During a zombie apocalypse, Las Vegas residents Molly and Nick are on their way to meet up with some friends at a remote airfield in order to catch a plane ride out of the country.

Critical reception



'Variety' praised Allens performance and the resourcefulness of director Minihan, while declaring that it's "never really scary or funny enough to leave a memorable impression".

A review in 'LA Weekly' indicated that "what could have been a wordless slog is inventive and even buoyant".

'The Hollywood Reporter' wrote: "Genre fans will likely have a hard time coming to terms with this tonally confused and sometimes grating film, whose commercial prospects are limited despite the appeals it makes to some underserved audiences".
