When They Run

About This Movie

When They Run has a gritty feel that sets it apart from the typical zombie fare. The pacing is relentless, with a tone that keeps you on edge. Standley's direction captures a real sense of desperation and survival. The practical effects used for the zombies are pretty impressive, adding a rawness to the horror that CGI often misses. The lead performance brings a tangible weight to the role, really immersing you in this bleak post-apocalyptic world. It doesn't follow the usual tropes, which makes it a refreshing watch for genre fans who might be tired of the formulaic approach found in many others.
