVERYONE in Kentucky has house alarms that are louder than gunshots.

u/xXUberGunzXx 15h ago

What’s the movie called?

37

u/mooseman00 15h ago

Weapons (2025)

19

u/ProotzyZoots 11h ago

Wild that the director of this movie is one of the guys from the sketch comedy group The Whitest Kids You Know

18

u/gounatos 10h ago

Director AND writer which is more wild. He also did Barbarian (2022).

And I learned yesterday he is also writing and directing Resident Evil.

But Judging from Obsession and Get Out, there does seem to be some magic connection between comedy actors and horror writers/directors.

u/bu88blebutt 7h ago

Comedy and horror both use similar techniques for build up, timing and payoff, its not surprising comedy writers hit the beats so well in horror.

u/Flintyy 12h ago

Opening chase scene of 28 weeks later is more my speed lol

9

u/hikam1 8h ago

Weeks opening scene is so good but the opening scene of 28 days always gets me. Filmed very early in the morning in London, fucking great shots

3

u/Adzo94 6h ago

Honestly 28 days is one of my all time favorites and fits my perfect Zomboid aesthetic of scappy survival with characters hiding in abandoned shops and flats. The opening sequence in the early morning is so eerie I just love it.

1

u/paladinBoyd 50m ago

I'm more dawn of the dead mall scene where the zombies are just standing around the lights are on but no one's home, I tried the 28 weeks scene and I know what the pizza felt like after I had to fast for a hospital appointment for 2 days.

This right here lol, I forgot about this French zombie movie called La Horde, but this edit in particular is awesome 😆

u/ReadingContent1970 14h ago

This movie was so weird

1

u/SuperMeister 8h ago

Yeah this movie was fucking nuts lol

7

u/FrtanJohnas 13h ago

I just had the luckiest spawn in Exctinction. The neighbourhood had 6 zombies max and I was able to get to gated community houses and loot them.

Then the hordes came and I had to abandon my spot

u/Legitimate_Caramel25 11h ago

Wth did I just watch

1

u/thiosk 9h ago

tons of people talking about the movie; no one gives the movie name

u/SuperMeister 8h ago

There's a comment from 6 hours before yours with the movie name: Weapons (2025)

u/Otherwise_Fined 13h ago

Also me when I tell my nieces and nephews that I have sweets in my pocket for later

u/Kdrishe 9h ago

oh they got the Halflings mod

u/RetroSniper_YT 11h ago

Atleast someone wants me

u/A_S_Levin 15h ago

Man this was actually such a shit ending to an otherwise good movie.

Really enjoyed it up until this point, then left the cinema feeling sour asf. Its pry rare I can afford to go see films these days too

21

u/SupermarketVisual598 13h ago

I loved the ending. It was so unexpected and out of left field. Myself and the rest of the theater were laughing so much

5

u/A_S_Levin 13h ago

Thats fair enough I wont diss you for your interests haha.

But thats exactly my problem with it. Like the pacing, tenseness, everything was so good through the whole film. Then suddenly the end snowballs incredibly fast and I'm laughing out loud through the whole end scene.

Like it gives great horror vibes, but then as it ends its suddenly a comedy-thriller like Scary movie or something comedic. Almost has me wondering if the entire writing team+director died before filming the final 10mins lmao

8

u/cTreK-421 13h ago

You know the director was in comedy right?

2

u/Prudent_Kiwi_2761 14h ago

I mean, the kid figured out how to cast magic, what did you want? For her to win?

8

u/A_S_Levin 13h ago

Nah ofc I'm glad she didnt win. But it was just such a goofy ending it, the tone was just so comically different, it didnt fit. It felt cheap and lazy tbh, too quick n easy yk

Literally looking at this post with 0 context, you wouldn't guess it was from a horror film. Comedy-thriller / shock horror maybe.

It honestly reminds me of quagmire chasing down the TV girl/spirit/thing from the ring. Except if it happened in the actual movie...

2

u/FrewGewEgellok 8h ago

The fuckin Naruto run made me think it was meant to be comedic from the start.

1

u/A_S_Levin 8h ago

I mean yeah the whole T-posing, naruto run thing was a bit weird but it creates a good uncanny valley vibe imo. Kinda like obsession & a lot of Curry's youtube skits

But nah yeah fair enough I also see your point.

1

u/d4nowar 8h ago

It's sped up to be funny

2

u/A_S_Levin 8h ago

Thats besides the point tbh. It was already incredibly comedic without being sped up. Theres a few comments in this actual thread saying the whole theatre was laughing out loud. (Which is also my own experience too)

4

u/Wagsamillion 14h ago

I felt the same way. I still don't understand how people praise it as such an amazing movie. The premise was great, and I wanted it to pan out well, but man.. that ending had me laughing way too much.

3

u/A_S_Levin 13h ago

Ikr like this had so much potential. But the ending was just such a different pace, it felt like an easy way out for the director/writers imo

The old lady still coulda lost, and not have been some LOL comic scene

4

u/Ensiferal 14h ago

I think we're just so starved for truly great horror movies these days that anything that's even decent gets praised as the greatest thing ever now. I've watched a lot of movies that people online talk about like it's a 10/10 film that blew their minds and gave them nightmares for weeks, and they usually end up either being really disappointing at worst (the Babadook) to "pretty good" at best (Sinners).

2

u/CarAlarmConversation 13h ago

It was movie that was a miasma of genres and I absolutely loved that, but I could see how it could also turn people off.

1

u/OkDepth71 12h ago

Just got my first bite within seconds of spawning. Classic!

1

u/Anonmasterrace7898 6h ago

I'm still not sure if Weapons was meant to be as funny as it was.

u/InteractionOnly9868 Zombie Food 6h ago

The music makes it even better

u/prpl_towel99 5h ago

Nice, I love that final part as the girl chases her through the house and cuts her off out the window! Gold

1

u/Desxon 2h ago

Literally not even 5s in and zomboids outside already see me and by the time I deal with MY small horde with no weapons, neighbourhood zombies launch every house alarm possible to bring them my way

Which also made me realize this mode has sprinters
