Among the Living
Stranded in the aftermath of a deadly outbreak, a brother fights to protect his sister while he desperately searches to find refuge and avoid an infected population with a thirst for blood.
Why it matters

- Raw, grounded tension over flashy jump scares keeps the dread simmering, echoing indie survival horror roots.
- Practical makeup effects deliver gruesome infected designs that feel tactile, not just digital gloss.
- A sibling bond at the center grounds the chaos in human stakes, avoiding pure monster-movie abstraction.
- Fans of post-apocalyptic horror with a lean, character-driven focus will find something unsettlingly familiar yet fresh here.
