Survivors

To be clear, zombie movies come in a number of styles. Fast zombies, slow zombies, rage virus zombies, WWZ action zombie movies, Shawn Of The Dead funny zombie movies, Warm Bodies romantic zombie movies, etc. The list is long.

This is a slow burn movie similar to The Battery or Maggie. It starts with a reporter who stumbles onto a story about a bioweapon virus killing people around the same time that the virus jumps to the general population. There are several subplots going on at the same time, before and after the virus hits.

The story itself is pretty straightforward, with suspense and mystery aided by the time jumps. This movie is more about the highs and lows that humanity is capable of when pushed by extreme circumstances than dealing with a zombie menace. If you need zombies chasing people down, it's not for you. If you like people trying to navigate a new world because of zombies, you might like it. If you appreciate slow building suspense movies with a great score, this is for you.
