“The Clearing” (*** out of four) was a fierce horror thriller set during the zombie apocalypse in which a dedicated father (Liam McIntyre) must fight through a Hell wrath of zombies in order to save his daughter (Aundrea Smith) before they’re both turned into zombie brunch and eaten alive. Umpteenth zombie story is livened up and given a fresh coat of paint by unusually vivid and scary zombie attacks and breathless action scenes. Takes its time to get going but once it does there is no letup. Byetheway, this is not a remake of the 2004 Robert Redford/Willem Dafoe drama of the same name.
