Featured review
This is one of those very rare feature films whose runtime is too long for a short but pretty short for a feature, but given its very low budget origins and lo-fi set-up, its probably a sensible length overall. It's a post-apocalyptic zombie film in which two characters from opposing viewpoints in life are thrust together for survival; this leads to the usual friction you may expect. Given the low budget origins, the set-up is unsurprising pretty limited with that good old setting used in many a micro-budget feature, the underground bunker providing the backdrop. The cast is very small too, with only the two leads really having much to do. The restrictive nature of the production does result in a movie which does have a stagey, theatrical nature to it. Nevertheless, there is a bit of imagination here and the effects were quite good. This small-scale film was always going to be limited but it does show some ambition and is one which should offer something to those who appreciate this sub-genre overall.
