"What If Social Media Died and Plants on Acid Took Over?"

The internet is dead, social media is gone, and plants are on “some serious acid.” These gargantuan plants are spreading across the earth, while humans have devolved into “socially deprived” zombies chasing a couple of freedom fighters in a military humvee.

Or, at least that’s how the Swedish visual effects house Stiller Studios’s Alf Lovvold envisions humanity’s post-apocalyptic future.

Lovvold’s Dawn of the Planet of the Zombies and the Giant Killer Plants on Some Serious Acid—"Dawn of the Stuff" for short—looks a lot like World War Z and the I Am Legend. The imitation is so spot-on it's as if Stiller Studios designed both of those films' VFX. This satire of zombified social media obsession even extends to an aerial 360-degree shot that is a virtual copy of Michael Bay’s signature camera movement.

Though Lovvold’s trailer is a fake, it would be great to see this as an actual post-apocalyptic comedy. Perhaps a crowdfunding campaign is in order? For those who dig the psychedelic-plant-life-taking-over-the-planet scenario, check out John Wyndham’s The Day of the Triffids and Thomas Disch’s The Genocides, two science fiction novels with plots that include invasive, viral-like plant life.
