Cameron McCulloch's short film Home is a striking tale of the everyday travails of an unnamed woman (Jamie McDowell) struggling to survive in the wake of a zombie outbreak and the consequences that her actions have on her soul.
You can watch the full short film here.
The entire story is told in stark imagery, without a single line of dialogue. It's a more effective adaptation of Richard Matheson's classic novel I Am Legend than the 2007 blockbuster with Will Smith, even though it's not really that at all. The story and tone of Home reminded me of the Matheson story for some reason [...]...

I'm absolutely amazed at the amount of horror out there. It seems as if indie features and shorts are everywhere, and so many of you guys are doing amazing work. At Dread Central we do our best to get the word out when we stumble upon an impressive piece that might otherwise fly under your radar. With that in mind, say hello to Home.
Written and directed by Cameron McCulloch, Home stars Jamie McDowell as a woman in an isolated homestead in the Australian bush surrounded by the undead. Shot over the course of two weekends (3-1/2 days), the film was made for about $2,000 but has the professional look of a much more expensive production.
Billed as a "RomZom" (that's romantic zombie film), Home is truly a brilliant piece of filmmaking. The fact that work of this quality was done on that budget and schedule is nothing short of amazing.

The first annual Bloodfest Fantastique genre film festival — which recently wrapped in Melbourne, Australia and was organized by the good folks of the Melbourne Underground Film Festival — has given out a slew of awards to films, filmmakers and actors. The big winner of the fest? The Sydney-based horror flick The Tunnel, directed by Carlo Ledesma.
The Tunnel took home three awards, including Best Film. Becoming a festival favorite is an especially interesting feat for a film that has eschewed the traditional distribution route and is already available for free online for anybody to view who wants to BitTorrent it through a deal with Paramount Pictures. The film also won Best Cinematography for the work of co-d.P.s Shing Fung Cheung and Steve Davis; while Davis also shared the Best Supporting Actor award with Michael Rooker, who appeared in Penance.
Amother big winner was Bloodfest’s Opening Night film Come and Get Me.

What if...Everything around you was gone? Everyone you knew was gone? Where would you go? Cameron McCulloch's new short film titled Home tells the story of a lone surviving woman, stuck in the middle of nowhere surrounded by the undead, trying to hold on to the last of her humanity. Do you have what it takes to survive, alone?...
Home is unlike any other horror short you've ever witnessed. The film is shot in High Definition (excuse the quality of the trailer below) and is completely void of any dialogue. It relies on the sense of helplessness and shear terror. Expect this Australian film to make it stateside at all the major film conventions this summer. We've seen the film in its entirety and lets just say, this will be making an impact. It's time to go Home.
Stay tuned for more details as we will be reporting...
