"The clue's there. Sometimes the thing you thought was the most brutal aspect of the virus, turns out to be the chink in its armor. And she loves disguising her weaknesses as strengths. She's a bitch." - Andrew Fassbach

Why watch this? These zombies swarm like huge locusts; it's really horrifying to watch.

Plot Summary: A rapidly spreading global pandemic turns the majority of the world's population into dangerous, fast-moving zombies. Recalled to duty, Gerry Lane, a former UN Investigator, must leave his family and embark on a perilous, globe-spanning mission to uncover the source of the outbreak and find a way to halt its devastating spread. His journey takes him to various locations and challenges him to confront the terrifying hordes and unravel the mystery before humanity is entirely consumed.

Dad's Preview: There are zombie movies, then there is this tour de force. Something (we never learn the cause) affects humans, and it spreads hyper-quickly. These "zombies" exist for one purpose: to find humans and turn them. They are fast, brutal and immediately lethal. Brad Pitt portrays a government "special agent" whose talent is finding out things; kind of a super spy-sleuth. There's nobody better equipped to figure out a solution amid the madness - I want to be reincarnated as Brad Pitt. You will love this spectacle.
