Three close-knit young brothers living in a cabin in the woods hide a dark, disturbing secret in their basement.
On his most affecting feature yet, the ever-passionate Ezban (EVIL EYE) tackles the zombie apocalypse with distinct visual flare and a rare, emotional intensity. It is a coming-of-age fable that is grim-as-nails, yet hauntingly poignant, doused with a macabre, desaturated elegance. Superbly realised and performed, with a bone-dry sense of humour, it’s a tense, gripping tale that plays with familiar tropes in a thrilling, often surprising way, pushing the embrace of family to the edge of humanity… oh, and terrific gore gags too!
