Shawn Darling literally did everything on this film, director, music etc. You name it he had a hand in it.
I really enjoyed this effort and it delivered, for me, all that I was expecting, and more.
A group of people have to fight off the undead. That's about it really.
Lets start with some of the characters. Seth Darling (obviously related to the director) plays Alex a young boy that is abused by his step father and finds himself with, his abuser, in the group of survivors. A good performance from him. Then there's Monika (Wendy Andrews) the gutsy female survivor who is a love interest to Mike. She's so tough that she hardly bat's an eyelid when her son turns into a zombie and has his head blown off a few feet away from her!!! James Blackburn plays Mike Shaw, your friendly mechanic and ,leader of the group of survivors. He was a believable hero.
Yes it is low budget, but I found a lot to like in this film. The effects were excellent and were a few notches above the budget limitations. The zombies were also very effective and were of the dawn of the dead variety.
Speaking of Dawn of the dead, this is an obvious homage as there are some very similar characters and situations. The survivors hold up in a hardware shop and arm themselves with weapons. There is a black hero who looked very much like Ken Foree.
I got involved in the characters and the step father of Alex was without any moral fiber. He beat Alex, beat his wife and then turns out to be a racist. You really wanted bad things to happen to him.
All in all a good effort that had a good story and some comedic touches and delivers on the gory goods.
Beware !!!! do not watch the trailer 1st as this includes all of the best bits and gives away most of the plot.
