The Asylum is back with a fresh zombie flick, Resident Dead, landing on digital platforms today. The film follows a desperate father thrust into an apocalyptic wasteland. He is forced to fight his way through relentless hordes of the walking dead to save his infected daughter. However, time is rapidly running out. Before the virus takes permanent hold, he embarks on a brutal cross-country trek to search for a rumored cure that could preserve what little remains of his family.

A Horrifying Final Destination

While dodging flesh-eating monsters and hostile survivors poses a constant threat, the father’s journey takes an even darker turn as they near their goal. Rather than finding a haven of salvation, he discovers that the most twisted and horrifying challenge of all awaits him at his final destination. This proves that in a ruined world, the dead are far from the only thing to fear.

The Talent Behind the Nightmare

Written and directed by Ryan Ebert, Resident Dead pairs emotional, father-daughter survival stakes with uninhibited indie zombie mayhem. Lead performances by John Scott Wells as the protective father and Isabel Ramirez as his deteriorating daughter anchor the film. Jarod Brock co-stars.

Streaming on Digital Today

Delivering fast-paced apocalyptic action, grim suspense, and a dark narrative twist, Resident Dead is ready for genre fans looking for a fresh creature feature this weekend. The film is available to rent or purchase on major digital and Video-on-Demand platforms starting today.
