“Herd” (** out of four) was a glum horror thriller about a young couple (Ellen Adair and Mitzi Akaha) on a vacation in the countryside who find themselves in the midst of a zombie outbreak and an oppressive militia who may be even worse than the zombies. Director Steven Pearce and cinematographer Brennan Full show some promise and beautiful imagery but they’re swallowed up by a storyline and themes that need fresh blood. Guys, it’s time to give the zombie/militia genre a rest because I honestly don’t know much more that can be done with it at this point.
