Great Film overall

Good idea lost in the noise

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I didn't know what to expect at all, except something fabulous, given Tananarive Due's stories and novels. I rarely read anything in the horror genre, and I absolutely never watch horror movies, ever! I got so scared at one point in this short film I had to hit pause and summon the courage to continue. I am amazed by the suspense and the investment I felt in the characters so quickly. Faison and Scott are both perfect. There is a finesse here that I love, a way of giving the viewer the feeling of having caught something out of the corner of her eye, but not being sure of what she saw. And then these perfectly timed horrifying images that the camera stays with exactly long enough--not a gaze so fixed on the visual details of horror that it prevents one from connecting the image to the psychological trauma in the characters' world. Brilliant. I want more!

This movie is well worth a look for a few reasons.As a short movie in the horror genre, it builds tension, suspense, plot and character in 20 minutes.It was made via social crowd funding.It featured heartbreaking performances by veteran character actor Frankie Faison and young Saoirse Scott as grand-father and grand daughter fighting for survival.It adds new twists to a crowded sub-genre of horror: zombies.It was written by Steven Barnes ( a sci-fi novelist and screenwriter ) and Tananarive Due (also a novelist) based upon a book they co-wrote.Check it out!
