Rockabilly Zombie Weekend is a 2013 feature film that is Exactly What It Says on the Tin.Becky and Grant are a redneck couple set to get married, and they decide to throw a big Rockabilly themed wedding at the old family barn in Central Florida, ignoring warnings of an outbreak of West Nile. Unbeknownst to them, a mysterious mosquito repellent sprayed by a cropduster has created something altogether more deadly...Without warning, those hit by the repellent cloud or bit by infected animals transform into shambling monstrosities, their innards liquefying and driven by a primal urge to eat every living thing they see before they drop dead. Becky, Grant, and their family and friends must flee the chaos of the wedding as it comes under attack from their former companions. They don't care about what caused the virus or why it's happening. They just care about making it out of the city alive.Rockabilly Zombie Weekend is the pet project of Tammy Bennett, an amateur screenwriter and doctor of Oriental medicine from Longwood, Florida. Combining her love of music with her love of horror films and zombies, she began work in 2011 by herself. With the help of local director Jaime-Velez Soto and her family and friends, she raised the funds and successfully put together a feature film with almost 200 extras, guns, fire, cars, crashes, soldiers, and aircraft.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Bo and Patti have a relationship that could hardly be described as "amicable". But he begins to show more concern for her (and others) during the escape, and when she gets infected and begins to turn at the airport, he tearfully kills her and then shoots himself out of grief.

Trailers Always Spoil: The teaser trailer shows the deaths of Micca and Layla and has several closeups of zombified Shifty. The full trailer adds the death of Woody. However, only the death of Layla is outright shown, while Micca and Woody are partially or entirely off-screen when shot.

Sound-Only Death: An especially terrifying instance: Patti hears gunfire while smoking crack on a forest road at night and ducks down out of sight. All she can see is the victim's flashlight wildly waving across the truck, but she hears his screams and continued gunshots until everything goes quiet. She finally sits up and drives away in shock, barely noticing the gore smeared on her windshield...

Revolvers Are Just Better: Most of the handguns seen in the film are revolvers, with Woody getting good use out of one at the bar. In fact, the only semi-automatic seen outside of a soldier's holster is used by Patti once. To shoot Grant in the leg by accident.

Not Using the "Z" Word: Averted. While occasionally referred to as "monsters", the protagonists immediately admit that there's no possible explanation beyond zombies for what they just saw. Unfortunately, they still take a few losses before connecting the feelings of illness and bites with zombification.

Zombie Gait
 Rockabilly Zombie Weekend / int_55172a70
comment
Zombie Gait: The zombies mostly shuffle around and only slightly pick up the pace when they've located food, but within about 10 feet an adrenaline burst kicks in and they become capable of tackles, forceful grabs, and even rapid, animalistic struggling and clawing/biting. As such, attempting to fight the zombies hand to hand is often a massive risk.

Painful Transformation
 Rockabilly Zombie Weekend / int_5ff9310b
comment
Painful Transformation: The first zombie's transformation is shown in full detail, consisting of excruciating pain, vomiting and defecation of the black liquid remains of their innards, and apparent death after several minutes of screaming in horrible agony before suddenly returning as a zombie. Several others are shown in similar stages, with Tall Joe stumbling right into the wedding and continuing to spray black bile while thrashing before expiring and reviving. Patti and Ginger take a much more quiet infection and seem to simply fall unconscious after a while, though Patti's did come from a spider bite...

Zombie Apocalypse: Only implied, as the film takes place over a 24 hour period and the entire section with the zombies is even less time. Regardless, within mere hours the tri-county area has been almost completely overcome by the shambling hordes and small bands of survivors are left fighting for their lives in a nearly abandoned town.

In particular is a black Mercury Marauder X-100◊ driven by Becky, of which less than 9000 were made. This car in particular was loaned by Bruce Wood, another local filmmaker and screenwriter for ''Cassadaga''.

Our Zombies Are Different
 Rockabilly Zombie Weekend / int_8ba9512b
comment
Our Zombies Are Different: The Rockabilly zombies are not deceased, and their internal organs begin to liquefy into a black goop that they constantly vomit up as they transform. As their lifespan continues, more of their organs liquefy (giving them a distinctive trail of black liquid running down their chins and chests) and their veins begin to turn deeper blue/purple and finally bulge from the skin◊. Their eyes turn red, and as they reach the "final stage" their flesh begins to peel away◊. Despite the initial spread thanks to mosquito repellent, the zombie virus is most certainly able to be transmitted through bites and scratches. As expected, this becomes a plot point.

Circular Drive: Due to the difficulty in acquiring enough extras to fill up the scenes, certain camera angles and bringing back extras (who changed their clothes, makeup, and even their hair to look different). In particular, the wedding scene managed to fill up an area almost an acre in size with only a few dozen people and managed to not visibly show extras teleporting.

Definitely Just a Cold: The zombie virus takes some time to finally transform the infected, with them suffering from nausea, sweating, and lightheadedness.

comment
Cool Bike: The biker at the start of the film has one (the actor, Scott Singer, owns the Insta-Gator Chopper custom motorcycle builder and also piloted the helicopter for the finale and aerial shots), and Curtis leaves the convenience store on a similar one. At the beginning of the film, a pair of bikers speed by Becky and Micca on a pair of "crotch rockets", one of them popping a wheelie as he passes by.

Improbable Aiming Skills: Averted, as the characters are seen taking time to aim and miss a number of shots that aren't at point blank range.

Zombie Infectee: Micca gets bit during the initial chaos, while Ginger is bit while fleeing the convenience store after she shoots the zombified Micca. Subverted in that Ginger is apparently eaten before fully turning at the bar.

Boom, Headshot!: The preferred method of zombie killing, as they often just stand back up after taking other hits.

Hollywood Darkness
 Rockabilly Zombie Weekend / int_ca81eae7
comment
Hollywood Darkness: Typically averted throughout the film. The zombie menace hasn't lasted nearly long enough to result in a loss of power, so many of the night scenes take place either in well-lit open areas (like parking lots or an airport) or indoors. Only a handful of scenes take place out on the road, with lighting often so dark that the background isn't even visible outside the truck.

Absurdly Sharp Blade
 Rockabilly Zombie Weekend / int_e0c00a95
comment
Absurdly Sharp Blade: Subverted during filming and averted in the final cut: the prosthetic for a dismemberment shot was built for a chainsaw to take it off, but the stunt was scrapped for safety reasons. J. Benedict Larmore actually had to make two chops with the machete to take the arm off (aiming for a very precise spot to dismember the prosthetic correctly), and while the editing makes it look like a single strike, it still only partially dismembers the arm.

Gorn: Mostly through the zombies eating their victims, represented by various meats and sweet potatoes slathered in a sauce. There's also a lingering shot of a ripped-open torso at the bar, and the first zombie loses a tooth when he falls during the transformation process.

Only a Flesh Wound: Averted when Grant gets shot in the leg. The pain and blood loss take a toll on him for a short time, and he's still limping for the rest of the film.
