After a plague of the undead decimates human life on Earth, a former hit man (Mark Dacascos), his wife, and daughter live quietly in a survivalist compound. But when their base is attacked, a massive explosion summons a swarm of the undead. They escape and must seek out the Haven, a rumored sanctuary up north, while the father teaches his daughter to shoot, drive, and survive before time runs out.
It is very Walking Dead. To be clear, that's not a compliment. I gave it a shot for Mark Dacascos, assuming it'd be some sort of Transporter ripoff, based on the poster. Turns out I was way off the mark. It's a very slow father/daughter road trip movie with zombies. The "daughter" aspect of that logline is sort of a problem. Turns out it's Dacascos' actual daughter and she is... Not a very good actor. I mean she's young, it's totally understandable. But it still has a negative impact on this already very odd story.
Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product.
