I enjoyed this fresh take on the zombie genre. To me the best zombie movies are the ones that focus less on the undead and more on the people stuck in the apocalypse together. This is a slow burning, character driven story that absolutely keeps its focus in that realm. Ben is tough, but rough around the edges. Mackey is too soft for this new world and yearns for a community to be a part of. It's worth mentioning that this film was shot for $6k. That alone is enough to give this crew major props.

This movie can be slow at times. It features several montages and long one-takes of the characters daily lives.

Of you like a scare-heavy monster mash, skip this one. If you like a slow burning, character driven indie flick, give this a watch.
