Dead Air
Logan Burnhardt is the ego-king of the airwaves, but his unflappable persona is put to the test when a terrorist bio-attack unleashes a plague of flesh-ripping maniacs on Los Angeles.
Why it matters
Dead Air delivers a claustrophobic radio thriller that channels early-2000s bioterror fears through a zombie apocalypse lens.
- A rare horror set mostly within a radio station, turning sound design into a nerve-shredding weapon.
- Logan Burnhardt’s ego-driven host clashes with chaos, adding tense character drama amid the outbreak.
- Practical gore effects lean into the body horror of infection and transformation — think early Romero meets low-fi contagion panic.
- For fans of contained outbreak horrors and media-saturated anxiety, Dead Air captures that post-9/11 dread with a pulpy, grindhouse edge.
