Colaboradores
Zombie fiction is alive and well, refusing to stay buried! The latest entry in this ever-popular genre is "Revival," a TV series based on the Image Comics title by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton. This supernatural saga, premiering June 12th on Syfy, plunges viewers into a world irrevocably changed by the return of the deceased.
A Whodunit with Zombies?
Unlike typical zombie shows focused on horror, "Revival" leans heavily into suspense and mystery. Set in the small town of Wausau, Wisconsin, the series begins with "Revival Day," a bizarre event where recently deceased individuals mysteriously resurrect. This throws the community into chaos and raises intriguing philosophical questions about life, death, and the consequences of defying nature.
The story follows Sheriff Wayne Cypress (David James Elliott) and his daughter, Deputy Dana Cypress (Melanie Scrofano), as they struggle to maintain order in a town grappling with the resurrected. Adding to the complexity, these "revivers" aren't your typical brain-hungry zombies. They retain their personalities and appearances, but possess regenerative abilities, making them virtually immortal.
The New Normal
"Revival" explores the everyday lives of the residents in Wausau and what it means to live in a society where death is no longer final. Questions arise: Do revivers have to pay for their past crimes? How does this affect relationships and grieving processes? Can someone be revived without even knowing they died?
- The show delves into the emotional and social consequences of a town grappling with the return of their dead.
- It presents a fresh perspective on the zombie trope, focusing on mystery and character development.
- The regenerative abilities of the revivers add another layer of complexity to the already intriguing premise.
"Revival" promises to be a compelling series for fans of zombie fiction and suspenseful dramas alike. Tune in to Syfy to witness the unraveling of this supernatural mystery.
