Stars: Richie Jackson, Jacques Grimbeek | Written and Directed by Eileen Yaghoobian
In a post-apocalyptic world only populated by skateboarders, a quietly spreading synthetic drug is transforming female users into skater zombies. Following on from the 2022 short Skater Zombies that offered a taster of this world, Skater Zombies: The Villain changes gears to shine a light on a character that identifies himself as The Villain – as played by celebrity skateboarder Richie Jackson.
Within a junkyard, the eccentrically dressed villain chases after a skater named Kris (Jacques Grimbeek). The swooping shots dynamically convey a sense of scale to this location, as the vehicular graveyard marks the death of the commonplace transportation within this world where the skateboard reigns supreme.
While Jackson’s role could have merely been a case of stunt casting in lesser hands, this short sees him provide an effective portrayal as the titular antagonist who fully believes in his anarchic actions.
