A prompt for a photorealistic live-action horror short film set in a luxury hotel during a zombie outbreak, focusing on realistic reactions and practical effects.
Prompt
Create a photorealistic live-action horror short film inside a busy luxury hotel during normal operating hours. Make it feel like a real emergency filmed with a handheld camera, with natural human reactions, believable physics, practical effects, realistic hotel details and strong spatial continuity.
MAIN CHARACTER: A female hotel security guard in her 30s wearing a realistic dark security uniform, ID badge and radio. Keep her face, hairstyle, clothing, body proportions and equipment consistent throughout the entire video. She reacts naturally and cautiously rather than behaving like an action hero.
The film begins in the hotel lobby with guests checking in, staff working at reception and luggage carts moving across the marble floor. Suddenly, an infected guest attacks another guest near reception. The victim falls against the desk while nearby people freeze in shock before panic spreads.
The female security guard hears the disturbance and rushes toward the lobby. She tries to understand what is happening while directing guests away from the infected. More infected suddenly appear and attack nearby guests. People scatter toward elevators, restaurants and corridors, dropping luggage and personal belongings.
The guard grabs a heavy luggage trolley as a defensive barrier. An infected charges toward her, and she pushes the trolley forward, knocking the attacker off balance with a heavy, realistic impact.
Another infected suddenly charges. She sidesteps at the last moment, causing it to crash into a glass partition that cracks realistically. She immediately guides several survivors toward a partially closed service corridor while distant screams echo from other floors.
The group reaches temporary safety and barricades the corridor door with luggage and a heavy cart. The guard stays near the entrance, watching the lobby while protecting the survivors.
The hotel suddenly becomes eerily quiet. Abandoned luggage, spilled drinks and overturned furniture cover the lobby. Through the narrow doorway, she notices a distant infected figure slowly crossing the lobby. She raises one finger, silently signaling everyone to stay quiet.
AUDIO: Fully diegetic hotel ambience, footsteps, luggage wheels, frightened voices, screams, radio static, zombie snarls, heavy breathing, glass cracking, realistic impacts and distant footsteps. No music.
STYLE: Photorealistic live-action hotel horror, practical-effects zombies, realistic skin and facial transformation, dark veins spreading beneath the skin, cloudy/milky eyes, violent convulsions and unnatural infected movements, natural handheld camera, realistic hotel lighting, believable crowd behavior, grounded physics and cinematic emergency-documentary feel.
NEGATIVE: Excessive gore, graphic dismemberment, graphic eye gore, anime, cartoon, fake CGI, exaggerated action choreography, superhero movements, distorted anatomy, duplicated
