The breakdown:  A bit of revisionist history here as the zombie outbreak occurs during the American Civil War.

My husband had heard a lot about this film and wanted to see it.  I had nothing better to do so I sat through it with him.  Turned out to be a pretty good little movie.
During the American Civil War, a soldier finds out that the dead are rising on the battlefields.  Pretty soon, the population is overcome and he runs home to his family.  His wife turns and his boy runs away.  While he's  searching for his son, he sees how bad it has become out in the world.  He makes some friends, fights some human bad guys, and kills a lot of dead bad guys.

I don't want to ruin it for you since a lot of what happens to the main character should stay a surprise to fully appreciate the film.  I can tell you, it's original, well done, and well acted.

If you like dramas, or zombie pics - watch this one!

4 out of 5 for being a small budget film that punches like a big budget film with an entertaining story.  GO SEE IT!
