Zombex
ZOMBEX tells the story of a post-Katrina New Orleans as it deals with a new disaster, a zombie apocalypse. NOLA residents are no longer experiencing the depression and post-traumatic stress due to the trauma of the hurricane, thanks to the revolutionary ZOMBEX - a rogue, yet, "clinically-proven" anti-depressant pharmaceutical manufactured by a nefarious organization. For those who call the Big Easy their home, everything is just now turning around for them. Or, could it just be the drug, ZOMBEX, talking... Just as things are turning around for the city and its people, they once again must face a disaster of epic proportions. Only this time, they're dealing with the prospect of losing the people of New Orleans as they turn into the city's walking dead.
A gritty post-Katrina zombie outbreak that blends social commentary with low-budget creature horror in the heart of New Orleans.
- Grounded in real trauma—uses the city’s hurricane aftermath as a haunting backdrop for its undead chaos.
- Practical gore effects carry the indie charm, delivering visceral zombie mayhem without Hollywood polish.
- For fans of socio-political horror that’s rough around the edges, think George A. Romero meets regional indie grit.
- Flawed pacing and uneven acting, but enough raw atmosphere and ambition to reward viewers craving localized apocalypse tales.
