Synopsis
It Stains the Sands Red (2016) — watch online this low-budget horror-comedy-drama directed by Colin Minihan, which strips the zombie apocalypse down to its barest form: one woman, one zombie, and an unbroken stretch of Nevada desert between them and a waiting plane. Molly's car dies on an empty highway outside Las Vegas. The zombie catches up. It doesn't stop following her.
What Minihan does with that setup is less about gore than endurance. The heat, the distance, the dwindling supplies — and then the strange rhythm that develops between Molly and the thing behind her, until she starts talking to it out loud. Brittany Allen holds the film together through most of its runtime, and the character slowly reveals a past that adds weight to the survival story.
It's closer to a road movie than a horror film, using the desert crossing as the space to let Molly work through something. For a micro-budget genre piece, it commits fully to the idea. Stream It Stains the Sands Red (2016) online on iFILM.
