Primal Films Next Project : Siege of the Zombies

Synopsis:

Falling from their everyday lives into a Post Apocalyptic nightmare, Mason, Keith, Emily and Colleen find each other and pool their resources in order to survive. With no radio or television until they find a military radio that still works, they rely on the people they meet to discover the fate of the world after the nuclear and chemical Holocaust.

Survivors are scarred by flash burns from the nuclear blast and have become scavengers, fighting each other for any scraps they can find. The more organized have barricaded themselves in any structure still standing, defending themselves against the vicious Road Rats; Post Apocalyptic gangs of the worst that humanity had produced. These gangs prey upon the less fortunate and the helpless, torturing, raping and pillaging, their lucky victims are the ones killed quickly.

To make their circumstances yet more perilous, a chemical in the warheads has released an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) that has rendered most vehicles and electronics useless by frying their computer boards. Traveling on foot, the survivors hide from the Road Rats and from the monsters that control the night. A chemical in the bombs has infected tens of thousands with a contagious bacteria which turns its victims into man eating Zombies. The bacteria attacked the brains of its victims leaving them with no emotion or brain activity other than that necessary to function physically and follow their most primal instincts, to hunt, kill and feed. Unfortunately the most abundant food source is us.

Mason, Keith, Emily and Colleen meet many others in their search for a place to hide from the Zombies and find an abandoned Fort fully stocked by the military. Once inside and barricaded behind the gate, they fight off Road Rats, their own loved ones turn into Zombies and others are locked out after dark, when the dead walk.

This perfect camp turns into a nightmare as hordes of Zombies attack in massive waves and almost overrun the walls. After these attacks and the ensuing battles, the dead creatures are piled so high outside that there are horrible ramifications. The survivors inside are becoming infected with the bacteria and the Zombies are close to being able to simply walk over the wall. In an epic battle with Road Rats, the heroes build vehicles that will carry them through the Zombie Horde. They loose many of their loved ones in the escape attempt and fight with every last ounce of strength. They do what every other survivor must do, they run. They run away from what would be their tomb in a last attempt to escape the Siege of the Zombies.
