They tampered with nature – now they must pay the price…

While traveling through the English countryside, two strangers become entangled in a series of brutal murders linked to a government experiment using ultrasonic radiation to control pests. The dead begin to rise, and the pair must fight both zombies and skeptical authorities who suspect them of the crimes. Atmospheric and politically charged, the film blends environmental anxiety with eerie, slow-burning undead horror.
