Review of "Haven’s End" by The Headless Critic

Haven’s End – 2019

Production by: Blue Dusk Productions



The Center for disease control just erupted in a ball of flames. The major cities of the United States are under attack. Alison (Catherine Taber), her fiancé Derek (Anthony Nguyen) and friend Jessi (Megan Hayes) decide to flee Atlanta to rural Georgia where Alison grew up for safe haven. With the world under attack by an unknown force everyone is in a paranoid state. It’s a fight for survival where even your friends become suspicious. When Alison and her family begin seeing mysterious lights in the woods where they’re staying, the origins of what’s happening in the cities may be more than an attack among countries. It may be more than what is of this world.

Horror enthusiast Chris Ethridge’s second feature is a sci-fi, action, horror, thriller where the world is under siege but by what may not be what you first expect. In a classic Walking Dead journey, when cities are no longer safe a group of survivors take to rural Georgia for survival. As with any good post-apocalyptic aftermath, surviving against the elements including other survivors is where the majority of drama is created. Alison and her friends and family are in a paranoid state that has them turning against each other, sometimes accidentally in their paranoid state. The pending consumption of what’s really going on in the outside world surrounds them in their new forest home, closing in with the horror of what’s happening.
