Bloodier than the Walking Dead? Check out the trailer for the disturbing zombie movie HERD

After the end of The Walking Dead series, the world is looking for a new standard in zombies! If The Last of Us impressed recently, the ghosts of the series are more infected than the living dead in good and proper form.

What if Herd changed the game? Between The Walking Dead , The Last of Us , 28 Days Later and The Hill Has Eyes , this feature film from director Stephen Pearce has released some pretty promising first images.

This is the director’s first film. Prior to that, he worked as an editor for the popular television program Saturday Night Live for several years. Starring Ellen Adair, known for her recurring roles on hit shows like Homeland, Billions and The Sinner.

We also find Mitzi Akaha (Bar Fight!), Corbin Bernsen (Psych), Timothy W. Murphy (Snowpiercer), Jeremy Holm (House Of Cards) and Amanda Fuller from Orange Is The New Black.

The story follows James (Ellen Adair) and his partner, Alex (Mitzi Akaha), who go on vacation to save their marriage. After an argument, Alex broke his leg. Shocked, Jamie tries to find help.

A nationwide spread that the two women didn’t take too seriously until they left finally turns out to be real. It doesn’t take long for the duo to find themselves in the middle of a rapidly spreading zombie apocalypse.

Will the film, which doesn’t yet have a US release date, make its way to France? Fans of the genre will have to wait, as no news has been released yet.
