Storyline

Two former baseball players, Ben (Jeremy Gardner) and Mickey (Adam Cronheim), cut an aimless path across a desolate New England. They stick to the back roads and forests to steer clear of the shambling corpses that patrol the once bustling cities and towns. In order to survive, they must overcome the stark differences in each other's personalities. Ben embraces an increasingly feral, lawless, and nomadic lifestyle while Mickey is unable to accept the harsh realities of the new world and longs for the creature comforts he once took for granted. A bed, a girl, and a safe place to live. When the men intercept a radio transmission from a seemingly thriving, protected community, Mickey will stop at nothing to find it, even though it is made perfectly clear that he is not welcome.

Great film as much about people as Zombies
1 January 2014 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

A true Less is More film. The characters are both very well acted and how their relationship develops is a great insight into human nature. The film leaves you with wanting to know more about what happened to them before you are introduced to them and what happens after the ending. If you want something a little different, a film that warms your heart, intrigues you into wanting to know more about the characters while all the time the threat of having their face eaten off by zombies then this is the film for you. Amazingly the budget for the film was just $6,000 which gains an extra star from me. It Puts Movies like World war Z to shame, and shows all you need is a great script a vision and a couple of good actors.
