Episode 170: It Stains the Sands Red
Manage episode 445313479 series 3426320
It is zombified tortoise meets trailer trash hare in this 2016 indie zombie horror. As the zombie apocalypse rages in the background trailer trash lovers Nick and Molly head out of Las Vegas to catch a plane with Nick's associates. The plan is to fly to Mexico. Do they get there? Do they f*ck! After their Porsche gets stuck on a desert freeway Nick is killed my a shuffler and Molly has to head out on foot across the sands.
This movie is great. Brittany Allen from The Boys, Jigsaw and 13 Eerie (we reviewed in ep 59) stars as Molly, who has to survive with no training or supplies, or even basic survival skills as she is pursued by the zombie killer of Nick, who she dubs Smalls.
But over time her talking to Small, akin to Tom Hank chatting with Wilson!!!!! We learn more about her, about her addiction and losing her son to social services, her bad life choices. This is a zombie therapy session. And we care about Smalls too, in a Bub kinda way.
I always list this movie along with Yummy and Blood Quantum as one of the three zombie movies that people maybe haven't seen and need to.
Check it out.
