Finally got around to seeing Night of the Zoopocalypse. While the grating side characters are a drawback, it's still a well-crafted and fun body horror toon that thankfully isn't dumbed down for kids.

A ★★★ review of Night of the Zoopocalypse (2024)

As a family horror, Night of the Zoopocalypse is surprisingly solid. I greatly appreciate how it fully commits to the body horror genre with

Xylaria polymorpha Dead man’s fingers

With a little imagination, these club fungi may look like the fingers of some abominable hand just about to resurface itself to prey on the living.

Luckily, they have a seemingly reliable preference to tree stumps over brains.

Investigate their tough flesh a little, and it might be a surprise to find them clean and snowy white inside.

While other black fungi such as devil’s urn or black trumpets mostly elude me, I find dead man’s fingers everywhere.  They stick out at you even through the camouflage of dirt and detritus.

I’m so intrigued by how often I find them when I’m not looking for them compared to how I can’t find black trumpets for the life of me, I wonder if there’s less imagination to their common name than I think.

Maybe there’s a little part of my brain, as in any prey’s visual acuity, that really does consider danger, even if only for a fraction of a second, in their reaching, grasping, come up and grab you sort of growth.
