The director Jim Mickle also directed Mulberry Street and I heard that this is a follow to the cult hit. The cast includes Connor Paolo (He's Eric from Gossip Girl), Nick Damici (Who helped write this film), Danielle Harris (She played Jamie Lloyd in Halloween 4&5 ALSO she still look great) and some other recognizable people.
Anyway!! This awesome film is about a teenage boy named Martin and just before the country collapses in an empty pit of political and economic disaster, a vampire epidemic sweeps across whatever is left of the country. The nation is now filled with abandoned towns and cities. Now, it's up to a sly, unnamed vampire hunter to get Martin safely up north to Canada, the continent's "New Eden". I was so impressed with this film.
This film is similar to Zombieland but more serious & kinda similar to The Road but less depression & more horror. I recommend this to EVERYONE, even if you don't like horror. It's an never ending adventure. It has a great cast and awesome music, which surprised everyone being that it's a low budget film. The ONLY thing about this movie that I don't care for is the ending. :| It is semi-disappointing to me, but may not be for you!
I enjoyed it and also how the brotherhood used the vampires for their beliefs on why this vampirism disease came about.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see this! A cross between Zombieland & The Road sounds pretty promising to me!!
ReplyDeleteGawd, I wanna see this! Is it on Netflix???

I think Danielle and I are the same age. I've always liked her. I remember seeing her in the Halloween films of the 80s.
ReplyDelete@Kyle, of course I'll check out your review.
ReplyDelete@Chris I hope you, very enjoyable.
@MsMariah I always liked her too.
I've heard a lot about this movie and keep forgetting all about it. But you sold me! I'm going to Netflix right now before I get distracted by a squirrel or something.
ReplyDelete@Sean I'm glad I did! Lol. I get distracted by squirrels too. :P
