Escaping the Dead
Escaping the Dead
2017, Danish. Directed by Martin Sonntag.
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark...
Inspired by the face eating incident in Florida a few years back, the film has its starting point in a typical day for the lead character, David. David is the local marihuana pusher, but he is the kind of dealer that smokes more than he sells. The country has been hit by a new deathdrug and when David and his partner in crime, Ahmir, are offered some exceptionally cheap cocaine they see it as an opportunity to earn big money to pay their debt. The cocaine turns out to have a terrible side effect that creates a giant zombie outbreak that spreads across the entire Copenhagen. In the film we follow David and his bloody fight out of the city.
