Overview
An infection which appears to be caused by a bacteria in the water turns out to be more. A fourteen-year-old student, Dannie, feels the real cause is linked to her recurring dreams. When the infection reaches an epidemic level. it becomes clear that this infection not only kills, but restores the body to a minimally functioning state where the infected become the “living-dead”. This unique twist on the classic zombie theme, centers around the highly-intuitive Dannie Jacobs and a group of four other middle school students who try to save their friends, their town and themselves in spite of the odds against them. While they are desperately trying to find an answer before it’s too late, they meet researcher Sue who may hold the key to the infection and Dannie’s dreams.

Viewing Notes
Next up was a real treat: Pathogen by 12 year old director Emily Hagins. Of course, this film is not so much a work of art but rather a work of heart. It’s touching and humorous (mostly unintentionally so) and really a wonderful film starring mostly 12 year old kids dealing with zombies. A flick I need to buy and look forward to screening at future movie nights. Wish I was that capable at her age. Seriously impressive.
