During a massive pandemic with pretty much everything locked down, it's
curtains for Clay (Osawa Muskwa) and Julian's (Dean Persons) camp ground,
and maybe they should consider themselves lucky they have found a buyer.
But when that buyer's lawyer, Vanessa (Anne-Carolyne Binette), arrives to
check up on things, she's first met with open dismay from Julian - but it
doesn't take long for him to warm up to her as she proves to be a very
likeable person who cares about keeping the camp ground the way it is.
Things change though when the actual buyer, Aaron (Michael Czemerys),
arrives with his entourage of urbanites who can't really appreciate the
simplicity of camp ground life - and what's a bit of a blow for Julian is
that Vanessa proves to be Aaron's girlfriend. Furthermore, it's found out
that Aaron has no intention to keep the camp ground intact but wants to
turn it into a graphite mine - so it's not long before there are open
hostilities between the two parties. And then it turns out the pandemic
actually turns people into zombies - and of course it doesn't take long
for these zombies to attack the camp, and our heroes from opposing sides
have to come together to defend themselves ... Now admittedly,
this movie takes its dear time to build up its story, so those just here
for the zombie action might be a bit disappointed until the film reaches
its third act, but that said, the set-up story has much to offer and lends
a bit of depth to the proceedings to follow, and gives the audience more
reason to care about the characters, really. And a wonderful and rather
unusual scenery sure lends the film a special quality, while a solid
ensemble keeps things suitably rooted, to make this very ok genre
entertainment.
