Hailey (Natalie Martins) and Liam (Ade Dimberline) only had Hailey's
sister Sienna's (Makenna Guyler) best in mind when they took her, a
recovering drug addict, to the woods for some camping and detoxing - but
then they witness first hand the nearest down being attacked and pretty
much anihilated by an alien spaceship. What's worse, the attack seems to
have turned everyone in its wake into zombie-like creatures, and these
creatures before long manage to catch up with Hailey, Liam and Sienna ...
and before long send them running. And while on flight, they cross paths
with Josh (Jordan Mcfarlane), who seems like a shady enough guy to not
trust him, but he tells them he has a safe haven nearby and invites them
to join him - and they really have no other option than to follow. Now the
place he leads them to, part of an abandoned army base, is actually safe
enough from the creatures and easy to defend - but Josh is actually a
drugrunner using the place as his temporary storage, and he has no qualms
about letting Sienna have some of his stash in return for some favours.
What's worse though is that Liam has earlier been scratched by one of the
creatures, and is now slowly turning into one of them, and while he does
his best to keep himself in check, he does have more and more outbursts of
violence. So the safe haven might also be our heroes' death trap ... A
cool piece of genre cinema that really gets the most out of its rather
standard basic storyline, and wisely concentrates on human conflicts
rather than investing too much time in zombie action - and fortunately the
film's carried by a very capable small ensemble. Now add to that some
impressive locations that are made good use of, and a directorial effort
that invariably favours atmosphere over jump scares, and you've got
yourself some very nice sci-fi/horror.
