Pathogen

2006 · 66 min

A scrappy, earnest zombie adventure that feels like a kids' backyard epic, with homemade charm and sudden bursts of peril.

Tagline: Do you know what happens when you drink the water?
Overview: A mysterious technology has transformed the residents of Austin, TX into flesh-craving zombies. Armed with a knife, an axe, and many pairs of flip-flops, middleschooler Dannie and her pee-wee zombie squad take to the streets to battle undead parents, teens, and even a toddler.
How it feels: Eerie, tense, campy and dark. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, friendship, betrayal, isolation
Content: Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
