Shatter Dead
In a dystopian world where the dead no longer stay dead, a young woman struggles to return home to her boyfriend.
Why it matters
A grim, lo-fi undead odyssey that blends apocalyptic dread with punk DIY spirit, embodying ’90s indie horror’s raw edge.
- Early indie take on the zombie apocalypse before the genre’s mainstream explosion—gritty, low-budget, unpolished charm.
- Practical gore effects and makeup by Tom Savini protégé Gary Concannon bring visceral decay without Hollywood gloss.
- A feminist-tinged survival story anchored by a compelling female lead navigating a world where death is no escape.
- For fans of 1980s-90s underground horror and cult classics like "The Dead Next Door" or "Hardware."
