4) Crossed
Zombies are everywhere these days. Well, maybe not literally, because you’d probably have more important things to do than read this article if the apocalypse had hit, but the last decade has seen the undead become more entrenched in popular culture than ever before. This surge in popularity is due in large part to the phenomenal success of The Walking Dead, but if you think the show’s grotesque deaths and zombie kills are too tame still, you may want to check out the comic book Crossed. Just brace yourself first…
Crossed works on the premise that an infection has taken hold of the earths population, turnings its victims into crazed deviants who deliberately spread the disease through bodily fluids. Death by a horses penis, f**king a dolphin’s blowhole, raping a married couple and shredding their child to pieces while their infected buddies watch on and masturbate… these aren’t exactly your friendly neighbourhood zombies.
Admittedly, a faithful adaptation of Crossed would be a publicist’s nightmare. Equally, if a studio actually tried to make this film and inevitably downplayed the adult content, this would cause outrage among the fans, so the likelihood of Crossed being filmed is basically zero. Coincidentally, zero is also the number of f*ks that series creator Garth Ennis gives about people who are offended by his work.
Let’s make this happen somehow.
