If the Max Fisher Players from Rushmore made a zombie movie it would feel a lot like Pathogen.
"In the world of independent cinema, you never know what you’re going to get. With technology in its current state, it seems that just about anyone with a camera and a bit of gumption can put together a movie, sometimes with disastrous results. Then there are those surprises, gems that come from out of nowhere, that give independent film its heart and soul. Pathogen, the independent film created by a thirteen-year-old auteur named Emily M. Hagins, is just such a gem." - Jon Condit, DreadCentral.com
"A love letter to old school zombie movies from the past but filtered through the lens of a teenager not even old enough to drive car." - Ian Jane, Rock! Shock! Pop!
"What I really enjoyed about this movie were the zombies… because they were old school." - Rick Romanowski, BuyZombie.com
Conceived when filmmaker Emily Hagins was 12 and released when she was 15, Pathogen is one of the most accomplished horror movies ever made by a person before they could legally drive a car. A mysterious technology has transformed the residents of Austin, TX into flesh-craving zombies. Armed with a knife, an axe, and many pairs of flip-flops, middleschooler Dannie and her pee-wee zombie squad take to the streets to battle undead parents, teens, and even a toddler. With an impressive devotion to editing and storytelling, Pathogen delivers eyeball gouging, decapitations, and knife fights, along with an endearing perspective that could only originate from a teenager. American Genre Film Archive + Bleeding Skull! are overjoyed to give Pathogen its first-ever theatrical release.
Plus a Something Weird short film!
