Locked Away

About This Movie

Locked Away is this intriguing indie horror flick that dives into the chaos of Michael Turner's return from Iraq. It’s not just about the undead - though the creature effects have some solid practical work that gives a gritty feel. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it kind of adds to the tension, right? You really get a sense of dread as the town unravels. The family dynamics are also interesting, especially how Michael’s struggle to reconnect clashes with the horror surrounding him. It’s not your average zombie film; there’s this underlying commentary on trauma and the scars of war. Performance-wise, you see a raw intensity that sells the desperation well.
