Yesterday -- Six complete strangers are forced to band together and flee the city when a zombie outbreak occurs. But after making camp in the middle of the wilderness, the group realizes it's each other they should fear...

The people and the story are magnetic; the background is the city of dreams that almost came true. Atlantic City is revitalized as a resort when gambling is legalized. But the new industry also brings unsettling changes. For Lou (Burt Lancaster), 40 years and bodyguard-boyfriend to aging beauty queen Grace (Kate Reid), his numbers-running sideline escalates to mob involvement. A drug-related slaying leaves him with a small fortune, a new car and a new girl, Sally (Susan Sarandon), who is the perfect completion of his fantasy.

Set in the futuristic Inner City of a unified Korea circa 2020 A.D., a series of grisly murders propel an overworked police investigator and a celebrated forensics profiler into a nightmarish spiral of death and discovery. Can they unravel the mystery, which has haunted authorities for nearly 30 years?

Six complete strangers are forced to band together and flee the city when a zombie outbreak occurs. But after making camp in the middle of the wilderness, the group realizes it's each other they should fear...'A gritty zombie film with strong scripting chops, this is The Little Indie That Could; a doggedly determined beast that, in spite of being made on a production budget of an impossible $12,000, was nonetheless shot on 16mm film and features tons of crunchy, splatterific make-up effects, stunts, a car crash, the whole nine yards. And you can feel the fight in every frame; Instead, they take on the validating personality of battle scars, proof that the project defeated adversity to come tearing out of a very difficult place, not only surviving to tell the tale, but doing so with spirit and flair.' -Mitch Davis, Fantasia Fest
