Exit Humanity is a gripping and emotional horror/drama film that explores one man's struggle for survival and redemption amidst a post-apocalyptic, zombie-ridden world. Set in the late 1800s during the American Civil War, the story follows a man named Edward Young (Mark Gibson), a former soldier who has lost everything - his wife, his son, his home and his sanity. He spends most of his time in a deep depression, drinking and mourning over his loss, until his life takes a dramatic turn when the dead rise from their graves and start attacking the living.
As the world around him falls apart and the zombies become a relentless threat, Edward sets out on a dangerous journey to find his family's home and seek redemption for his past sins. Along the way, he encounters various survivors who have been affected by the zombie outbreak, including a young girl named Eve (Jordan Hayes), and a group of Confederate soldiers led by General Williams (Brian Cox).
As Edward travels through the desolate countryside, he not only faces physical challenges, but also internal battles with his guilt, grief and sense of purpose. He reflects on his past mistakes, his relationship with his family, and his views on life and death, all while struggling to survive in a world where the line between the living and the dead has been blurred.
Meanwhile, General Williams and his men are also on a mission to survive and fight against the zombie threat, but their philosophies on how to do so clash with Edward's own beliefs. The conflict between the two groups leads to intense confrontations and emotional discussions about humanity, morality and the nature of the apocalypse.
The film is masterfully directed by John Geddes, who successfully creates a haunting and atmospheric tone throughout the story. The special effects, makeup and cinematography are also impressive, creating an authentic and terrifying portrayal of the zombie apocalypse.
The performances of the cast are exceptional, especially that of Mark Gibson, who delivers a heartfelt and nuanced portrayal of Edward's journey. Brian Cox also shines as the complex and charismatic General Williams, adding a layer of depth and complexity to the film. Dee Wallace also delivers a strong performance as Eve's mother, bringing a sense of vitality and hope to the story.
Overall, Exit Humanity provides a unique and refreshing take on the zombie genre, delivering a powerful and emotional story about one man's journey through loss and redemption in a world overrun by the undead. It is a well-crafted and thought-provoking film that will leave audiences thinking long after it is over.
