Exit Humanity


Zombies are everywhere.  They proliferate in movies, TV series, books, comic books and other pop culture merchandize.

In the last few years Zombiemania has swept the world and fans can't seem to get enough of the undead, eat-you-brains, rip-you-to-pieces animated corpses.  You would think Zombies are a current phenomenon but they're not. They've been around for decades-centuries-at least according to the new Exit Humanity DVD recently released by Vivendi Entertainment.

In Exit Humanity a young soldier (Edward Young) has just returned from fighting in the Civil War.  All he wants to do is find his family and take up where his life was before it was interrupted by the war.

Unfortunately a zombie plague has swept the country and he is forced to kill his wife who has turned and his son disappears.  The movie centers on his search for his missing child.  Along the way he meets various characters and the movie swifts its focus more toward the excellent character interplay and less on the zombies.

Interestingly enough some of the true monsters in the film are not the zombies but some of the people Edward encounters during his search.

DVD extras include commentaries and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film.  Be warned-this is not a film for young children but horror film fans will love it.
