A camping trip turns deadly for a couple when one of them gets injured in a world infected by zombie-like ‘Heps’ in upcoming horror Herd, which has been officially selected for this year’s FrightFest, and will celebrate its World Premiere on August 26th at the iconic horror festival.
Watch the trailer for Herd here…
Herd follows Jamie Miller and her wife, Alex trying to save their failing marriage by going on an isolated trip in rural Missouri. After an accident, the women find themselves trapped back in Jamie’s small hometown and where her father lives (Bernsen), which has become overrun by virus infected ‘Heps’.
Big John Gruber and his clan help Jamie and Alex by shuttling them to a local vet, who sets Alex’s leg. A horde of heps descends on the vet’s office, forcing the group to flee to a warehouse the locals are using as a survival base.
At the warehouse, a rival militia, led by Sterling (Murphy), arrives at the warehouse claiming they want to trade supplies. When the trade goes south, a battle breaks out between the two militia groups causing Jamie to try and flee. Will they find a way to escape and find their way back home?
Directed by Steven Pierce, the film stars Corbin Bernsen (Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang), Timothy V. Murphy (Snowpiercer), Ellen Adair (The Sinner) Mitzi Akaha (Archive 81) and Jeremy Holm (Mr. Robot).
“I am beyond enthusiastic that herd is making its World Premiere at FrightFest in London,” says Steven Pierce, Director & Co-Writer. “Alan Jones and his team put on one of the most exciting genre events in the world and I am so proud to be a contributor.
“Having the film be seen for the first time on such an incredible screen and in the heart of London is a filmmaker’s dream come true.”
