NORM – A Found Footage Zom-Com Where the Undead Are Outlawed | HNN

The official trailer for NORM has been released and offers a first glimpse into Ferguson’s chaotic zom-com universe – blending shaky documentary realism with sharp satire, slapstick horror, and biting social commentary.

A Bold New Twist on the Undead from the mind of Zak Ferguson, the UK-based experimental filmmaker behind Bradlee, Mourir en Silence, and the upcoming Rodnee, comes NORM – a twisted found footage horror-comedy that asks: What if the apocalypse was already over… but the paperwork never ended?

Presented by Ams Overton, the creator of Space Goblins, NORM promises to deliver a chaotic blend of gallows humor, biting satire, and raw, lo-fi terror.

NORM is a zombie in a world where zombies are illegal.
How did NORM get a free pass?
