Danger Word is a great zombie horror short that centers around a thirteen year old girl holed up in a cabin in the woods with her grandfather in the aftermath of an apocalyptic plague that's devastated the world. They "meet the challenge of their lives when her birthday trip to a trading post goes horribly awry."
The short features fantastic performances by Frankie Faison (The Silence of the Lambs, The Wire) and Saoirse Scott (One Life to Live). It was directed by Luchina Fisher (Death in the Family) from a script written by Steven Barnes and Tananarive Due. The short is based on their novel Devil's Wake.
I thought this was a fantastic and intense film, and I hope you like it!
