"I won't put my life at risk for anyone else. Even you." Uncork'd Ent. has revealed an official trailer for an indie action thriller titled After the Pandemic, which is clearly capitalizing on the pandemic to sell itself as another post-apocalyptic survival film. The film is set in a near-future scenario in which the death rate for a new virus isn't 1%, but somewhere around 98%. Most of Earth's population has been wiped out. Only the immune have endured as scavengers. Ellie leaves her neighborhood and stumbles across a new city where she meets Quinn, someone who has taken a different approach to the new world. The film stars Eve James, Kannon Smith, Juniper Preacher, Derek Sneddon, Alec McCormick, Gu Sewen, Virginia Fivas, and Leslie Ldmaw.

Stars: Eve James, Kannon Smith, Lelyn Mac | Written and Directed by Richard Lowry

Until the Scott Adkins actioner Seized I had never heard of writer/director Richard Lowry – who penned the 2020 related film – but I enjoyed that film so much that when I saw he’d not only written After the Pandemic but also directed, I had to check it out… Yeah, judging by this film however, it turns out Seized’s success may have been more down to veteran director Isaac Fiorentine rather than Lowry’s script.

The well-timed After the Pandemic follows Ellie (Eve James) a survivor of a global pandemic who spends her days roaming the empty streets, exploring houses foraging for food and keeping one step ahead of infected and the strange cadre of hazmat-suit wearing stalkers that are searching for survivors. During one confrontation with the stalkers, Ellie is saved by Quinn (Kannon Smith) and the two soon bond,...
