Plot summary



Scott Miller (Shameer Seepersand) is one of the lone survivors of an apocalyptic world where the undead have overtaken the earth. He had previously sequestered himself away with his girlfriend Beth (Jessica Messenger), however she left him one night in order to see if her family was still alive. Scott's only other human interaction has come via radio communications with a couple hidden away elsewhere, but they're eventually overtaken by zombies, leaving him truly alone.

Reception



HorrorNews.net initially disliked the film upon their first viewing, but upon seeing it a second time they felt that it was "definitely not an exciting, action-packed, zombie flick. It is a slow burn of a film that explores the end-of-the-world questions". Ain't It Cool News gave the film a positive review and also commented upon the film's nature, writing "If youre looking for an action packed zombie romp, this aint it. But 'WASTELAND' has a lot of soul and is quite gripping in the tragic and lonely tale it tells." Horror Society rated it 3/5 stars and wrote, "Overall, 'Wasteland' is a solid film that is far from original and not as bloody as one would expect from a zombie flick."
