Every rating
A group of strangers becomes trapped inside a sprawling shopping mall during a sudden and violent zombie apocalypse. They must work together to barricade themselves inside against the hordes of the undead that surround the building. While the mall provides for their immediate needs, the survivors grapple with cabin fever and the looming threat of both the zombies outside and other humans inside.
