Decade Of The Dead Dawns On Digital

Here’s an indie horror film that was filmed entirely on the island of Oahu. Ordinarily the center of big-budget productions like Lost or Jurassic Park, you might be interested to know the Island State has its own thriving indie cinema scene. Dark Star Pictures is distributing Decade Of The Dead, which launches today on VOD.

The zombie apocalypse hit ten years ago, and Rachel, Tweeter, and Ben have just barely hung on. They think they’ve finally reached sanctuary when they come across a secluded tropical island — surely the undead haven’t infected this place, right? Wrong…they soon discover the island is home to a deadly cult that worships zombies and follows in their practices (meaning they eat people). They should just get out of there, but when Rachel finds her sister alive and unwell as a High Priestess of the cult, things get complicated.

Decade of the Dead stars Sean Patrick Thomas (Cruel Intentions, Save The Last Dance), Jenna Leigh Green (The Survialist, Sabrina the Teenage Witch),  Shane Johnson (Power), Branscombe Richmond (The Scorpion King, Mortal Kombat) and Dean Geyer (Zoey 102, Glee). It was co-directed by Adam Deyoe (Psycho Sleepover, Dead Season) and Oahu-based filmmaker Fairai Richmond. Loren Semmens of Flynn Forest Productions, Bryan Spicer (Magnum P.I., Hawaii Five-0) and Sight & Sound Productions served as producers.

Ten years into the zombie apocalypse, Rachel, Tweeter, and Ben, live in a world without hope. While scavenging the Caribbean, they happen upon The Sworn, a zombie-worshiping cult of the worst remnants of humanity. The Sworn not only worship the dead but consume the living and enslave those they fail to convert. Rachel is captured and reunited with her long-lost sister, the high priestess of The Sworn, who leads the cult with Grinner, a blood-thirsty, fanatical brute, but the reunion is short-lived as they battle to make it off the island alive.

I’ve followed Adam Deyoe’s work since Psycho Sleepover, and he’s always had a knack for blending horror with dark humor. Pairing him with Fairai Richmond, who knows Oahu’s potential as a setting, is a smart move. The cult element adds a layer of human horror that’s sometimes more terrifying than the zombies themselves. I’m all in for this one.

I hope the movie doesn’t rely too much on clichés. The zombie genre often suffers when filmmakers lean on tropes instead of building real tension. That said, with a cast featuring Sean Patrick Thomas and Branscombe Richmond, there’s a lot of potential. If they can bring out the human drama amidst the horror, this could be something special.

As someone from Hawaii, it’s exciting to see a local filmmaker like Fairai Richmond getting recognition! Oahu is such a versatile location for storytelling, and I love that this film highlights the island’s indie talent. The zombie cult idea is wild, but I’m here for it. It’s great to see the Hawaiian film industry branching out beyond tourist-friendly productions.

Sean Patrick Thomas and Jenna Leigh Green in the same movie? That’s a blast from the past I didn’t know I needed. I grew up watching Save The Last Dance and Sabrina, so seeing them tackle something this intense is exciting. Hopefully, their performances anchor the chaos of the zombie apocalypse and the cult madness.

The Caribbean setting alone makes this worth a look for me. Zombie movies always take place in depressing gray cities or barren wastelands, so a tropical island is a refreshing twist. Plus, the cult plotline sounds intense. I’m ready to see how Rachel navigates such a personal and horrifying situation.
