- Synopsis:
Humanity is teetering on the edge of extinction, decades after a bio-terrorist attack unleashed a virus upon the world...a virus that transformed the vast majority of the population into vicious, ravenous creatures now called, simply, the "infected". What the bombs didn't destroy, the infected overran; what the infected didn't claim, the living pillaged for supplies. The infected are slowly dying off, starving to death from lack of food. What remains are ruins of cities, monuments to decay and despair, overgrown with trees and weeds. In the midst of a seemingly endless winter, nomadic companions Josh and Penelope, the last survivors of a larger group, share the hope of rescuing others like them and hopefully rebuilding civilization. They must face new and terrifying challenges if they are to survive. - Actors:

The rest are dead. - The Living Dead review by NP
This is a very slow-moving, character-based post-apocalypse horror. The pacing isn’t as big a problem for me as the sound levels. The dialogue in the first half of this film is frequently inaudible buried, as it is, under the atmospheric mood music – the second half is fine and infinitely more enjoyable.
The direction, locations and acting from the small cast is impossible to fault. When incidents do occur, they are well staged and brutal – they are just very few and far between.
‘The Living Dead’ won’t be for everyone – even less will stick with it due to the early sound issues, and that’s a real shame. My score is 7 out of 10.
