Overview: In MIRROR LIFE: MODERN ZOMBIES, a global pandemic is narrowly averted. Shortly after, Tracy Kovalsky discovers that her cousin Jordan has gone missing after enrolling in an illegal study at a research facility for a miracle drug called Dumitor.

Following an outbreak at the testing facility, Jordan and other patients are forced into lock-down. A life-and-death struggle for survival ensues as the patients are systematically hunted down while Tracy’s search for her cousin exposes the conspiracy to cover up the entire experiment - by any means necessary.

DVD Verdict: Let’s be very honest here, in this day and cinematic age it must be oh-so very hard to make a zombie film feel fresh, especially after the massive zombie obsession of the ’00s and ’10s.

Luckily for us though - and by us I mean all avid fans of horror movies alike - the writers/directors of Mirror Life: Modern Zombies - Brian Kazmarck and Kazy Tauginas - set out to prove from the very off that they themselves also wanted to showcase the fact that such a new angle to an old genre could be accomplished.

Having just finished watching Mirror Life, I myself have to say that as much as they did manage to make a lot of what we see slightly different to what we have seen played out before, overall the overriding experience of having seen another horror/zombie film was most definitely left residing within me come the end credits.

And that is not their fault, not at all, as what they set out to do, what they said they could/would achieve was - for the most part, I am willing to say - achieved here, and yet at the end of the day there is no escaping the fact that Mirror Life: Modern Zombies is, well, a horror/zombie flick.

Sometimes shot as a handheld documentary-styled film - akin to Blair Witch - it tells the story of a new drug about to hit the market that cures everything within everyone! The trouble is that it has to be tested on people first and therein lies the premise that brings us ... those pesky zombies.

Genuinely scary, a little shocking, and at times just downright sickly, both Kazmarck and Tauginas have created a slanted viewpoint of what we usually attribute to the known facts of what a zombie is and how it got be one, so for that alone they should be greatly commended. For these are virus-infected-humans who still have a semblance of humanity ticking within them, which one would hope could lead to a better ending, and yet, well, you will see.

So how does all this keep happening within this world of this genre? Well, as they say, they only had good intentions!

The DVD also includes deleted scenes and a brilliant Directors commentary!
