A small group of students are trapped in the vast maintenance tunnels below CERN’S Large Hadron Collider (the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator) after a disastrous malfunction has occurred. While making desperate attempts to escape the tunnels, the group encounter and is hunted by what’s left of a maintenance team. The workers have become ravenous zombies and will stop at nothing to get a taste of human flesh. Will the group survive or is all hope for them (and humanity) lost forever?

Released in 2012 by H2ZZ Productions, DECAY is unique because it’s a free zombie film shot, produced and released by a group of physics PhD students. The film was shot entirely on location at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland. CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research and is renowned for being the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, employing approximately 4,000 scientists at the time of filming.1 The film is set at CERN’S Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator.2
According to DecayFilm.com, the entire film project was completed with a regular cast and crew of only 20 people on a budget less than $3,000. The crew made their own camera shoulder props, created their own fake blood using syrup and scavenged many props from trash dumpsters. The film was show on borrowed digital SLR cameras and editing and post production were done on a home desktop computer using Adobe After Effect and Adobe Premier Pro.1
