Due to a zombie outbreak in Montreal, a state of emergency is
proclaimed and citizens are requested to remain indoors as a consequence
... which is all the more reason for Kathleen (Sandra Foisy) to try to get
to her boyfriend Ewin (Benoît Trudel), whom she's worried sick about. So
she accepts the risk to travel across the city just to be with him,
something that almost costs her her life - several times. But she has come
prepared and probably more importantly, armed with a baseball bat, so she
makes it through alright - but is that necessarily a good thing? Dead
Field is a very nice genre miniature that puts the emphasis on the
suspense or its story which is too often overlooked in genre productions in
favour of gory details - and it works, probably also because its rather
skeletal story is reduced to a mere 6 minutes, so the film, despite some
standard situations, manages to stay fresh throughout rather than becoming
repetitive halfway through (a typical problem of zombie movies to be quite
honest). And because of that and also its darkly humourous ending, it will
please not only genre audiences. Very nice indeed.
