Why you should watch: This Canadian Screen Award-winning film first premiered during TIFF’s Midnight Madness, making it the perfect addition to your next horror movie marathon. Set in 1981 on the Mi’qmaq reserve of Red Crow, sheriff Traylor responds to a series of unusual calls in which diseased animals are reanimating and attacking the public. The disease sweeps through humans, leading to a zombie apocalypse. The catch? Indigenous communities are immune. It’s a refreshing twist on an old trope and the muddy, graffitied set designs feel dystopian in a way that isn’t far-fetched.
