Plot
Dr. Ben Jacobs saved the world. The drug he created allowed mankind to fight back against the Z-virus, which nearly destroyed civilization entirely. Now, in the aftermath of the crisis, he's trying to cure the last victims of the virus. But what will happen when he brings his mysterious work home?
Cast Our leads are John Lazar who I'd consider best known for Russ Meyer movies and legendary actress Adrienne Barbeau who you'd recognize from the likes of Escape from New York, Creepshow, The Fog and more.
Verdict
Okay fine zombie love stories aren't that rare, I can rattle a few off including Zombie Honeymoon and Anna and the Apocalypse but it's still an entertaining little sub-genre.
Here we have a scientist working on the zombie vaccine who has hidden his infected wife at home. She's not turned thanks to his injections but she's getting gradually worse and her very existence is a threat to civilization!
In very much a "What would you do?" scenario our leading man walks a fine line between loving husband and irrational selfish scientist in what I would argue could well have been a feature film.
Our cast do a great job but perhaps this should have been a feature film as its biggest weakness is that the story was simply too grand for its 21 minute run time.
Certainly worth a watch but it'll likely leave you wishing there had been more.
Rants
So what would you do? I'd like to think I'd do the right thing which is put the world over my wife and know that if she got out it could kickstart a zombie apocalypse! In reality, I fear I'd do exactly the same thing because love is a more powerful force than rational thinking.
The Good
The Bad.
