A zombie outbreak, caused by a flue vaccine, has struck the whole
country, but as of yet, Jesse (Jemma Dallender) knows little of it, being
on a camping trip to the mountains with her best friends no cellphone
signal - but eventually they're attacked by the infected, and before long
Jesse finds herself on the run as the only survivor. She stumbles upon
Emma (Alexis Boozer Sterling), a waitress who takes her to safety at the
diner she's working at, much to the dismay of the place's owner Roy (John
Manfredi), who enjoys his position of running the only safe haven in town
a bit too much. But power makes him careless, and he soon ends up as
zombie fodder. Jesse decides it's best to head to town to meet up with her
scientist mother (Erika Hoveland), as since she has worked on above
vaccine, she might know a cure, and she takes a bunch of people from the
diner with her, including youngsters Mark (Jack Welcher) and Grace (Karina
Martinez), whom she agrees to take to their survivalist uncle (John C.
Forman) - only not all that many of Jesse's companions make it through,
and said uncle proves to have a rather dangerous agenda of his own ...
Now I'd be hard-pressed to call Strain 100 the
re-invention of the wheel when it comes to zombie cinema, and also some of
the film's somewhat conservative (as in anti-science, pro-gun) attitudes
don't sit super-well with me. But what it has set out to do this movie
does very well, and that's to deliver 80+ minutes of zombie action cinema,
with a bit of gruesomeness, some pretty cool kills, exciting chases
aplenty and the right amount of both suspence and jump scares to keep one
at the edge of one's seat. And Jemma Dallender, despite only rudimentary
character development, carries the film rather beautifully, making this
one fun genre ride.
