THE REVENANTS

Horror, 2 women 2 men, 80-90 min.

“A zombie play with brains.” ~ Jon Kitley, KitleysKrypt.com

SYNOPSIS

When a violent uprising of the undead forces two couples into hiding, infected spouses take a turn for the worse.  Gary and Karen have tethered their stricken halves, Molly and Joe, for the safety of all; but as they fall deeper into sickness, the question of whether or not any part of their former selves remains becomes harder and harder to answer as they become more and more dangerous.  As Gary and Karen come face to face with the true meaning of commitment, they must ask of each other: when does love die?
