Synopsis

Sarah (Roxanne Pallett) is a young woman that has been thrown out of her house by her alcoholic mother and forced to live in Albion Court, a run-down apartment building with a seedy reputation. With no other options, Sarah tries to make the best of a bad situation and initially things seem to be going fairly well, as she finds that she gets along well with her neighbors. However it isn't long before a series of strange events culminates in a horde of zombies appearing and attacking the building's occupants.

Cast

Reception

Critical reception for Devil's Tower has been moderately positive,[5] with multiple reviewers commenting that although the film was overly familiar and lacked originality, the movie's acting was decent and the film's script was entertaining.[6][7] Dread Central gave the film three blades, praising the performance of Jessica-Jane Clement and writing: "It's a strong enough story given some real effort by the cast and was obviously put together by filmmakers with a love of the genre and the drive to make it work regardless of limitations."[8] FromPage2Screen.Com rated the film very highly again noticing the care and attention given to the film, by filmmakers who love their craft [9]

gollark: How is it stronger than usual?
gollark: Strong how?
