Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for fans of a well-timed joke and anyone who enjoys a good scare. A good one for a late-night scare. Fans of Slither should feel right at home.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.

A fertilizer used in a rich gated community becomes the source of a genetic mutation that transforms its residents into zombies. Can a teenager and his baby sister break free from the quarantined island before turning into grass?
