This July, watch the zombie apocalypse unfold in the indie film End Times, starring Scream Queen Jamie Bernadette (I Spit On Your Grave: Deja Vu, Sebastian) and Craig Stark (Once Upon A Time in Hollywood). Written and directed by Jim Towns (House of Bad, The Possession of Anne), End Times follows a pair of mismatched travelers, Claire and Freddie (Bernadette and Stark), as they try to escape a deadly pandemic that has turned Los Angeles into a zombie-infested wasteland.

Before they can reach safety, the two will have to escape brutal gangs, cannibals, cults, and the undead.”
