An idea with possibilities.
I recently heard about this Japanese film called HELL BOY. It’s about this woman whose son dies, and she asks someone to bring him back to life. Unfortunately, she waits a bit too long, and he comes back all decomposed and zombielike. It’s a horror film, but I think it has more possibilities than that. I can see it being a weirdly poignant animae from the point of view of the boy, wistful, big-eyed and decomposing. He’s falling to pieces, but is that so wrong?!? He needs love too! Or, to exploit the comedy angle, it could be an exuberant musical comedy called THAT ROTTEN KID.
