Garth Ennis' Crossed teaser promises a nastier kind of zombie
The first teaser has arrived for Crossed, a horror film written by Garth Ennis and directed by Rob Jabbaz. Its infected characters act on their most sadistic impulses, a premise similar to Jabbaz's The Sadness but with a distinctive facial rash. A release date has not been announced.
Crossed is a horror feature penned by Garth Ennis, the mind behind The Boys, and helmed by Rob Jabbaz, whose prior film The Sadness explored similar violent infection. The newly released teaser, shared by Bloody Disgusting, shows infected people driven to cruel, sadistic behavior, marked by a facial rash that sets them apart from other zombie variants.
Ennis wrote the initial Crossed comics in 2008; later contributors included Alan Moore. He returned to write the screenplay. No release date or platform has been announced, though the current horror market may offer streaming options.
The teaser may intensify interest among horror fans and streaming audiences who seek extreme gore, while potentially drawing criticism from viewers concerned about graphic violence. Its association with Ennis and Jabbaz could raise its profile, but without a release date its broader cultural reach remains uncertain. If released widely, it may influence conversations about on-screen brutality and the boundaries of the zombie subgenre.
