2002100 min6.7 / 10

A tense, visceral action-horror film about a military team fighting mutated creatures and zombies in a dystopian underground facility, driven by survival and conspiracy rather than character depth.

When a virus leaks from a top-secret facility, turning all resident researchers into ravenous zombies and their lab animals into mutated hounds from hell, the government sends in an elite military task force to contain the outbreak.
