October is already here, and it's remarkable how I've managed to accomplish something I never thought possible when I first began developing these plots a decade ago. SWARM. Initially, the idea was to collaborate with comic book artists and explore what defines elite soldiers and other things. Now, I find myself overflowing with gratitude, unable to stop writing about it. It's as though I've stumbled upon one of life's journeys, magical realms, yet simultaneously grappling with the demons of doubt that persist.
This blog, however, is about films or books I gathered to inspire me to write about zombies and their drama. This particular book I am doing is the more modern version of the original zombie movie, White Zombie. And I am trying to make it unique as possible with other stories like it.
Nonetheless, this journey has grown beyond all expectations, evolving into what will ultimately become a novel. With newfound confidence, I'm gearing up to take a more traditional approach, moving beyond mere brainstorming and diving headfirst into the process of preparing a book for publication. This involves crafting a polished query and other essential elements and things like that.
At this moment, I find myself speeding up toward the final stages of completing my first zombie novel, titled PESTILENT. Thanks to AI technology, progress has been swift, especially since I'm working with a limited budget that precludes hiring high-end human professional line editors or copy editors. I'm confident that high-quality beta readers will provide valuable input, be it small suggestions or more substantial ones, as long as they come with positive credentials.
The only cause for suspicion is when the same demons that initially opposed this endeavor lurks as a third party, plotting its nefarious schemes. This reminds me of the gaunt bearded wizard in my upcoming novel, "PESTILENT." Hopefully, you'll soon have the opportunity to read about him with a mixture of disgust and humor as traditional published or even as self-published.
My first critique of a zombie film while doing PESTILENT is Gangnam Zombie, directed by Lee Soo-seong. I give it a thumbs up for its simplicity; it is not a big-budget film, as evidenced by its look. Filmed in Korea.
There is no explanation of the root cause of how a cat started a wildfire from a person who was bitten while entering a shipping container filled with jewelry, reanimated as a zombie, infected his partner in crime, then entered a business building, infected everyone except two gorgeous co-workers who make sketches for YouTube and get paid by ads, a guy and a girl, the guy likes her. But she is a bit on the picky side, although she is constantly being harassed by their boss, and the leading actor saves her during the zombie chaos.
All of this takes place in one building and a little bit from the outside before entering the facility. Besides the apparent small budget, the zombies are not as green and CGI-animated as those in I Am a Hero, a film by Shinsuke Sato and written by Kengo Hanazawa and Akiko Nogi. Not as good as this Japanese comic book-inspired zombie film. However, they are well-executed in that kind of degree of filmmaking; after all, they are not old corpses out of the grave and not yet decomposing, which is one of the things I liked about the film. It's like it sucks for the mainstream viewers, but not so sucks, it's funny. It might be favorited with awe in certain villages with little access to film luxuries, where it's enough to make some criticism, but it was alright.
The leading actor is the typical good-looking Korean actor with a funny characteristic when he smiles with a grin that shows his set of small teeth, which is possibly why they picked him. They are good actors overall, and these guys do their best even in small-budget films.
Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is a psychoactive drug derived from the Cannabis plant. Its main active compounds, cannabinoids like THC and CBD, interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, affecting mood, cognition, and physical sensations. Cannabis can be consumed in various forms, including smoking, vaping, or ingesting edibles. It's known for its recreational and medicinal uses, with effects ranging from relaxation and euphoria to pain relief and appetite stimulation. However, its legality and social acceptance vary widely across different regions and cultures. As of April 2024, recreational marijuana has been legalized in a significant number of states and territories in the United States. These include Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Washington, D.C.

I was quite impressed with this zombie film when I came across it on Netflix, especially since it's a film from the Philippines featuring my favorite actor, Sid Lucero. I remember he was chosen by Lav Diaz, my favorite Filipino director, to play a psychopathic character in Norte, the End of History , a film based on my hometown in the Philippines. The story is very unique, with some memorable scenes, strong drama, dark humor, and a few disturbing sequences I’ll never forget. And here he is again, the same actor I recognize as an excellent psychopath, delivering an outstanding performance in this zombie apocalypse film, Outside , directed and written by Carlo Ledesma. This filmmaker is now officially one of my favorites as well. The story takes place in a secluded Spanish colonial-era home, a decaying estate in the countryside that was once the childhood home of Francis. As a deadly zombie outbreak spreads, Francis and his family seek refuge inside the house, but tensions quickly ...
I asked AI what my books are about, who are the similar authors, and if the book is suitable for the big screen. And honestly, this is what AI says. From Gemini Carbon Planet: Our Destiny In The Stars by Vincent Casil throws you into a captivating blend of science fiction, mystery, and environmental themes. The story unfolds through two interwoven narratives. The first centers on a group of friends who inexplicably disappear during a seemingly ordinary fishing trip. As the FBI investigation stalls, leaving their loved ones with gnawing unanswered questions, the families take matters into their own hands. They enlist the help of Wyatt McCoy, a private investigator known for his unconventional methods and penchant for tackling bizarre cases. Wyatt's search delves into a world far stranger than anyone could have anticipated. He uncovers clues that hint at urban legends, mythical creatures, and even the paranormal, leading him down a rabbit hole that blurs the lines between realit...
