Written and directed by Julian Grant, The Defiled (2010) tells the story of a world ravaged by a virus that turns people into mindless cannibals. The movie opens with a man (Brian Shaw) stumbling along through a wooded area looking for food. Standing at the edge of a lake he sees a deserted city….and we see his face. He looks like a zombie. We then see him with what appears to be his family—wife, daughter and son—living in an encampment in the woods.
After feeding his family with a questionable corpse (there were biohazard signs where the body was found), he wakes out of a drunken stupor to find them all dead, except the baby that his wife was carrying. The man, visibly distraught, leaves the area with the baby determined to survive. He later saves a woman (Kathleen Lawlor) from her cannibal captors and...

Full disclosure: a screener of this film was provided by Julian Grant.
Director/writer: Julian Grant.
The Defiled right away grabs you as being an homage to an earlier time in films, the silent 1920s and before. Julian Grant's latest production is completely in black and white, while the feature is entirely without dialogue. However, the body language speaks volumes as an infected man does his best to ensure a future generation of man-eaters, by protecting his cannibal baby. The result is a slow paced dramatic feature in an apocalyptic world, which deserves greater attention from horror fans.
Director Grant shows his versatility in filmmaking, by acting as the film's principal photographer. The environments shot are mostly dilapidated to show a world in decline and chaos, while the lighting emphasizes zombie facial expressions and infrequent explosions. As well, there are long shots to show a roving militia and close interior shots,...

Fans of cult horror will be immediately drawn to the retro stylings of The Defiled, a black & white art-film by Julian Grant. It's really got a fantastic look that sits somewhere between and Night of the Living Dead and silent cinema. Oh, and apparently the whole film contains just one line of dialogue. At 100 minutes that's a lot of silence, but I'm still intrigued.
