What happens
Herd is a 2023 American horror film written and directed by Steven Pierce. The film premiered in competition at the 2023 FrightFest, and was distributed internationally through Dark Sky Films. The cast includes Ellen Adair, Mitzi Akaha, Jeremy Holm, Timothy V. Murphy, Corbin Bernsen, Amanda Fuller, and Dana Snyder. Set amidst a viral outbreak that turns people into zombie-like creatures, Herd tells the story of a fractured lesbian couple seeking refuge in a rural militia compound. Blending zombie horror with queer drama and militia politics, the film explores the fragility of connection in times of crisis and asks whether the real monsters are the ones infected by a virus—or those driven by hatred and fear. Herd received mostly positive reviews from critics, and currently holds a score of 85% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Awards Radar included Adair's portrayal of Jamie Miller among their "Best Horror Performances of 2023." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
