Product Description
And unexplained phenomenon has caused the recently dead to reanimate and seek the flesh of the living. In a matter of weeks, the walking dead outnumber their living counterparts. Those who survived the initial apocalyptic events are now forced to defend themselves against hordes of the undead and, often times, the living as well.

"Broken Road" is the first short film in the Deadscapes series by writer / director Kristofer Velasquez. In this installment, an unlikely trio of survivors must decide whether to trust in each other for survival or let deception seal their fates. A militant vigilante-type named Eric has survived the zombie chaos armed with a gun and an RV camper. Greg and Jesse encounter Eric after their vehicle breaks down in a land overrun by the dead. "Broken Road" takes us on a dizzying trip of death, undeath, murder, and lies.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another zombie Z-grader! Not even worth 1 star, January 20, 2008

By	D. Kendrick "Music Man Movie Dan" (Nelson, New Zealand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm always, well I used to be, keen to check out flicks about the undead. Yet in recent times, the poor old flesh-eating zombie has been molested by inept young gits who flounce about with the nerve to call themselves directors. It's amazing how some people really believe in themselves, when in fact there is nothing to believe in. WAKE UP!!!! Stop abusing the dead by making pitifully acted, zero-budget tripe. I feel cheated!!! I know, I'm the fool for buying it, but there should be a law!!!! Poor old George Romero must be rolling in his grave, and he ain't even (un)dead yet. Leave it to the masters. Go mow lawns or something. In short, AVOID THIS 20-minute DIAHRROEA!!!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars I wanted to like this film, December 23, 2007

By	P. Mann (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a fan of independent film, and a black-and-white zombie film--well, Romero and the original Night of the Living Dead certainly come to mind. Unfortunately, I found too little here to like.

The film begins with a man named Eric killing a zombie. Soon, Greg and Jesse show up, claiming their car has broken down and asking for shelter. Eric reluctantly takes them into his RV and then begins with a series of statements redolent of macho nonsense. Since he has the gun, it seems Greg and Jesse have no choice but to go along. And yet they don't.

The main problem for me with this film was the combination of stilted acting and the characters' ill-considered choices. The 23-minute film is not long enough to explore the claustrophobia that was so effective in Romero's film, and the characters (or actors) are never really free to escape their one-dimensional roles.
