About the Film:
Viruses, which need a host because they cannot reproduce on their own, are the original zombie organisms. It takes just one rogue human-engineered virus strain to change our species into something unrecognizable as human.
Imagine, if you will, you and your new wife on a cross-country trip, when a tire blowout stops you in the middle of nowhere. Imagine further your wife doesn’t come back from a short walk through a nearby cornfield. What do you imagine could have taken her away? What is out there, and what can it be that pursues you so mindlessly?
Watch as David, the young husband, does everything he can to stay alive and stay away from the once-human creatures that hunger for David’s beating heart. He takes refuge with an isolated group of uninfected people, and there he gradually finds the inner strength to lead a young woman away from the madness that is The Killing Strain.
