Year: 2013

Listed Genre: Action, Adventure, Horror

Listed Summary: Former United Nations employee Gerry Lane traverses the world in a race against time to stop a zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments and threatens to destroy humanity itself.

The UnReel Take:

Bottom Line: In a world full of zombie films, this one stands out. These are not your average Zombies. Not quite on par with those featured in 28 Days Later, but definitely worse than those in Dawn of the Dead. It is a worst case scenario, where Zombies can run, jump, and climb on top of each other like ants. This all contributes to a thrilling zombie movie watching experience. The movie doesn’t give you much time to catch your breath, so even though it is a nearly 2hr run time, you barely notice the time pass by.

UnReel AR: 7.5

UnReel Category: Zombie Survival - As mentioned above, there are so many Zombie movies now, and production isn’t likely to cease any time soon. So we created a category specifically for this horror adjacent genre.

Food Pairing: We think this one may be too fast paced to enjoy a full meal, so instead, we recommend a hearty bowl of buttered popcorn. Of course, don’t feel afraid to get a little creative by adding other ingredients, like cinnamon, sugar, and or cut-up churros.

Drink Pairing: There is a cocktail out there called Penicillin, and we think it is apropos to the theme of this movie. Give it a try! It contains blended scotch, lemon juice, honey, and ginger.
