review by
Mike Haberfelner

Some otherworldly invaders have taken over our dead to eventually wipe out mankind. Sure, the dead are slow, and even though they're thought-controlled, they're rather dim-witted ... but they also always show up in force, know no pain, and are absolutely ruthless and cannibalistic on top of that - so they're the best of footsoldiers for whoever these otherworldly invaders actually are.

Lance (Carey MacLaren) has lost everything to the invaders and their zombies, and for some undisclosed reason they have lured him into a forest, where he mows down zombies with his samurai sword, though always trailing their leader (Cory Knisely). His adversaries make up one gruesome scenery after the next to break him, but he moves on undeterred, more and more emotionally detaching himself from humankind in the process. Then he saves Rachel (Laurel Kemper) from the zombies' claws, and she, emotionally more than just scarred as well by the zombie outbreak, insists on staying with him. The first night, Lance wants to shoot Rachel in the head to spare her what's in store for them, but he simply can't just murder her, that much humanity is left within him ... so they go on together, heading for what might be the root of all evil, and more than once, their minds are taken over by the leader and his minions, but they prove to be strong, and create carnage after carnage among the zombie hordes. But when Lance himself is infected by whatever it is and is bound to attack Rachel as soon as he has turned, that might be a game changer ...

 

Even if equipped with a richer backstory than most, The Sky Has Fallen is technically a zombie film, and sure enough, it has got the gore (and lots of it) in all the right places, and all the suspense and sudden shocks that the genre demands of course ... and yet, it feels more than just that, mainly by giving its two main characters unusual depth, by providing the main narrative with an even more horrifying backstory, and by making the scenes between spectacles as tense as possible. Of course, that the two leads are great in their roles also helps, as does a great use of the of the film's (scarce) locations.

Totally worth a look!
