Yes, I am including Breach (2020, also titled Anti-Life) in my zombie film reviews. WHY? Because, by today’s zombie film standards, this fits the model … well, not any worse than Billy Elliot.
Around the year 2242 A.D., Earth is facing an extinction level event. 300,000 survivors are selected to board a spaceship called the Ark (meanwhile 19 billion people are left behind for the big bye-bye). This ship will take them to a planet to be newly colonized, which will be called New Earth. Extinction level event, Ark, New Earth — yeah, I know, real inventive. Shortly into the multi-month trip, a saboteur releases something on board to kill off the crew and 300K passengers in hypersleep. This wormy slug thing kills people, infects them, and turns the dead in to reanimated (<– SEE, zombie film!) killer monsters.
I’ll stop there because I hate spoilers.
I picked up on Breach from folks talking about it online. Folks seemed to either love it or hate it. It’s sci-fi, Bruce Willis and Thomas Jane are the only recognizable stars — ehh — I had to watch it! So far as I could tell this was a moderately budgeted film (that flopped in the theaters, but it was released just as COVID-19 restrictions were being loosened) that takes you by surprise. It might not have been spectacular, but I thought it was pretty good. As zombie films go, understanding that it might be a zombie film … I’d give it a Yellow Puss rating.
