When split, the characters come face to face with the brutality of a pandemic sweeping small town Texas. They quickly realize the seriousness of their predicament. Now, they must make it out of this town alive. Some survivors show great kindness in the face of adversity, and others show cowardice, fear, and discontent for humanity. None can escape the death around them. There is no sign of law or order, and civil structures have fallen apart. People of the church are few, but remain convinced that the pandemic is the reckoning of God. Many are forced to kill those they know, or those they love. Sequentially , many have become warped, and mentally unstable. In the end a retribution will be paid.

Review:
Normally I'm okay with artistic plot devices that leave something to the imagination, but when critical events occur that leave you unclear about WHAT happened and not just WHY, it becomes annoying. Also I'm not sure if these were actual "artistic devices" or just plain bad editing.
Bloopers: Guns were obtained and then suddenly seemed to be no longer present or changed hands without explanation at least three times. At least two critical events were somehow skipped over or something so that it was hard to know what happened. The "zombies" and effects were OK, but only OK. Nice try guys, but it needs work.
It's a pity, this could have been a six-star movie, but I can only give it a four due to its flaws.
