Dead County

Loneliness can be a killer... It's been weeks since Wendell has talked to anybody, and even longer since he's seen anyone... anyone who doesn't want to eat him. Friendship is hard to come by in the best of times, but in the apocalypse, beggars can't be choosers. So when Wendell crosses paths with Alex, who is searching for a rumored "safe zone", the unlikely duo work together to keep their hope of survival alive - against both the living and the dead. Filmed on a micro-budget over a series of weekends outside a small town in America, visionary maverick director Christian Fescine's "Dead County" recounts the glory days of early Romero, Fulci, and Savini, and brings the zombie genre into a chilling - and darkly humorous - allegory on the 2020 Covid lockdown.
