Dr. Leigh Rozetta is a young, maverick scientist, who’s been living in a secret underground Government facility since the outbreak began two years earlier. After constant failed attempts to find a cure, Leigh sneaks away to return to her parent’s house. On her way she crosses paths with Seph and Mckay, two militant survivalists. With nightfall close at hand, the three of them know they need to seek shelter, as the Sick are more active in the dark. Boarding themselves up in Leigh’s parents house, the plan is simple: survive the night. But with the Sick surrounding the house and their own tensions through the roof, they’ll be lucky if anyone makes it out alive.

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by Midnight Releasing. Director: Ryan M. Andrews. Writers: Ryan M. Andrews and Chris Cull Cast: Christina Aceto, Richard Roy Sutton, Robert Nolan and Jennifer Polansky. Sometimes, titles are self-fulfilling prophecies. Canadian director Ryan M. Andrews' (Black Eve) foray into the zombie apocalypse film genre is the soon to be released Sick. This title, completed in 2012, involves a viral pandemic, which leaves few survivors standing. Lacking in good acting and conflict, Sick manages to get some of the dramatic bits right. But, this film offers so many awkward scenes, that it becomes difficult to watch. As well, the film's characters are more vile than the flesheaters, themselves. Character turns against character in this disappointing sci-fi adventure. Not plot driven, Sick is an unenjoyable time spent with a group of survivors, who might be better off dead. The film begins with a split narrative.

the zombie sub-genre.
Having already tackled multiple sub-genres of horror,, surprisingly, Andrews was not expecting to do a zombie horror film any time soon. He explains, “I love zombie films, but I wanted to refrain from doing one, because it tends to be almost too common for low budget horror. Many times it is done wrong. The best zombie films always offer something new. Just look at “28 Days Later” or “Shaun Of The Dead” for example. They were huge, because they were different. At the time when...
