After The Pandemic Reaches Disc And Digital March 1

Is it in bad taste to make a pandemic movie while the world is experiencing a real one? If it is, that hasn’t stopped Uncork’d from coming out with indie horror films that say “PANDEMIC” in giant red letters on their posters. The latest one is called “AFTER THE PANDEMIC,” and it hits this coming Tuesday.

The pandemic in this movie was much worse than COVID (though Uncork’d claims the plot was “COVID-inspired”). It outright killed 90 percent of the population, and the survivors, mostly young, are trying to survive any way they can. That brings us to Ellie and Quinn, the two central characters who carry plenty of face masks AND bullets. They’re being chased by a merciless gang called the Stalkers and will need every defense trick they’ve got.

It is, of course, easier to film under pandemic restrictions if you work a plague into the plot. That doesn’t necessarily mean anyone WANTS to watch a pandemic movie right now, though.

After The Pandemic stars Eve James, Kannon Smith, Juniper Preacher, Derek Sneddon, Alec McCormick, Gu Sewen, Virginia Fivas, and Leslie Ldmaw. It was written and directed by Richard Lowry and produced by Francesca Zappitelli, and will be out on digital and DVD March 1.

A dark sci-fi thriller set around the Covid-19 pandemic, the film is set in a post-apocalyptic world where a global airborne pandemic has wiped out 90% of the Earth’s population and only the young and immune have endured as scavengers. For Ellie and Quinn, the daily challenges to stay alive are compounded when they become hunted by the merciless STALKERS. Their perilous journey culminates with a sacrifice, death, and redemption.
