Doomsday has come and gone, and has zombiefied a large part of the
world's population - something that left big scars on our hero (Jay
Saunders), who killed his child upon turning into a zombie. Since then he
and his wife (Devon Marie Saunders) have been on the run, with him
carrying an ax at all times to defend them - but eventually, his wife
first falls ill then turns before his very eyes. And even though he knows
it's the sensible thing to do he just can't bring himself to kill her, but
just keeps running on alone. He faces and masters many dangers, but much
more straining than all them put together are the nightmares both killing
his kid and abandoning his wife have given him, nightmares that seem to be
with him even during his waking hours - until his wife, now a zombie,
catches up with him ... Filmed entirely dialogue-free, this has
nevertheless turned out to be a very powerful film, as only on the surface
it tells a very simplistic zombie story, but really puts its emphasis much
less on zombie action or your usual scare tactics but on the emotional
tragedy that goes with the story, and in that respect, this webseries
seems almost archaic, which is also mirrored in many strong images of
beautiful yet merciless nature as well as many of the setpieces which are
as good as never spectacle and always reduced to the actual conflict, no
frills added. And in that respect, this is a very unusual zombie tale, but
an impressive, compelling one nevertheless.
