When Jamie Miller and her wife, Alex Kanai, try to save their failing marriage by going on a canoe trip in rural Missouri, they find themselves stranded after an accident. Alex breaks her leg during a canoe flip and they must slowly make their way to the nearest small town for help. Upon arriving they find it has been overrun by virus-infected "Heps" and extreme right wing local militias who are battling them. The leader of one of the groups, "Big John Gruber", shuttles them to safety at his bunker where they are welcomed by a seemingly friendly group of locals, but after witnessing personal and gruesome horrors, the women know they must escape. Jamie and Alex now find themselves on the run, caught between the group that saved them, a competing militia, and the growing infected Hep threat.

If Herd was really about a horde of zombies, it would be going under a different title altogether. The outbreak is just an excuse to explore what happens when human beings are suddenly thrown into a pressure cooker. Go to Full Review

3/5
Herd subverts standard zombie tropes while grounding the narrative in a touching queer romance. That it all mostly works is thanks to two solid turns from Ellen Adair and Mitzi Akaha. Go to Full Review
