Since he has gone AWOL from the military, being not quite as courageous as he thought he'd be, Joe (Vladimir Zaric) has taken his brother Stu (Hans Potter), his girlfriend Sonya (Marisa Crockett), and his best friends Mikey (Chris Walters) and Kiley (Amy Muc) on a fourteen day camping trip out in the woods somewhere in the middle of nowhere, Canada, where there's no cellphone reception, no "designated camping areas", no nothing, just to properly hide out until the worst blows over. But when they stop for gas on their way back, they can't fail to notice that the gas station's abandoned but there are traces of blood everywhere, the 911 operator (Kianna Passmore) they call seems to be in some sort of panic, and there seems to be a feeling of unease ... and then Stu's bitten by a woman, and within minutes he dies - and comes back from the dead, hungry for human flesh. And when some more people not looking terribly alive come by as well, our heroes begin to realize they've got the zombie apocalypse on their hands that has apparently started when they were hiding out. Of course they're ill-equipped to fight it, and things don't get much better when a couple they rescue (Darren Andrichuk, Delia Tatiana) turn out to be a serial killer and his punching bag/bait. Ultimately, it's up to Joe to muster up all the courage he would have needed in the army to get them out of the situation - but courage alone isn't necessarily all that's needed ...

Now 3 Hours till Dead doesn't really break any new ground when it comes to zombie cinema (but that said, only very few zombie movies do), but it tells its story in an engaged way with plenty of action and tension to keep one on the edge of one's seat throughout, it remains pretty unpredictable as to who dies and when, and it does feature a bunch of interesting characters who are definitely more than just cannonfodder.

So while not actually breaking new ground, this is certainly an enjoyable genre movie worth watching not only for die-hard zombie fans!
