With the aid of a local Marine squad, they must race against time to find a way to stop the apocalypse before it's too late, all while being pursued by a ruthless vigilante who has been hired by the Deputy Director of the Ames Research Facility, who has his own agenda.
All Accolades & Coverage
Most recently it won The Underground Indie Film Festival for best feature screenplay, and here’s what they had to say: “The title alone is perfect but then the idea of the alien organism mutating every animal in the area just makes it terrifying. It's a brilliant setup and you did a great job with your characters. Their interactions are believable and charming. Excellent writing.”
