Can a Slacker Survive a Zombie Apocalypse?

Last of the LivingShaun of the Dead presented this question, but when push came to shove, Shaun turned out to be zombie killing go-getter. Introducing this new movie titled, Last of the Living which takes the zombie killing slacker and doubles down on it. Here is the from the review:

Set months after the zombie apocalypse, Last of the Living finds three slackers surviving the rise of the living dead by hiding out in abandoned homes and ransacking grocery stores. Morgan (Morgan Williams), a self-absorbed jackass, and Ash (Ashleigh Southam), a hopeless goofball, are childhood best friends. The third member of their party is Johnny (Robert Faith), a whacked out rock drummer and aspiring kickboxer who specializes in a move called the “berserker” that is highly ineffective. How these three idiots have managed to survive a night of hard drinking is hard to fathom, let alone the dead coming back from the grave. But survive they have, fueled by the hope of meeting some hot chicks and maybe landing a record deal (never mind the fact there’s no one left to listen to music). Our wonder trio stumble across Stef (Emily Paddon-Brown) and her father, two other survivors of the zombie plague. As fate would have it, not only is Stef a hot chick, she’s also a scientist who believes she has discovered a serum to reverse the disease that has created zombies. The only problem is that she must get the serum from a hospital surrounded by the walking dead, and then fly it to a near-by island. With nothing better to do, our heroes decide to help her.

Maybe a slacker is a bad word for them because a slacker would just chill out in the abandoned apartment until all the food ran out. Needless to say, seeking hot chicks in the land of the dead sounds like a prescription for instant death. The real interesting part is that the movie was made for five thousand bucks. If anyone has seen this, I’d be interested to know how it turned out. That said, I think slackers would be the first ones to go. At least, while cable still functioned.
