Virus
of the Dead portrays the effects of the zombie
apocalypse across the globe following the
release of an engineered virus by terrorist
Abela, played by Kathryn Eastwood, and told
entirely through a chain of connecting
internet-vlogs, newsclips, web-chats and
smartphone found-footage. Nathan Head plays
Andy, a guy who is on his way to meet his
girlfriend Nicky with the hope of proposing to
her when he is suddenly chased through the trees
by a group of flesh-hungry zombies. Realising
his end is near after losing his footing and
impaling himself on a tree branch, Andy attempts
to record a dieing message to Nicki before the
battery on his camera dies for good. The film
was picked up by Wild Eye Releasing with
a Worldwide digital streaming release on Vimeo On Demand and Amazon Prime from November 14th 2018 and was
distributed on DVD
in North America on April 9th 2019
with Ammo Content with a later DVD reissue via
MVD on December 17th 2019. In 2022 Wild Eye
Releasing released an unofficial sequel called
Plague Of The Dead.
