A disastrous military experiment destroys half a million lives within seconds. Ava (Daisy Ridley) volunteers for a salvage team and, together with team partner Clay (Brenton Thwaites), combs house after house for bodies. Secretly, however, she hopes to find her husband. Shockingly, some of the dead manage to wake up. At first, the severely deformed, walking corpses are not very mobile, but their numbers and aggressiveness increase rapidly. And some of them seem to be pursuing a goal.
Director Zak Hilditch (THESE FINAL HOURS) delivers pure goosebumps with this unusual zombie variation and the fierce special effects at the highest level. The sound of the undead's furiously grinding teeth alone is enough to send shivers down your spine. He also manages to incorporate quiet moments and strong emotions into the disturbing story.
