Surreal....
dvlspice1 June 2015
What little I have seen of this is truly strange to me. I am a Deep Riverite, born and raised, and it's surreal to me to see my little piece of Canada in a zombie movie. Seeing places I know quite well, including my mom's store. Places that I grew up around every day. I don't know any of the actors as far as I know but now I'm interested to see the whole thing just to see my town immortalized on film. People should make more movies there because it is such a beautiful place. We have a great downtown core as well as a stunning boardwalk off of the Ottawa River. Go Deep River, Go! I hope that this movie does my town justice is all that I'm saying.

GRATUITOUS VIOLENCE and MAYHEM in Smalltown, CAN
muslave21 August 2011
Blood, gore, guns, and tits! Violent independent horror movie made in Deep River, Ontario, Canada...with great cinematography and good drama. These 20-somethings have a bit of a get-together on an island in Deep River to celebrate the return of one of their friends. When they get back to town, they find it vacant with litter strewn about and eventually discover things have really taken a turn for the worst. With excellent performances by leading man Kris Bowman and the rest, and great gore effects with lots of screaming and blowing holes in people. Not to mention machete dismemberment and banging of heads with crowbars like piñatas full of brains. Don't watch with Grandma or any other sensitive kin.
