THIS is why I wade through the crap. On the surface, this is a low budget zombie film, looking deeper you will find it to be unique and original premise rife with social commentary without preachiness. Spearheaded by great performances and confident direction, I could compliment the cinematography, the pacing, the acting, the writing, the direction, but I will simply say: there is not a feature I found lacking. Considering 95% of this film takes place within a claustrophobic radio booth, the ease by which they convey apocalyptic events unfolding intertwined with intimate and emotional beats is a testament to the film's solid writing and directing. While short on action, gore, and 'scares' it manages to provide samples of each while leaving the majority of the horror elements to unfold within your mind. Taut, intelligent, darkly humorous and equally disturbing, this is a thinking and psychological horror film that leaves you pondering the implications.
