Last Summer: Zombie Town

About This Movie

Last Summer: Zombie Town is one of those low-budget horrors that feels like a nostalgic trip back to the early days of the genre. The atmosphere in Nagievsk is thick with dread, the kind that creeps up on you slowly. The pacing does drag a bit, but it has this raw charm that keeps you engaged. The practical effects are pretty noteworthy, especially for a film of its budget; they manage to create a grittiness that adds to the overall tension. The performances by the local cast give a sense of authenticity to the madness unfolding around them. It’s distinctly regional, with a unique twist on the zombie trope that doesn't take itself too seriously, which makes it interesting for collectors looking for something off the beaten path.
