THE LONG WAY THROUGH

Elevated Survival Horror Feature Film

Not Just Another Zombie Movie.

In a genre crowded with predictable infection stories, THE LONG WAY THROUGH delivers something far more powerful: a deeply emotional, high-stakes survival thriller where the real monsters may not be the infected.

LOGLINE

In a world devastated by infection and human cruelty, two siblings chasing the promise of sanctuary are violently torn apart by a rising militia force, forcing a secretly infected brother to fight through monsters and men to save his sister before he turns.

WHY THIS FILM

  Can he save her before he becomes the very thing she fears?
