Featured review
What kind of film would you get if David Lynch made Night of the Living Dead? We may never know, but "Friend of The World" comes the closest. Shot entirely in black and white, this isn't your typical post apocalyptic zombie thriller. Its strange stylish 1960's vibe, along with edgy performances, twists, turns, and effective special effects propel this film beyond the same old same old of the end of the world zombie genre. "A Friend of the World" will make you think and question reality, as it takes you on a wild and trippy ride. Just go with it and enjoy the journey. It's definitely worth your time and not to be missed.
