Extinction: Two Men And A Little Lady, And Zombies.

Yes theres a Zombie Outbreak or Zomboid rather as they are not dead. Starts out with all but 4 of a busload of evacuees being wiped out in an attack. Two men, a woman & a baby girl survive but the woman has been bitten.

Nine years later. The men (living next door to each other) are bitter enemies, the girl lives with one who prefers a cloistered existence, the other is more of a survivalist. Flashbacks reveal the roots of their mutual animosity and the fate of the woman.

The Zomboids have developed and are encroaching on the humans territory, this and their feelings for the girl force the men to cooperate. To scout out new territories.and to search for other survivors.

While it does owe debts to I Am Legend and The Walking Dead this film succeeds on its own terms. A convincing Post-Apocalypse SF/Horror Thriller. 7/10.
