SILVER

A group of seemingly unrelated individuals fight their way out of a virus-infested hotel, only to find themselves in a worse place than before. Every direction proves to be a deadlier test as they struggle to survive amid the carnage of blood-lusting creatures. Filmmaker Sky Wang, who was born in mainland China and immigrated to the West in his formative years, succeeds with his first Chinese feature film, which won Best Horror at the 2018 Los Angeles Film Awards. With impressive editing and directing, LOST IN APOCALYPSE is a well written and acted zombie-gangster thriller that delivers a strong message of sacrifice and persistence. DIR/SCR Sky Wang; SCR from the comic books by Ruibo Cao; PROD Iris Liu. China, 2018, color, 90 min. In Mandarin with English subtitles. NOT RATED
