Germ
The military's attempt to shoot down an orbiting satellite unleashes a space-borne epidemic on a remote, small town. Deputy Max Brody and his girlfriend Brooke must battle their way through an army of infected townsfolk and soldiers as they struggle to save themselves and their loved ones from a horrible, early death. When cannibalism is contagious, will even the strong survive?
Why it matters
A gritty, small-town infection thriller that taps into body horror and quarantine dread with a scrappy indie spirit.
- Practical gore effects deliver visceral, stomach-churning contagion visuals that echo ’80s splatter classics.
- Tight, claustrophobic setting amps up the tension and grounds the cosmic infection in relatable human terror.
- Fans of contagion and survival horror will appreciate the film’s unpolished charm and relentless pacing.
- Not for those who need polished acting or high production values, but a potent grab-bag of infection paranoia and DIY horror grit.
