A Virus Spreads In New Trailer For Apocalyptic Horror 'End Times'

A Virus Spreads In New Trailer For Apocalyptic Horror ‘End Times’

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. Claire is a privileged young suburbanite ill-equipped to survive in this hostile new landscape until she meets Freddie, a retired soldier who lost his daughter to the virus. As they travel together to reach the perimeter, Freddie teaches Claire the skills that will enable Claire to survive, and the uneasy partnership between the two grows into something more akin to a father/daughter relationship. Before they can reach safety, the two will have to escape brutal gangs, cannibals, cults, and the undead.”
