The Dead Outside
2008, 86 minutes
An unusual zombie film in that it delivers its jolts through suspense and style rather than blood and gore
In a stark and terrifying future, a pandemic has transformed the general populace into murderous maniacs. Two of the uninfected, Daniel and April, meet on a remote Scottish farm. Family man Daniel (Alton Milne) leaves virus contaminated Borders, Scotland for greener pastures and instead encounters gun happy April (Sandra Louise Douglas) in the Highlands. Partnering up to fight several infected this companionship almost breaks apart with the arrival of survivor and master manipulator Kate (Sharon Osdin) challenging the relationship. The situation comes to a climax when Kate hopes to find a cure, to the virus, by using April’s immunity and virus free blood for a vaccine.
