Disaster L.A.: The Last Zombie Apocalypse Begins Here

2014 ·1h 22m · ★ 5.4 (142)

After a meteor shower strikes Los Angeles, toxic smoke is released across the city causing people to physically change and become violent. A small group of survivors plans to vacate the city by heading to the coast.

Why it matters

A gritty micro-budget zombie survival that wears its DIY spirit like a badge of honor, capturing the claustrophobic dread of a city undone by toxic fallout.

  • One-man-show auteur Turner Clay crafts a full-spectrum effort—directing, effects, score—that’s rough but resourceful.
  • Lean, familiar plot leans into survivalist tension over gore, with characters whose flawed choices keep the stakes real.
  • For fans of low-budget apocalypse tales who appreciate ambition over polish and a grounded L.A. setting.
  • Not for those seeking slick effects or original twists, but a decent pulse-raiser in the vein of SyFy channel fare.
