When attempting anything "Zombie", it's hard to steer clear of the usual tropes and re-occurring themes, which is why it's become a fairly tiresome genre. BUT, every once in a while, just when you thought you'd had enough, ya get sucked back in.
The format is that of a web series with each episode furthering a narrative surrounding a small group of characters as they make their way through the beginnings of the Zombie Apocalypse.
The series is aesthetically campy and fun to watch. It knows not to take itself too seriously, but it's not an exercise in comical escapades either. While much of the Zombie content found youtube can seem a bit lumbering and tedious to watch, this was one web series I found myself enjoying all the way to the end. It's a rare thing... considering I usually find myself not finishing even single episodes of other shorter web series out there.
It might be because the writing was actually good. Whereas other Zombie shorts and web series may use action, the same tried and done zombie-vfx and other shenanigans as a foundation to capture the attention of the viewer, this was surprisingly more dependent on plot, dialog and good pacing to reveal an actual story— go figure.
A low budget series can only render up to a certain level of production value, so don't look here to find the next world war Z, I am legend etc... Instead come for a fun, well written, solidly acted zombie story that actually deserves your time and rewards you with something that's genuinely fun to watch.
