You don’t get much low-budget than this terrific zombie
film by Jeremy Gardner. Two former
baseball players traverse the New England backwoods surviving a zombie end
times. What I love about this film is
that the zombies are what they should be, kind of boring. The two guys wander around doing their best
to stay motivated. But things get tense
when they decide to make contact with other survivors instead of making it on
their own. What helps make this very
low-budget film shine is a fantastic sound track and a strong sense of
character over story. I highly recommend
this one especially if you’re a fan of The Walking Dead but want to see
something different from the sub-genre.
Grade: A-
BTW: Do watch the making of documentary that couples the
DVD. It’s really entertaining to see
these cinema nobodies stumble and yet succeed at making a movie. I’ll be curious to see if Jeremy Gardner does
more or if this will be his one moment of cinema gold.
