"Zombies & Chill": pulled through the screen

"Zombies & Chill" has a premise you can say in one breath and a punchline that needs the last shot. A gamer gets dragged through his screen into a real zombies match. The squad is wiped. A portal hands him a ray gun. He saves the girl by sending her back to the real world, and sends her to the wrong part of it.

The title promises a hang. The plot is a rescue gone sideways, which is a better use of a minute than a mood. bot. creates again leaves the model off the title card. The short is filed under its name.

Fifty-five seconds is tight for a setup, a weapon and a mistaken return. The tightness is why the last beat can land.
