Zombies seem to be endlessly popular. Just when you think the world is getting bored of the horror sub-genre, something pops along to prove otherwise. Whether it’s Shaun of the Dead, World War Z, The Walking Dead or the most recent hit series The Last of Us, there is always something new and popular. So it’s no surprise that low-budget horror filmmakers will often give the zombie movie a go.

In this one, the unimaginatively titled Alive, Helen, her younger brother Barney, and her boyfriend Kevin (this has to be a British film with those names doesn’t it?!) are trying to find a safe haven during the zombie apocalypse. This safe haven is an island in which they have the directions for on a Gps unit of some sort.

Gravitas Ventures will be giving writer/director David Marantz’s zombie movie Alive a digital release on January 31st, and to start building the hype for it they have dropped a trailer for the film online. You can check it out in the embed above, and take a look at the poster for Alive at the bottom of this article.

Said to be “in the tradition of 28 Days Later and Cabin Fever“, Alive has the following synopsis: Helen navigates a ravaged world with her boyfriend Kevin and her little brother Barney. Desperate to find help after Barney’s infection slowly turns him into a zombie, they come upon a house where lives Dan, a man harboring a heavy secret.
